Dry Hair Treatment

Dry hair has got to be one of the most common complaints for both men and women. There’re a number of reasons for this common occurrence.

• Climate
• Chemicals
• Diet
• Genetics

The normal content of moisture in an average persons hair is approximately 10%.

Once the content of your hair’s moisture drops below 10%, it is suggested to start applying a daily moisturizer. Now, I know what your thinking, how will I ever know if my hair’s moisture content drops below 10%? When you start to notice that your hair is overly dry, it’s a good indication that your hair has dropped below the desired level of moisture.

The leading product manufacturers produce moisturizers that include an ingredient called "humectants". This ingredient replaces moisture that has been lost as well as attracts moisture and helps hold it in the core of the hair follicle.

A home remedy that works wonders on dry hair is Safflower Oil. It contains essential fatty aids or EFA’s, which is a great natural moisturizer. The procedure is very easy to follow...

• Wash and dry your hair as you normally would
• Apply a few drops of Safflower Oil to your dry hai
• Start with the tips and work your way up
• Leave the oil in your hair to be absorbed as the day goes on

Of course our body produces natural EFA’s, which is called sebum. The only problem is with longer hair, the oil isn’t able to make it’s way down to the tips and therefore all of the hair isn’t able to get naturally moisturized, as GOD intended.

Whether you rely on the major product manufacturers to supply you with your moisturizing solutions or you go the old home remedy route, dry hair isn’t the end of the world, although it may seem so at the time. A proper hair care regimen will conquer any problem that may arise, even dry hair.
