Dry Hair Remedies And Treatments You Can Do
At Home That Work!

Dry Hair Causes

Before giving you a few good dry hair remedies, I wanted to share some reasons and causes of why and how you can get dry hair in the first place.

Weather Conditions Could Cause Dry Hair Damage

There are many different reasons you can have dry hair, including weather conditions. The weather conditions that can produce dry hair may be due to living in a dry & hot desert climate.  

Living in the dessert can make your hair dry and living next to a dessert can make your hair a little less dry than living inside of one but it is still a possibility. 

Environmental Reasons Could Cause Dry Hair Damage

Another environmental reason you can have very dry hair may be because you may be spending alot more time in a windy, sunny town such as the beach.

Spending time at the beach is delightful but your hair will start to see the effects of the beach's sun, wind and salty-hair-drying-ocean-water over time. 

Another hair drying cause is swimming in chlorinated water. On a side note this type of water can also turn your hair green too, especially if you just got your hair highlighted! So it's best to always wear a swimming cap during this swimming time, if you love your hair. 

Styling Hair Products Can Cause Dry Hair Damage

Another contribution to having dry hair is due to your hair care routine. Dry hair can be caused by using hot tools on your hair daily such as hot rollers, curling irons, blow dryers, and flat irons. 

Your hair can also get super dry from doing chemically treated hair routines such as from:

• coloring
• perm
• highlighting 
• bleaching

Dry hair is also caused from overly washing your hair more than necessary because shampoo strips the hair of dirt and oil and doing this too much per week could cause dryness in your hair. 

Using styling products that contain alcohol can also cause your hair to become dry over time with daily use.
