Nourishing Your Dry Hair: Understanding the Causes, Treatment, and Diagnosis

Before getting deep into the right treatments for dry hair, let us understand the several factors that contribute to this condition:

1. Environmental exposure: Environmental stressors can do more damage to your hair than you can imagine. Sun, wind, UV rays, and pollution can strip the natural oils from your hair, making them more prone to dryness and damage.

2. Heat styling: Using heat styling tools without applying heat protectants can weaken your hair shafts, strip off the natural oils, and cause long-term damage to your hair. Don't forget to coat your hair with TRESemme Hair serum for optimum heat protection of up to 230 ℃ and enjoy a salon sleek finish at home.

3. Chemical treatments: Hair colouring is fun, but chemicals used in the process can damage your hair cuticles, making your hair more prone and fragile to damage. Repeatedly colouring your hair can make your hair brittle, dry, and strip off the natural oils from your strands.

4. Over-washing: If you are someone who washes their hair after every alternative day or every day, this practice can make your hair excessively dry. Frequently shampooing your hair can remove its essential oils, leading to dry, brittle, and frizzy hair.

Many people often use the terms dry and dehydrated hair interchangeably, but it is important to understand the difference between the two, as they require different approaches to treatment.

Starting with dry hair, it is a type of concern where your scalp does not produce enough oil to keep the hair nourished, shiny, and healthy looking. In contrast to this, dehydrated hair lacks water and not oil which affects the overall appearance of your tresses.

Dry hair happens when your scalp lacks sufficient oil production, resulting in unwanted frizz, split ends, and other related problems. On the other hand, your hair may get dehydrated due to an imbalance in the hair's moisture levels. Dehydrated hair often becomes limp, lifeless, and fragile over a period of time.

Here are simple yet effective ways to consider, preventing the occurrence of dry hair:

1. Use a gentle shampoo: When it comes to dealing with dry hair issues, it is always best to opt for gentle and sulphate-free shampoos like TRESemme Pro Protect Sulphate-Free shampoo. However, if you looking for a smooth and gentle alternative, TRESemme Smooth and Shine Shampoo is the best available option for you.

2. Condition regularly: A good conditioner is essential to seal in moisture, add shine, and enhance the appearance of your hair. Pair TRESemme Hair Shampoo with TRESemme hair conditioners to intensely nourish and hydrate your hair after every wash.

3. Limit heat styling: Once you start noticing that your hair is getting drier, immediately stop using heat styling tools. If you must use them, always apply TRESemme heat-protectant serum beforehand to minimise damage.

4. Deep conditioning mask: Ensure to use the TRESemme hair mask at least once a week to provide a dose of deep moisture and nourishment without weighing them down. Use TRESemme Keratin Smooth Deep Smoothing Mask once a week to achieve frizz-free and silky smooth hair for up to 72 hours.

1. Restores moisture balance: One of the major benefits of using hydrating products like hydrating shampoo and conditioners help restore moisture in your hair, leaving a soft and smooth appearance. TRESemme Moisture Boost Shampoo contains Hyaluronic Acid that attracts water molecules to hair which makes hair soft, smooth, and moisturised after every wash.

2. Improves manageability: Following a proper dry hair care routine makes hair easier to detangle and style. For a sleek salon-like finish, don't forget to incorporate TRESemme hair serum in your daily hair care routine.

3. Reduce breakage and frizz: Well-moisturised hair is more elastic and less prone to snapping, helping to maintain your hair's length and strength. Eventually, also reduces unwanted frizz.
