Dry hair? What to do…

Jojoba might be the answer if you’re hair’s just too dry.  With moisture-dry hair the problem could originate anywhere from a hormonal fluctuation, smoking, excessive hair-washing with harsh shampoos, to just not getting enough essential fatty acids (Your omega 3, 6 and 9).  These fats trap water to your hair and skin.  With appropriate dietary and lifestyle changes, you could do a lot to alleviate this problem.

 

However – while you’re waiting for the new healthy you to make your hair better – there’s also our trusty friend Jojoba (pronounced: Ho-Ho-Bah)

 

Jojoba is not an oil – it’s a natural plant wax that VERY effectively mimics our own sebum and moisturises beautifully (while also being anti-microbial).  Add a few drops to your conditioner before applying and boost the moisture in your hair.  One to two drops added to your styling aid will hugely increase smoothness, elasticity and shine.  You’ll find jojoba in any health store that stocks essential oils – and it’s also included in many professional products – like FHI Hotsauce heat protector.

 

Ask your stylist about cold-pressed oil treatments – like jojoba – that greatly improves the hairs elasticity and shine.  It’s also a wonderful treat for hair the week before a tint: the hair is in the best condition to receive colour and is more resilient to chemical processes.
