what is a good clarifying shampoo for color treated hair, video i will be addressing 6 reasons as towhy your hair may be dry and or the first reason as to why you may have issues withyour hair being dry or brittle is because of the way that you handle your hair was aconstant manipulation that your hair goes a lot of people that doesn't make sense becauseit combing my hair or wearing my hairstyle
house is bad for my hair if you all for manipulatingyour hair is to comb your hair by continually combing it while it's wet or dry and puttingtoo much tension on your strands this leads to breakage the more your hair inappropriatelysheds the worst your hair condition get in sometimes this leads to dry here and brittlenessalso even with the styles you wear if you change your style and manipulate your hairevery single day you probably have an issue with keeping your hair moisturizing whichleads to dry and brittle hair so make sure they handling your hair is at a minimum justenough to get your style said and then to avoid over manipulating your hair with stylesjust for a couple of styles maybe a couple times a week or throughout my month my 2ndreason as to why you may be experiencing brittle
or dry hair is because of the overuse of sulfateshampoos so first of all using sulfate shampoos on african-american hair is stripping becausesulfates are a very powerful cleansing agent so the more sulfates you have on your hairmore dryer it leaves your hair after you wash so make sure that when you are using shampoosis free of sulfate and it's very cleansing on your hair in the description box belowi have a link in the description describing why sulfates shouldn’t be used on your hairand also give my suggestion with the shampoos that i personally you and shampoo that i suggestfor your hair the reason as to why your hair may be experiencing these issues is becauseis not balanced with enough moisture so across the board with african-american hair whetheryou can relax your hair or your hair is natural
you have to always make sure you have eitherenough protein in your hair for you are lacking that or enough moisture in your hair but thebiggest thing with natural hair is making sure it stays moisturized while the biggestissue with relaxed hair is make sure there's enough so to to test whether or not my hairhas enough protein or moisture in it is to test your hair while its is wet and productfree while your hair is wet and product free simply run your hands along your hair andalso comb your hair as well if your hair seems to feel extremely springy and it snaps orit easily breaks you have to much protein in your hair you want to incorporate moremoisture also if you combing your hair receives the stretch way longer than what is supposedto and often snaps of feel very limp or gummy
then you probably have too much moisture inyour hair and you want to incorporate protein so also in the description box below i havea link to how to black hair website and i talk about what you want to use to make sureyou balance your moisture and protein with your my 4th reason as to why your hair maybe dry or brittle is because is in constant contact with moisture absorbents so just thinkabout the things that you put on your hair what you lay your head one when you go tobed with you wear a hat or scarf or any type of materials on your head you really wantto make sure they stay away from cotton and wool because they are very absorbent materialsnow its fine to use a cotton towel when you are drying your hair you don't want to wherethese materials on your hair all day or every
so make sure when you go to bed to protectyour hair from becoming dry and brittle by either using a silk pillowcase with your pillowor wearing a silk scarf to protect your hair also if you have a favorite wool hat or cottonhat line your hat with some form of material that won’t absorb moisture from your hairso the 5th reason as to why you may be experiencing issues with your hair is because the endsof your hair are naturally more porous this simply means that the ends of your hair arethe oldest which makes it harder for it to hold them moisture hair gains leads in asyou go down more towards hair strands you start to lose more scales that is on the outsideof your hair shaft the scales that are on the outside of your hair close to constrictto keep them moisture in it opens to release
moisture so as your hair becomes older especiallythe very and he doesn't have any scales to keep moisture inside of your hair so evenwhen you wet it sometimes it seems to just get dry that's why it's very important thatwhen your hair is wet you use some type of oil to keep the moisture trapped in to helpyour hair remain moisturized so this very thing is something that you can fix it andif you tried everything maybe your hair is naturally on a little bit of the dry sideso my final and last reason number 6 is why you may have dry and brittle hair is becauseyou need to cut trim or dust those ends so make sure that you keep on top of this whenit's necessary your have to cut your hair every 3 weeks 4 weeks or 8 weeks you justwant to look at your hair and be able to see
where damage is if you notice that you havea lot of single-strand knots at the ends of your hair or you notice a lot of split endsthen is probably time to cut those ends off and you don't have to go drastic you can simplytwist each section of your hair and small sections and user scissors to snipped thosevery small frayed ends this will help your hair a lot from feeling dry and brittle some personally when i went natural i was natural for about 2 years before i even cut my hairand my hair was at the same way for a long time and i'll have a few stringy strands thatstuck up for my hair because i wasn't trimming my hair every day my hair felt dry and brittleno matter how many moisture treatment or protein treatments i did but as soon as i cut my hairmy hair was perfect it beautiful and actually
