How to give your hair the agreed hydration?

Having soft and healthy hair is not an easy task. Getting your hair to look its best takes a lot of time, effort, and effort on your part. You need to make sure your scalp stays well moisturized at all times so that the rest of your hair looks great. But it can be difficult to figure out exactly which types of products will help you achieve this, because different hair types have different hydration needs. That’s why we’ve gathered all the information you need on how to properly moisturize your hair, so you can find the right routine to keep it hydrated every day, whether it’s thick, curly or straight!

What causes dehydrated hair?

Dehydrated hair is caused by a number of different factors, the most common of which is excessive exposure to heated styling tools such as hair dryers, curling irons and straighteners. Constant use of these tools can dehydrate the hair shafts, making them dry and brittle.

Additionally, excessive washing or using harsh shampoos can also strip away the essential oils needed to keep your hair hydrated. Other factors that contribute to hair dehydration are prolonged exposure to the sun, swimming in chlorinated or salt water pools, environmental pollutants such as smoke and dust particles, nutritional deficiencies, hormones, medications, and even some diseases.

It’s important to note that all hair types (curly, straight, or otherwise) can become dehydrated; however, some textures may be more prone than others due to their natural lack of hydration.

How to protect our hair and preserve its hydration?

To minimize the damage caused by these everyday factors, it is important to:

• Use products specially formulated for your hair type and free from sulfates and parabens.
• Regular trims also help eliminate split ends which can leave hair limp and lifeless.
• Incorporating deep conditioning treatments into your regimen can help restore lost hydration.
• Using a protective primer before applying heat styling tools can also help protect against drying out.

Expert advice on how to moisturize your hair.

Use hair masks regularly

Using a hydrating mask is one of the best ways to ensure your hair stays healthy and hydrated. There are many different types, so it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. However, the most common and effective masks are those that contain natural ingredients such as aloe vera, honey, avocado and olive oil, which help nourish the scalp while protecting hair from damage.

Additionally, shea butter and jojoba oil masks are especially effective, as they penetrate deeper into strands and lock in moisture for longer-lasting effects.

Ultimately, finding the right mask for you will depend on your hair type and needs. Whichever you choose, make sure that it not only moisturizes your hair, but also helps strengthen it and protect it from damage caused by environmental factors like sun exposure or styling products.

Wet your hair before taking a bath.

If you plan to take a dip in the pool, it is recommended that you wet your hair first so that it is already saturated before you enter it. Chlorine not only leads to dry hair but also affects hair color.

Use hot oil treatments.

In general, hot oil treatments are great for your hair, but you should definitely use them if you have dry hair. Hot oil treatments not only reduce the dryness of the scalp and hair, but they increase strength, reduce frizz and prevent split ends.

Give up shampoos containing sulfates.

Sulfates can potentially damage hair, stripping it of its natural moisture and proteins, leading to irritation, itching and dry skin. Fortunately, most brands today offer sulfate-free options.

Wear a hat in the summer and a beanie in the winter.

Wearing a hat or cap in the summer and winter can go a long way in keeping your hair hydrated. In summer, if the sun brings us heat, it can also have a significant effect on our hair. Exposure to the sun can dry out our strands, making them brittle and damaging them. A hat is the perfect protection against these frigid temperatures, shielding your hair from the elements and retaining moisture. The same goes for winter: cold weather usually means drier air, which can also damage brittle hair strands. Wearing a comfortable hat or cap not only looks stylish, but it helps keep your hair well hydrated despite the freezing temperatures. Plus, you won’t get cold ears anymore!

Avoid heat styling.

We all know that excessive heat styling dries out your hair, but if you can’t help it, we recommend investing in a good hairdryer and heat protectant.

Avoid silicones.

Since silicones are not water soluble, they only create the illusion of shiny, healthy hair. They actually coat your hair and need to be washed with sulfates, which, you guessed it, dries out your hair.

Reduce the number of washes.

We now know that most people (regardless of hair type) shouldn’t be washing their hair every day. Those who struggle with dry hair should really only wash it once a week, two at most.
