Dry Hair Tips & Recommendations Opulence Salon and Day Spa

Some hair types will tend to naturally be dry or feel dry such as curly or coarse hair. With these hair types you need to be careful to preserve and maintain the moisture in the hair.

The main causes of dry hair

Washing too frequently- Even with professional moisturizing shampoos you are still removing natural oils from the hair, those oils are the natural barrier to protect the hair. If you can it’s best to go two-three days between shampoos, depending on your natural oil production, and always make sure to use good quality products. If you wash less you are also not going to need to use heat styling as frequently.

Thermal Styling- If left unprotected, thermal styling can wreak havoc on your hair. Make sure to use products that have thermal protection if you blow dry or iron style your hair.

Chemical Processing- Most of us like to enhance our color in some way and it’s a great way to add interest to your hair. You need to compensate by making sure to use the correct products and styling protection to keep your hair looking and feeling it’s best.

The Elements- The elements and environment can take a toll on your hair over time especially UV light. Make sure to use leave in conditioners or styling products that contain UV protection.
