what does damaged hair look like

Hair is a crown we wear proudly over our head, however, as we all know, hair is a fragile and sensual crown. Despite this, many of us are not mindful of how we treat our hair. Frequent washing and the accumulation of sweat and oil on our heads makes the hair look dull and dry. We go under the assumption that a dry scalp is a worse scenario, and so we keep throwing salt water on it. But this only makes the hair look worse; it also strips off its natural oils, which leaves the hair unprotected and more likely to suffer damage.

Let’s take a closer look at how hair truly behaves, especially when faced with the excessive use and overwashing of regular shampoo and conditioner.

Water Retention

We all shower before dates, meetings, events, or even regular outings with our friends to ensure our hair is dripping wet. Frequent showers also prove that we care about our hair. But what happens when the shower is over and we need to wait a couple of minutes before continuing with our day? Frequent washing can cause our hair to become less elastic, which means it will wrinkle and sag.

The solution to this is to simply avoid washing our hair so often. If we are not used to washing our hair frequently, then every other day or once a month might be sufficient. Avoid using a lot of conditioner, which can cause hair breakage or a flat surface. Dry your hair as much as possible after showering, and don’t rub your wet hair with a towel; instead, let the towel rest on the surface of your hair. This helps retain the moisture and prevents your hair from looking flat.

Friction

Friction is always a possibility when you wash your hair. The scalp is naturally rough and tangled, and when you wash it, all of this tangling makes the hair look dull. You can easily correct this by using a wide-tooth comb and brushing your hair from the roots to the ends. A wide-tooth comb can help untangle your locks and give your hair the bounce it deserves.

Brushing your hair can also help reduce frizziness. When you brush your hair from side to side, you are stimulating the nerve endings in your scalp, causing them to send more signals to your brain. This encourages your brain to produce more proteins, which makes your hair look shinier and healthier.

If you want to make your hair shinier and healthier, then take the time to brush and tame your locks. Use a wide-tooth comb to untangle your locks, as well as some of your hair’s natural oils, and you will certainly see an improvement in your hair’s appearance.

Swelling

A lot of hair damage can be attributed to overuse. When we wash our hair every day, especially if we use a lot of conditioner, our hair can end up looking dull because the water has no place to go. This leaves the hair swelled, which can cause breakage. You can easily prevent this by applying a couple of drops of essential oils (e.g., tea tree oil) to the scalp before shampooing or conditioning. This will help create a better environment for your hair to grow and make your hair look healthier and greener.

The environment around our hair is largely composed of water. Therefore, a lot of our hair damage can be prevented by simply avoiding washing or drying our hair too often. Also, if you want to make your hair healthier and greener, then take the time to comb and brush your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently untangle your locks, and then use some of your hair’s natural oils to shine and de-frizz your hair.

Oil Retention

The last thing we want is our hair to look oily. We see oily hair and think that it must be dirty, when in fact, it could be perfectly clean. Oil retention is all about the application of science to our chaotic hair. When we wash our hair, we strip off all of the oils that are naturally retained in our scalp and hair. This is mostly due to the fact that water and oil do not mix. So if we want our hair to look neat and clean, we need to make sure that the oil is wiped off from our hair. We can do this by applying a couple of drops of essential oils (e.g., tea tree oil) to our scalp, before shampooing or conditioning. This will help keep the oil in your hair, and it will help eliminate any excess oil that may have slipped down your shirt.

Dry Skin

Just like our hair, our skin can end up looking dull and dry. We use moisturizer and oil cleanser on our face to retain moisture and oil, but sometimes we need to add more water to our face in order to avoid a dull complexion. Applying a couple of drops of essential oils (e.g., tea tree oil) to your face before shampooing will help prevent your hair and skin from looking dull. Moreover, it will add a bit more bounce and movement to your hair and make your hair look healthier and greener.

Health Benefits Of Organic Materials

Organic materials are great for our hair and skin because they contain more nutrients. The chemicals used in the manufacturing process strip off all of the nutrients from our hair and skin. Using natural oils and unprocessed fruit acids makes your hair and skin healthier and shinier, as well as more vibrant. All of this comes from nutrients that are naturally present in our organic material.

If you want to incorporate more natural and organic molecules into your skin and hair, then using products that contain these molecules is a great way to go. Some of these molecules are deeply rooted in convention and have been used for centuries.

Saltwater

Since saltwater is an important component of our hair and skin, it can damage our hair and skin if we use it too often. The best way to avoid damage from saltwater is to use a water-absorbing serum on your face before you shower. This helps your hair absorb the moisture and prevents your hair and scalp from absorbing too much water, which means your hair will end up looking limp and greasy. A good rule of thumb is to use a water-absorbing serum every other day, but be sure to wash your face immediately after using the product. Using a water-absorbing serum will help prevent the following issues: limp locks, greasy hair, and dry skin. If you want your hair to look richer, then use a water-absorbing serum once a week or once every other week.

What About Conditioner?

We tend to think that conditioner is the key to healthy hair, but this is far from true. Conditioner only helps to remove the excess oils and dirt that are on our hair. Washing our hair with conditioner will not make our hair look healthier and greener. We need to wash our hair carefully and ensure all of the dirt and oil is gone before we apply the conditioner. Conditioner will not give our hair extra bounce and movement, or prevent breakage. Applying too much conditioner can even make our hair look limp.

Using Your Hair’s Natural Oil

We all shower before dates, meetings, events, or even regular outings with our friends to ensure our hair is dripping wet. Frequent washing and the accumulation of sweat and oil on our heads makes the hair look dull and dry. We go under the assumption that a dry scalp is a worse scenario, and so we keep throwing salt water on it.
