Why does my hair get dry?

Before we get into how to fix your dry hair, let's take a quick look at why hair gets dry in the first place. There are a couple of common culprits:

1. Overuse of heat tools - Yes, we know you love your straightener, but too much heat can suck all the moisture out of your hair.
2. Wrong hair care products - Are you using products with sulphates and parabens? These can be extremely drying for your hair.
3. Climate - If you live in a dry climate or have a lot of contact with the sun, your hair can lose its natural moisture.
4. Lack of moisture - If you don't use moisturizing hair masks or conditioners regularly, your hair won't get the love it needs.

Sound familiar? That's okay! You're not alone in feeling the frustration of dry hair, and we're here to help you find the solutions.

How to moisturize dry hair?

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get back that lovely feeling of soft, moisturized hair.

1. Choose the right shampoo

Start by reviewing your shampoo. If you're using a shampoo with sulfates or other harsh cleansers, it may be time to replace it. You want to go for a shampoo that both gently cleanses and moisturizes. A good choice is ours Caring Shampoo which contains hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, two ingredients that really help moisturize and soothe dry hair and sensitive scalps.

2. don't forget the conditioner

Conditioner is your best friend when battling dry hair. It locks in moisture and makes hair easier to detangle. Our Caring Conditioner is packed with nourishing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Piroctone Olamine, which both moisturize and protect your hair.

3. The hair mask - A lifesaver

If you don't already use a hair mask once a week, it's time to start. Hair masks are like a spa for your hair. Our hair mask Caring Masque is full of shea butter and avocado oil, which deeply moisturize and nourish your hair.

4. Hair oil for extra shine

Another secret ingredient to keep your hair moisturized and shiny is hair oil. Oil is perfect for locking in moisture and giving hair a healthy shine. Try our Renewal Hair Oil with argan oil and vitamin E, a lightweight oil that doesn't smudge but works wonders for dry hair.

5. Protect against heat

It's tempting to use curling irons or straighteners to get that perfect haircut, but without the right heat protection, heating tools can do more harm than good. The Nourishing Heat Protection is your best line of defense against heat damage. It also adds moisture and helps smooth out frizz.

Other tips to care for dry hair

In addition to choosing the right products, there are some other simple things you can do to improve the moisture level and health of your hair.

1. use cooler water

We know it's tempting to take a really hot shower (especially on winter mornings), but hot water can actually dry out both your skin and your hair. Try rinsing your hair in lukewarm or even cool water to keep your hair more moisturized.

2. dry your hair gently

Rubbing your hair with a towel after showering can wear it down and cause it to break more easily, especially if it is dry. Instead, you can gently pat it dry or use a microfiber towel.

3. moisture from the inside out

Drink water! Yes, it's as simple as it sounds. Your body, including your hair, needs water to stay hydrated. So make sure to drink enough water every day to keep your hair healthy and moisturized.
