What is dry hair?
Dry hair develops when your hair doesn’t get or retain enough moisture. This reduces its sheen and can make it appear frizzy and dull.
Dry hair can affect men and women of any age, but you’re more likely to develop it as you get older.
Your hair consists of three layers. If your hair is healthy, natural oils in the outer layer help protect the inner layers. They also reflect light, making your hair appear shiny. Sheen and luster are two important signs of healthy hair.
When your hair is dry, the outer layer breaks down, causing it to appear dull and unhealthy.
Causes of dry hair
A variety of factors can lead to dry hair, including environmental conditions, hair care habits, and your physical health.
Some of the environmental conditions that can cause dry hair include:
living in a dry, hot climate
spending a lot of time in the sun or wind
frequently swimming in chlorinated or salty water
