Why does my hair get dry?

The first step towards treating dry hair is to understand why it happens. Here are some common causes:

  1. Over-washing: Washing your hair too often can strip it of the natural oils that protect and moisturize your hair. These oils are essential for keeping hair soft and shiny. If you wash your hair every day, consider reducing the frequency to give your hair a chance to retain its natural oils.
  2. Heating tools: Frequent use of hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons can dry out hair. These tools can reach very high temperatures that damage hair proteins and lipids, leading to dry and brittle hair. Try to let your hair air dry as often as possible and use heating tools in moderation.
  3. Climate: Dry climates and a lot of sun can contribute to the drying out of hair. UV rays can damage the outer layer of the hair and strip away moisture. Wear hats or other protection when out in the sun to protect your hair from these harmful effects.
  4. Chemical treatments: Coloring, bleaching and permanent treatments can damage the natural structure of the hair and make it drier. These treatments open up the outer layer of the hair shaft, making it harder for the hair to retain moisture. Try to limit the number of chemical treatments and use moisturizing products to reduce damage.

Hair care tips for dry hair

1. use the right shampoo and conditioner

Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is essential to treat dry hair. We recommend using our Caring Shampoo and Caring Conditioner which are specially formulated to moisturize and protect hair. These products contain hyaluronic acid and avocado oil which help to preserve moisture and nourish the hair.

Caring Shampoo is a mild and moisturizing shampoo that gently cleanses hair without drying it out. It contains a unique moisturizing complex that helps maintain the hair's natural moisture balance.

Caring Conditioner complements the shampoo by providing additional moisture and nourishment. This conditioner also contains Piroctone Olamine, which helps to soothe the scalp and counteract itching and dandruff.

2. Deep-acting hair wraps

Give your hair extra love with a deep conditioning hair wrap once a week. Our Caring Masque is perfect for providing intense moisture and nourishment to dry hair. It contains shea butter, hyaluronic acid and avocado oil that work together to repair and moisturize the hair shaft.

Apply Caring Masque generously to damp hair after shampooing. Leave on for 10-15 minutes for best results, then rinse thoroughly. This wrap helps restore hair's elasticity and shine, making it easier to manage and style.

3. protect your hair from heat

Always use a heat protection product before using heating tools. Nourishing Heat Protection helps protect hair from damage caused by high temperatures. This product contains hyaluronic acid, pea protein and provitamin B5, which not only protects against heat, but also adds moisture and nutrition to the hair.

Apply Nourishing Heat Protection to towel-dried hair before blow-drying, or to dry hair before using a straightener or curling iron. This will help minimize heat damage and keep your hair soft and healthy.

4. avoid excessive washing

Try not to wash your hair every day. Two to three times a week is enough to keep your hair clean without drying it out. If you feel your hair getting greasy between washes, try a dry shampoo like Volumizing Dry Shampoo Dark or Volumizing Dry Shampoo Blonde. These products refresh your hair and add volume without having to wash it.

5. Natural oils

Natural oils such as argan oil and coconut oil can do wonders for dry hair. Our Renewal Hair Oil contains a blend of nutrient-rich oils that add shine and reduce frizz. It's easy to apply and absorbs quickly without leaving hair greasy.

Use a few drops Renewal Hair Oil to lengths and ends after styling, or as a night treatment by applying the oil to the hair and leaving it on overnight. Rinse out in the morning for a soft and shiny result.

How to regain the health of your dry hair: Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Wash gently

Start by washing your hair with a mild, moisturizing shampoo like our Caring Shampoo. Massage it gently into your scalp and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using too hot water, as it can dry out your hair further. Lukewarm water is best for retaining hair's natural oils.

Step 2: Use conditioner

After washing your hair, apply Caring Conditioner from the center part to the ends. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out. Try to avoid the scalp when applying conditioner, as it can make your hair greasy faster.

Step 3: Apply hair wrap

Once a week, use Caring Masque after shampooing. Apply generously from root to tip and leave on for 10-15 minutes for maximum hydration. This deep-acting treatment helps to repair damage and restore moisture balance to your hair.

Step 4: Protect and style

Before styling, apply Nourishing Heat Protection to protect hair from heat damage. If using heat tools, keep the temperature on a low setting. Avoid pulling and tugging the hair when styling, as this can cause further damage.

Step 5: Oil for extra shine

Finish your routine with a few drops Renewal Hair Oil to lock in moisture and give your hair a natural shine. Apply the oil to damp or dry hair, depending on your needs. This final touch will help keep hair soft and manageable all day long.
