What Can I Do To My Stubborn, Dry Natural Hair?

 

yesterday evening, I got a mail from a follower on twitter. This was what the mail read word for word..

  " Hello. I have a really big problem. I cut my hair last year august to go natural & its almost a year now it still hasn't shown improvement"


"I have a really stubborn and dry hair. I've given up on it. I need help. Thanks"

so today, we are going to help our friend with solutions.

Now the question is what causes dry hair?

• frequent use of shampoo.

 

Use of shampoo with harsh sulphates.

Use of products with alcohol.

Not drinking enough water (water works).

Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase or using a cotton scarf, which rob hair of moisture

Overly porous or low porosity hair.

Not using water based hair moisturizers.

Not sealing moisture in with an oil or butter(http://www.groomingnaturals.blogspot.com/2014/06/moisturizing-natural-hair.html

Improper hair pH

Excessive use of heavy products w/out proper cleansing (build-up)

Chemical Damage such as relaxers or other chemical straighteners

Colour treated hair.

Using too much direct heat (blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, etc. on a consistent basis)

Too much chlorine (from swimming pools or tap water)

Salt (from ocean water)

General weathering from the elements

If you can avoid theses then you wont have dry hair that is stubborn and annoying.

 NB: Find out WHY your hair is dry. After you establish this, you can determine how best to combat the issue. Remember, the goal is to always keep your hair well-moisturized. Well, as best you can anyway!
