What to do with Dry Hair?

Dry hair is a real problem---ask the woman who owns some. Oily hair is bad, but dry hair is no picnic, either. Dry hair is dull hair, and it looks the same after you shampoo it, as it did before. Along with dry hair, you may also have a dandruff problem. Although dandruff is more often a condition associated with oily hair, people with dry hair get dandruff too. Common dandruff is simply a layer of skin shedding from your scalp. When the skin cells get trapped on your scalp by your hair and clump together you have dandruff. And dandruff can make your hair look dull.
Dry hair can result from external factors, such as exposure to harsh chemicals, Permanent waves and Dyes, cheap Shampoos, Chlorine in Swimming Pools, Blow dryers and Curling Irons and too much Sun. Chit Chat finally sent this tip direct instead of going through Georgie. She says that one should always brush their hair no matter the condition but the difference between dry and oily hair is that in one you remove the oil and the other you add the oil and conditioners. Her recommendation is to start with a Professional Salon treatment first but if you don’t have time you can give yourself this treatment at home with the following products: Start with Arbonne’s Skin conditioning oil that is used on your scalp and hair. The botanical blend of avocado oil, olive oil and grape seed will re-hydrate your hair. Only use a small amount and massage it into your scalp and through the hair thoroughly. Wrap your hair in a towel or plastic wrap and soak in a hot tub for 15 minutes. Shampoo twice to ensure removing the excess of the product. What a great way to condition your hair and scalp while at the same time relaxing in a great bath. Thanks Chit Chat for this information.
