Why did the hair become dry?
Dry hair is one of the first problems that women face. Fighting it is difficult. Usually, if the hair has become dry, then it is likely that they will break down, be cut off.
Very often women do not understand what caused such a sudden change in the structure of the hair. On the forums you can read about the genetics, the climate and some other factors that are only to blame, which have only an indirect relation to the health of the hair.
In fact, the hair becomes dry, only when they lack moisture. If the hair is not moist enough, it starts to break.
So where does the moisture from the hair go? There are two options:
- It does not act on it
- It evaporates
In the first case, the problem lies most often in the power supply. If a woman or girl consumes little water( water, not drinks), if she eats a little fruit and vegetables, if she does not consume enough protein, fat and carbohydrates, her hair becomes dry.
- Water nourishes the hair, without water there can not exist any organ, hair including
- Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins and minerals that also nourish the hair, making them elastic and elastic
- Protein is the main building tool of cells. All that we have, we have thanks to the squirrel. If the diet of a person's protein is not enough, the body begins to deteriorate, as there are no resources to conduct any restoration work. The first to be destroyed are not vital parts, for example, hair
- Fats in the human diet are necessary. Without fat, normal metabolism is impossible. Fats are responsible for the dryness of the hair. If the diet is not enough fats - the hair becomes lifeless, cease to grow well, break, sliced
In the second case, when moisture literally evaporates from the hair, fault is wrong. What is the wrong hair care? These are the procedures that women and girls are accustomed to exposing their hair almost daily:
- Drying with a hairdryer
- Straightening with an iron
- Frequent staining
- Wrong shampoo
- Irregular hair cutting
- Incorrectly selected hairbrush
All these factors have a very negative effect on the hair condition. As a result, the hair loses its protective shell and is simply not able to retain moisture. In this case, the condition of the hair inevitably deteriorates. If you do not take measures in time, you can lose beautiful and healthy hair for many years.
