Having dry hair certainly makes it look less attractive. Dry hair also tends to be brittle and hard to arrange. Now, for the moisture and beauty of your hair to come back, let's look at various ways to deal with easy dry hair without the need to go to the salon.
An easy and natural way to deal with dry hair
Having trouble with dry hair? Don't worry, let's try the following natural ways to restore moisture.
1. Using a hair mask
Have you ever tried a hair mask? If not, it seems you need to start trying it. Because the mask can help restore moisture to the hair. Quoted from Livestrong, a mixture of yogurt and olive oil can help repair dry, brittle and damaged hair.
How to make it very easy, you only need to mix 1/2 cup of plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the mixture evenly before applying it to each strand of your hair.
Before applying it, wet your hair first so that this mixture can absorb perfectly. After that, cover the masked hair with a warm towel or shower cap. Then, let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before you rinse it with warm water.
For maximum results, repeat two to three times a week. You can also create masks with other ingredients such as mixing avocado, honey and olive oil.
2. Eating Omega 3 and antioxidants
Omega 3 helps restore the natural luster of hair that is lost due to being too dry. While antioxidants help fight oxidative stress which makes hair look more dull. For that, in order to get a combination of benefits from both you can consume a variety of foods that are rich in both substances.
Omega 3 can be obtained from mackerel, sardines, tuna and salmon. While antioxidants can be obtained from kidney beans, broccoli, tomatoes, and walnuts.
3. Apply coconut oil
Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that is able to fill the gap in each strand of hair when it is damaged by the sun which causes dryness. A 2005 study showed the fact that coconut oil is very good for penetrating hair fibers.
That way, this one oil can soften back the strands of hair that has dried. You can treat your hair by applying warm coconut oil to your hair every week.
Apply coconut oil to the hair from the root to the tip. Then massage the head slowly so that more oil seeps into the strands of hair and scalp. After that, let stand for 20 minutes before rinsing with clean water and shampoo.
