How To Recover Dullness Hair: Causes and Tips To Follow

A Dullness Hair reflects improper hair care routine and nutrient deficiency from your body. It affects your appearance and requires healthy hair improvements.

What does Dullness Hair look like?

Hair dullness is often described as a lack of moisture and non-glossy condition. Referring to the overall look, a dull hair brings a lifeless, rough and frizzy texture. In short, dull hair indicates a heavy-looking and flexible missing hair.

Why is my hair so dull and lifeless?

The root cause of dullness hair condition is moisture lacking and dryness of the scalp. Which also causes tangles, brittleness, breakage, and split ends. In the article below, Jen Hair will help you find out the reasons and learn how to restore shiny smooth hair.

Lack of hydrations and moist

There are a variety of reasons why your hair is not provided enough moisture and hydration. Which includes external and internal factors such as:

• Dry weather: long exposure to sunny and low-humidity environments makes hair become more fragile and cause moisture loss. Also, direct sunlight and dusty winds can weaken hair structure and cause dull, brittle conditions.
• Not using conditioners: many people are misunderstanding that using conditioners leads to greasy and oily hair scalp. In fact, conditioners are only applied to the hair shaft and not related to the oil production at all. On the contrary, not including conditioners in the hair care routine can worsen dull and breakage hair issues due to serious hydration loss.

Improper washing routine for dullness hair

You might enjoy fresh and clean hair after shampooing. However, over hair washing can strip the natural oil from the scalp. Which is the barrier to protect luster and radiant hair. This practice will finally leave your hair drier and rougher.

Over exposure to chemicals

Another reason leading to a lifeless and dullness hair is chemical overload. If your hair has been directly exposed to chemicals such as chlorine in a swimming pool, or styling processes like coloring, perming, relaxing, etc., it is possible for your hair to lose its natural luster and easily get tangled as harsh chemicals can break down hair cuticles.

Chemical styling methods could bring instant results to your hair. However, to maintain a chemically treated hair, we need more time and effort to follow a strict hair routine, which requires a lot of patience.

Frequent high heat-styling

Similar to chemical overload, regular hair styling processes with high heat settings cause harm to hair structure as high temperature can destroy hair cuticles, leading to damage and weakening of the hair strands.

Insufficient hair nutrients

Healthy body equals healthy hair. Dullness hair sometimes indicate your body is not provided enough necessary nutrients such as protein, zinc, calcium, vitamins, etc. In this case, the “you are what you eat” sentence is approriate.

Tips to repair dullness hair into shine and smooth

Hair sprays can be used as an urgent solution if you need to restore hair radiance immediately. Consider a light-weight, non-greasing product to improve your hair look.

Regular hair trimming

Opting for regular haircuts brings a lot of benefits for your hair health: removing split ends, promoting hair growth and reducing frizziness.Thus can enhance your appearance out of dull and lifeless hair looking.

Provide efficient hair nourishment

Once your dullness hair is damaged, start repairing it by feeding essential ingredients in hair oil or hair serum. Unlike shampoo and conditions, hair oil and serum allows deeper absorption to the hair scalp. Which helps strengthen hair roots and prevent hair shafts from breaking and being dull.

Try applying hair oil for dry scalp and hair serum for oily scalp, gently massaging and then rinsing it thoroughly with mild shampoo, you can observe positive change in your hair after a few weeks.

Adjust hair wash routine

As mentioned above, over washing your hair negatively affects the natural barrier of the scalp and causes it to be more sensitive. Try to stretch out your hair washing day, ideally 3-4 times a week. Only shampooing when your hair needs it. If your hair feels oily and greasy, try a dry shampoo instead until your hair gets used to the new washing routine.

Restrict heat styling

Reduce heat styling tools (blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners) as much as you can. Better let your hair air-dry naturally after washing. If in any case you must go through heat styling, remember to apply hair protection such as hair serum to separate your hair from heat damage. Sometimes taking a weekly break from hair styling is also a good approach to lessen hair damage and give your dullness hair enough time to recover.

Limit chemical hair processing

The same practice should be opted for hair chemical treatment, too much relaxing, perming or dying can leave your hair super dry and breakage. The chemical absorption through the scalp for a long duration will harm your hair eventually. Try to limit them to at least once or twice a year unless you want all moisture to escape from your hair.

Healthy diet

A healthy and balanced eating habit promotes hair strength and shine. What you eat reflects on your locks appearance. Some nutrients for a healthy hair such as protein can be found in fish, chicken. And eggs or essential fatty acids are in salmon, soybeans and chia seeds. Maintaining an adequate diet prevents hair dullness and loss, as well as fastening hair growth.
