Why Does My Hair Feel Dry?

If your hair is feeling dried out and brittle, there could be a variety of reasons and factors at play. First, it’s important to consider your environment. Temperature and climate play a large role in how our hair thrives or suffers. For example, winter temperatures can be damaging to hair due to the harsh cold and winds. On the other hand, prolonged sun exposure can also dry out and damage your hair. Aside from climate, here are some other reasons why your hair isn’t feeling hydrated and strong: 

• You’re using products that are drying or not appropriate for your hair type. 
• You use too much heat on your hair. 
• Your climate is dry and cold. 
• You don’t apply heat protectants to your hair. 
• You’re experiencing nutritional deficiencies. 
• Your hair is getting too much sun. 
• You’re washing your hair too much. 
• You’re not using professional hair care products.
