Did you know that…dry or dried up?

DRY OR DRIED?
It is very important to know how to recognize if your hair is dry or dried up: it helps a lot when choosing the type of treatment.

Dry hair, for example, is those that lose a lot of water and therefore need greater hydration. Dry hair, in addition to losing water, loses proteins and lipids.

Dry hair
Key Features: Most dry hair is dull, dehydrated, lacks natural shine and breaks easily. Producing low amounts of fat for the sebaceous glands, dry hair is not properly lubricated right down to the tips and tends to be little or not “silky” at all.

The main causes are: environments with excessive pollution, frequent use of hairdryers or straighteners, chemical treatments, styling and perms. These procedures can cause hair to be dry and brittle.

The ideal treatment for dry hair is frequent and periodic hydration and essential oils to treat this type of hair.

Products for dry hair must contain humectant components, the function of which is to moisturize. Continuous use of these products will help leave hair strands softer, shinier and with a healthy appearance.

Dried hair
Main characteristics: damage can be seen along the length of the hair threads.

Dried hair loses its structure, the cuticle remains slightly open due to mechanical processes, such as hair dryers and straighteners, but maintains a shiny appearance despite the structure being not smooth but rough.

The main causes are: alkaline chemical processes that do not allow the cuticle to close and return to its natural position. The ideal is to invest in products with an acidic pH that helps close the hair cuticles, interspersing weekly hydrations to replenish lost water. One of the useful components is keratin or other reconstructors to recover the structure of the strand and leave the hair stronger.

The ideal treatment for this type of hair is to frequently use a hydrating mask, leaving it on correctly. Naturally it is advisable to have a detailed chronogram to correctly alternate the products.
