How to take care of your Dry Hair
Hair on the whole has a moisture content of about 10%. If your hair's moisture content drops lower than this level the key is to raise the hair's capability of draw and retain moisture. This is accomplished by means of moisturizers.
Good ones include "humectants" that not simply restore lost moisture but actually catch the attention of moisture and keep hold of it in the cortex of the hair. Essential fatty aids (EFA's) are great moisturizers. One of the top and most cost effectual essential fatty acids is safflower oil. It is the type you can buy to cook with and it is very rich in EFA's. The scalp produces the top EFA's called sebum. The problems is once the hair grows past the neck line or does not have straight contact with the scalp the scalps natural oils can not be used right through the hair shaft.
You can manually restore the lost EFA's by:
* Placing 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms and massage them together.
* There should only be enough to make your hands "shine" in the light.
* Cautiously take your hair (while dry) and "scrunch" the small amount of oil to the ENDS first and work toward the scalp.
* Leave this in your hair.
* 1-2 drops of safflower oil on dry hair is as a result small, you won't see it is there.
By doing the above as often as essential will make sure your dry hair will have the proper amount of humectants to pull towards you and retain moisture. The key is to facilitate a small amount will go a long way.
