8 Hair Care Tips For Dry And Dull Hair

Do split-ends and hair that lack sheen bother you? Are you waiting for a good hair day just to flaunt your tresses? Then you're not alone. While we can owe some of it to the weather for those brittle strands and dry, dull tresses; it's also time for us to take better care of our hair. Yes, we can't imagine stepping out without styling our hair. This means heat application, hot showers and washing our hair almost daily may come naturally to us. But those are just a few things we need to stay away from to achieve luscious, shiny hair. If you're looking to revive the moisturisation in your hair then here are a few tips to try. Say hello to hydrated and nourished locks!  

Get a trim

The first step of hair care is getting regular trims every three to four months. Getting regular trims helps to do away with split ends, making your hair look healthy and split-end free. Once you bid adieu to these, your hair is bound to look thicker and more nourished.

Oil your hair once a week

Just like you spend time putting on clay masks and sheet masks for your skin, give your hair some extra TLC. Take out time once a week to oil your hair, and for the best results we'd suggest coconut or castor oil.

Use a hair mask

After being exposed to harsh weather conditions, your rough and unruly hair requires a little extra attention. Hair masks work wonders to nourish and hydrate your tresses. Not only will a hair mask help nourish your hair, but a shinier and softer mane is a natural outcome. With a plethora of options available in the market, pick out one that is best suited for your hair texture and woes.

Go for a hair spa

An additional day of self-pampering? Yes, please! Replenish your hair with hydration as you give it a moisturiser surge at the salon. Hair spas are not only relaxing but help to strengthen your hair avoiding breakage and damage.

Avoid heat styling

Styling your hair with heat may do wonders for the short term but in the long run, you will find yourself questioning these methods. While we all give in to our need for perfectly styled tresses before stepping out, the benefits of staying away from these are far more. Excessive heat styling can damage the roots of your hair, cause breakage and frizziness. Instead, opt to air dry or wrap dry your hair.

Don't wash your hair daily

Washing your hair daily may seem like the most sensible thing to do. But in the quest for keeping your hair clean and fresh, washing them daily strips the hair of hydration. It fades the texture and shine and also dries out the scalp. Limit washing your hair to two to three times a week at max.

Add omega-3 to your diet

Omega-3 is known for promoting hair growth and can also prevent hair follicle inflammation. Adding omega-3 supplements or omega-3 rich foods to your diet can drastically help the texture of your hair over time. For supplements, it's best to consult a dermatologist before use.

Avoid hair colour

It looks gorgeous when styled, but hair colour harms your roots more than anything, leading to breakage, dullness and frizziness. If hair woes are bothering you, we suggest taking a break from your hair colour regime. Instead, focus on giving your hair some extra love and hydration with hair masks and oil.
