How to bring dry hair back to life?

If you are asked what troubles you the most in the process of using a wig, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Hair often becomes very dry and the curls are lost...? Please don't worry, you are not alone, many of us have the problems, in fact, it is normal for wigs to have these problems, and we can also avoid them by taking some measures, let us talk about how to bring dry hair back to life first.

Why does my hair become dry?

Dry hair can be caused by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include things like the weather, how often you wash your hair, the hair products you often use, style tools you use, or chemical styling and dyeing. While internal factors include the foods you eat, any medications you may be on, hormonal imbalances, and even genetics.

How to bring dry hair back to life?

In many cases, you can fix your dry hair through simple home remedies. Here are a few home remedies you can try:

1. Wash Your Hair Less Often

There is no reason you need to wash your hair every day unless you overdid it on the styling products the day before, sweat a lot or both. After all, over-washing will strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils, thus leading to dryness and damage.

To make up for the dryness of your scalp, it is best for you to wash your hair two to three times a week for a healthy balance of clean and moisturized hair and scalp.

If you can’t go a day in between washing, it is a good option for you to use a shampoo specifically for dry hair or even try baby shampoo. Both are mildly cleansing without stripping hair completely of its natural oil.

But dry shampoos also have their limits. For example, overusing dry shampoo can cause buildup which will lead to further problems than just dry hair.

2. Use Right Hair Care Products

If you’re scratching your head on how to moisturize dry hair, it’s very essential to look at the products you’re using on hair wash days.

Conditioner is essential for you to fix dry hair, especially in the colder months. That is because a moisturizing conditioner can keep hair cuticles lying flat so they hold in natural oils. You don’t need to lather your whole head with conditioner and instead focus conditioner from the mid-shaft to your ends, where you need it most.

Of course, using a mild shampoo all over your head and hair also works well, but don’t overdo it. Besides, don't forget to read the labels of your products like shampoos and conditioners carefully. Look for products that suit the specific needs of your hair and look for shampoos that are paraben-free, do not contain alcohol, and are sulfate-free. Finally, be sure to rinse all products out thoroughly too.

3. Get A Trim

Even if your hair isn’t very long, split ends can make hair hard to style and contribute to it feeling dry or coarse. Thus, if your hair is too dry, you might need to visit your stylist and trim off the hair that’s unhealthy and weighing down fresh hair growth.

4. Take Vitamins

As we all know, iron, vitamin D, folate, vitamin B12, and selenium can help keep your hair healthy.

It’s also popular at the moment to take supplements that contain only biotin to make your hair look better. It means you can increase the number of marine proteins in your diet. For instance, salmon, oysters mackerel, tuna, and sardines are all rich in peptides and omega-3s, which can make your hair shinier.

You might also consider eating more foods that are rich in antioxidants to combat oxidative stress, including walnuts, kidney beans, blueberries, broccoli, tomatoes, etc.

5. Reduce The Use Of Heat Styling Tools

Using heated styling tools such as straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can zap the moisture out of your hair and not to mention lead to heat damage.

Therefore, we recommend going heat-free when it comes to drying, styling, and stretching your hair, or using a blow dryer on the cool setting. And if you’re going to blow dry your hair, please keep the dryer at least 6 inches away from your hair for best results.

More importantly, on days you do pick up that blow-dryer or iron, remember to apply some heat protectant to your hair beforehand as potholders for your strands.

Another good way to protect your natural hair from heat damage, especially if you have dry hair is to use human hair weaves or human hair wigs instead.

So what we need to pay attention to is that if the wig encounters drying problems, the problem can be solved, so please don't worry and panic, you must take corresponding measures to solve this problem.

Choosing real human hair will also be a very important way to avoid wig drying. There is also a wide range of options for real human hair wigs, such as closure wigs, lace front wigs, headband wigs and etc
