Why does hair become frizzy and dry?

Frizzy dry hair occurs when hair loses its natural moisture. This can be due to several factors:

• Weather and climate: Cold or dry weather can dry out your hair. During winter, the air is often drier, which can cause hair to lose moisture faster than usual. In summer, the sun can also dry out your hair, making it brittle and frizzy.
• Hair products: Using products containing sulphates and alcohol can contribute to dryness and frizziness. Sulphates are common in many shampoos as they help to create lather, but they can also strip the hair of its natural oils. Alcohol is found in many styling products and can have a drying effect on hair.
• Heating tools: Frequent use of hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons can damage hair. The heat from these tools can remove moisture from the hair and make it more prone to dryness and frizz.
• Lack of moisture: If you don't add enough moisture to your hair, it will become dry and frizzy. This can be due to not using moisturizing products or not drinking enough water, which affects the moisture balance of your body and hair.
