Say Goodbye To Dry!
Many of us are familiar with common winter dryness, especially this time of year. When people refer to this dryness, they usually think about their skin, but there is another type of dryness that affects people, and it may surprise you to know where …
YOUR HAIR!
In fact, dry hair is something that can be extremely debilitating to both your physical appearance and your mental health. Dry hair can affect you in many different ways and for many different reasons, affecting both women and men regardless of how old they are, making it a problem that can affect you well past winter and into spring. (1)
Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about dry hair anymore, because there are new guidelines and all-natural products that can not only restore the natural radiance and glow of your hair, but make you runway ready all winter long!
In this blog we talk about what dry hair is, what causes it, and how to enjoy HEALTHY and STRONG HAIR all year long!
A DIRE DRYER PROBLEM
The simplest way to define dry hair? It's hair that lacks the liquid necessary to keep its awesome glow and feel, which you probably already know if you're suffering from dry hair or have suffered from it in the past. This lack of liquid can be from oil or other means of moisture your hair desperately needs.
Now you probably don’t have to be reminded of this, but winter can very easily cause your hair to feel dry. There are also some other surprising causes of dry hair, such as not eating right (which can also affect your overall health), and using volatile over-the-counter products with alcohol in it, and soaps with chemicals and dangerous ingredients. (2)
The reason dry hair can be a serious problem is because hair has a real hard time of maintaining moisture on its own. It’s also something that needs to be taken care of daily, which means having a moisturizing hair care routine that can boost your hair health and nurture your individual strands each day. (3)
QUICK TIP: Hair that’s healthy should be radiant, smooth, and feel awesome! If it's not, there's something wrong, and you should seriously rethink your winter hair care routine. (4)
One of the most harmful things for your hair is the general environment of winter. This includes wind, cold air, and even the indoor heating the others cause you to turn up. With this colder weather, you might also be tempted to increase heat directed towards your hair with styling tools - NOT a good idea! (5)
Winter already makes your hair sensitive - so much so that adding more heat can cause your hair to break, hurting your hair’s ability to attain and maintain its natural glow and strength. As a quick tip, opt for natural air instead of blow dryers, which can help your hair achieve a healthy shine. (5)
It’s also important to distinguish dry hair from dry scalp. Achieving healthy, radiant hair is super important because allowing the weather to cause your hair to go dry can leave you with a scalp that’s flaking and dry. To enjoy stronger hair and a healthier scalp, you need to look for ways to moisturize and nourish your hair each day. (6)

HEALTHY HAIR THIS WINTER
To know how to achieve healthy hair, you need to know more about your hair. One important thing to know about your hair is that each strand of it has something you’ve probably heard of before – a cuticle. Your cuticle is not just something to show off – it’s actually super important, responsible for protecting your hair, especially from the environment.
In healthy cuticles, moisture levels are maintained because hair is tightly-knit together. Once your cuticles begin to split from your hair, though, your hair can suffer from moisture loss and less oil, causing unhealthy and dull hair. (7)
Dry hair can also cause unwanted frizzing that can make you question what exactly is wrong with your hair in the first place. This can make it even more difficult to find out when your hair breaks, and makes it difficult to manipulate and set. A major cause of this is overdrying with harsh ingredients. (8)
QUICK TIP: When nourishing your hair, it’s best to massage it. Be gentle on your hair, and take care of it like you should the rest of yourself - with love!(9)
If you’re thinking all-natural moisture is only important now that the weather is cold, think again. Once the weather warms up, other factors can lead to hair dryness, such as the sun and natural heat. UV, in particular, can severely damage hair, drawing out your natural moisture and leaving your hair damaged.
Environmental factors of hair damage can also linger. In fact, weather-related hair dryness can hurt you over time, making it that much more important you’re nourishing your hair with the right 100% all-natural hair care products! (10)
The ingredients in your hair care products are also essential in achieving healthy hair. Rather than using products where chemicals are literally lathered all over your sensitive hair, you should choose products that help balance your all-important pH, as well as your microbiome, which can help your scalp.
