Dry Hair Treatment | Best Treatment for Dry Hair

What is Dry Hair:

Dry hair is a common problem both men and women. This problem occurs due to loss of moisture and oil from your hair follicles. When oil and moisture escapes your hair, it becomes dry and lacks the sheen and soft texture you desire. The moisture level of the body should be 80% for the hair to be in good condition.

When the hair is in good condition with good porosity the cuticle layer holds the hair tight and the hair does not look dry. But, when the hair is in a bad condition with bad porosity the cuticle layer loosens the hair and the hair looks dry. If the body’s moisture level is good the hair does not become dry. Our hair needs a lot of oils for it to remain in good condition.
