Recognizing and caring for dry hair – tips and products for healthy hair
Dry hair affects many people and is characterized by a lack of shine, a rough texture, and difficulty combing. The ends of the hair are brittle, and split ends often occur. Curly hair is particularly prone to dryness due to its structure. In this article, you'll learn how to recognize dry hair, its causes, and which care products can help revitalize your hair.
Dry hair or damaged hair?
Before you choose the right care products, it is important to know the difference between dry and damaged hair:
- Dry hair: The cuticle of the hair is roughened, while the underlying keratin structure is still intact.
- Damaged hair: Damaged hair has a porous and holey surface, often caused by chemical treatments such as coloring, bleaching, or perming.
This distinction is crucial because the care for dry hair is different from that for damaged hair.
Common causes of dry, brittle hair
There are many factors that can lead to dry hair. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Harsh shampoos: Shampoos with harsh surfactants remove natural oils and damage the hair's protective fatty acid layer, leading to extreme dryness.
- Heat styling: Frequent use of hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons destroys the natural fatty acid layer and promotes dryness.
- Environmental factors: UV radiation, chlorine and sea water as well as dry heating air can remove moisture and damage the hair structure.
- Malnutrition: A deficiency in important vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, biotin and B vitamins can lead to brittle, dry hair.
Care tips for dry hair
To counteract dry hair and improve hair structure, these care tips will help:
- Choose the right shampoo: Use moisturizing shampoos like Sea Buckthorn Chia Organic Shampoo , Sandalwood Millet Organic Shampoo or Schizandra Berry Organic Shampoo , which contain plant-based amino acids to condition hair and retain moisture.
- Adjust your hair washing routine: Do not wash your hair too often and avoid hot water to preserve the hair's protective lipid layer.
- Use less shampoo: Mix the shampoo with water (1:7) to reduce the amount and gently cleanse your hair.
- Regular use of conditioners and hair treatments: Regularly use organic conditioners and hair treatments with natural ingredients to moisturize and smooth your hair.
- Intensive care with hair oil: Use the myrto organic hair oil to prevent split ends and give your hair an extra dose of moisture.
- Scalp massages: Regular massages with the Organic Scalp Treatment T promote blood circulation and support sebum production, which leads to healthier hair.
- Prefer air drying: If possible, let your hair air dry to avoid heat damage. When using a hairdryer, keep a distance of about 15-20 cm and set a low temperature.
- Use heat protection: Use a heat protectant such as myrto Bio Volume Gel or myrto Bio Glossing Gel on curling irons or straighteners to protect your hair from damage.
Conclusion
Proper care can breathe new life into dry hair. Make sure you choose high-quality products and tailor your care approach to your hair's specific needs. With patience and the right care, you'll soon be able to enjoy healthy, shiny, and smooth hair.
