You can easily nourish and revitalize dry, dull hair with the help of homemade hair masks. These recipes are prepared from natural and organic materials that are already at your home and can be used once a week.
Factors like harsh winter weather, sun exposure, dry air, hard water, heat, frequent use of hair products such as hair spray, gel, mousse, and conditions like scalp psoriasis, eczema, thyroid disorder and prolonged illness can make your hair even drier.
Besides, diet plays an important role in maintaining healthy and lustrous hair. In fact, lack of nutrients (especially calcium, protein, and omega 3 fatty acids) may result in dry, brittle hair.
Thus, have nutritious and balanced diet. You may consider taking multivitamins, too. Plus, drink adequate amount of water throughout the day as it provides moisture.
In addition, choose a mild yet moisturizing shampoo and a leave-in conditioner for your hair. It is suggested not to shampoo dry hair too often, or else it may strip your hair of natural oils. Shampoo your hair one or two times in a week.
