Q Since years my hair has become increasingly dry. Ive tried every type of shampoo and conditioner, from cheap to expensive, including deep conditioners and hot oil. I eat healthily and never blow-dry my hair, so whats going on?
Hi. Your hair can get dry because your scalp is not making enough oil to moisturize your hair, or your hair lets moisture escape. Age and menopause cause changes in the hormones in the body which may lead to dry hair or even hair loss. The environment also plays a significant role in damaging hair due to sunrays, pollution, dust etc. Here are some of the tips for you - Wash your hair less often. Use hair products that don~t have alcohol because it is drying. Massage jojoba oil or coconut oil into your scalp to replenish moisture. A healthy diet consisting of nuts, dairy, eggs, fish, fruit and vegetables is essential for healthy hair growth. You must also check your thyroid levels an undergo a pelvic ultrasound since hypothyroidism and PCOD can also lead to dry hair.
