What causes dry hair?
Before we dive into solutions, we should understand factors that can cause your dry hair. Here is some top causes, divide into internal factors and external factors:
Internal factors: The more we age, the less natural oil produced from the scalp. As they don’t have enough oil, in order to stay hydrated they have to take from the roots under your skin. That means when your scalp is dry, your hair will dry too. On the other hand, your hormones and your hair go hand in hand. That’s why hormone issues could cause dry hair.
External factors: Other causes of hair dryness include environment, such as exposure to dry hair, wind, sun or harsh weather can take the moisture from the hair. Combining it with a bad hair routine can make the situation worse: overuse heat styling tools, overwashing, and frequently wear tight hairstyles.
