Dry Hair Help: Healthy Hair Tips

Dry Hair Help: Healthy Hair Tips

In need of dry hair help? Today’s reader wants’ to know how to make her hair healthy, and Ask the Pro Stylist as a few tips on the road to hydrated, shiny hair.

Whoop, whoop, it’s HUMP DAY, and time for another beauty Q&A with Ask the Pro Stylist. This week, Lynn is in need of dry hair help.

My hair is very dry…what can I do to make it healthy.

Lynn found me on Bellashoot, a social networking site devoted to all things beauty. For her quest of dry hair help I advised the reader to get frequent trims, about every 6-8 weeks. The hair will still grow, but take off any breakage leading to excess split ends and further damage. Avoid washing the hair every day and deep condition once a week. Also, avoid hot tools as much as possible and only use professional hair care products such as shampoo and conditioner along with a leave-in treatment and a shine/gloss to condition daily and coat the cuticle. I’d also suggest a glaze like PM Shines that adds soy protein, which strengthens the hair and provides an intense shine.

Additionally, healthy hair begins from the inside out. A nutritious diet of avocado, lean protein, and tomato, among other vitamin-rich foods and whole grains, along with at least 8, 8-ounce glasses of water a day leads to healthy skin and hair. We always need to hydrate from the inside out because our skin and hair are an output of what we ingest.
