What causes dry hair?

To effectively treat dry hair, it is important to understand its underlying causes. Here are some factors that can contribute to dryness:

1. climate and environment

Cold weather, low humidity or intense sunlight can dry out your hair. During winter, hair often becomes extra dry due to the combination of dry indoor air and cold outdoor temperatures.

2. excessive styling

Using heat tools such as straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers regularly can break down the hair's natural protective layer, leading to loss of moisture and elasticity.

3. Hair products with harsh chemicals

Many commercial shampoos and conditioners contain sulphates and parabens which can be extremely drying to the hair. These substances strip natural oils and leave hair vulnerable.

4. Insufficient moisture

If your hair care routine lacks products with moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera or natural oils, hair can quickly become dry and lifeless.

5. Improper diet and lifestyle

A diet deficient in essential vitamins and minerals, such as biotin and omega-3 fatty acids, can negatively affect hair health. Stress and poor sleep can also make hair drier and more fragile.

How you can treat dry hair

Treating dry hair requires a combination of the right products, a moisturizing routine and some lifestyle changes. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Invest in a gentle and moisturizing shampoo

Many shampoos on the market are formulated with strong detergents that dry out the hair. To counteract this, you should choose a shampoo that cleanses your hair without stripping it of its natural oils.

• Recommended product: Caring Shampoo, which contains hyaluronic acid and avocado oil to moisturize both hair and scalp while preventing irritation.

2. use a deep-acting hair mask regularly

Hair masks are one of the best solutions to give dry hair an extra dose of moisture and nourishment. A good hair mask contains ingredients that penetrate deep into the hair strands and moisturize deeply.

• Recommended product: Caring Masque, enriched with shea butter and hyaluronic acid, which help restore the shine and softness of the hair.

3. condition your hair after each wash

A moisturizing conditioner is essential to lock in moisture in the hair after washing. It also helps to make hair softer and easier to detangle.

• Recommended product: Caring Conditioner, with a unique combination of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil to protect and nourish dry hair.

4. Protect your hair with heat protection

If you cannot refrain from using heating tools, a good heat shield is a must to minimize damage and moisture loss.

• Recommended product: Nourishing Heat Protection, which moisturizes, protects against heat and counteracts chilliness.

5. Add a hair oil to your daily routine

Hair oils are great for taming frizz, adding shine and giving dry hair extra nourishment. A good hair oil also protects against external damage.

• Recommended product: Renewal Hair Oil, formulated with argan oil, oat oil and rosehip oil to provide hair with deep nourishment and shine.

Build your perfect hair care routine for dry hair

Creating a routine that really works is the key to long-term results. Here is a simple routine to follow:

1. Wash with a moisturizing shampoo: Use Caring Shampoo two to three times a week to gently cleanse your hair.
2. Apply a deep-acting hair mask: Once a week, use Caring Masque for intensive moisturization.
3. Follow up with conditioner: After each wash, use Caring Conditioner to lock in the moisture.
4. Protect hair from heat: Apply Nourishing Heat Protection before using heating tools.
5. Moisturize daily with hair oil: Apply Renewal Hair Oil to the ends for extra shine and softness.
