Understanding conditioner for dry and frizzy hair
Fine or thick, curly or straight, virgin or over-processed hair, there is no one with any hair type who has not experienced brittle, coarse hair.
We all have had good hair days when we come out of the salon or when we run a hair straightener through our hair but as soon as the day ends and the effect dissipates, we are all left with the horrible feeling of frizzy lifeless hair that is extremely dry to touch.
What causes Frizzy hair?
Our hair consists of three layers. The outer layer is made up of microscopic scales that lie flat and tight enclosing the other two layers. It is only because of the presence of this layer our hair appears smooth and shiny. Any disruption in this layer due to any cause can expose the inner layers of the hair, making it look dull and lifeless. Here are some factors that contribute to the partial disintegration of this layer.
The oils produced by the scalp makes protect our hair from friction, keeping it moisturized, thus preventing dryness. The lack of oil from the scalp could be due to many reasons, are also being a major factor as the production of those natural oils become less frequent.
There are also environmental factors like prolonged exposure to sun and wind, humid weather, and frequent subjection of your hair to chlorinated or salty water during swimming, that affect the health of our cuticles. The moisture in the environment breaks the upper layer of hair, and the moisture is then absorbed by the inner layers making it dry and puffy.
There are various underlying health problems that can cause dry hair. The lack of nutrients in our daily diet can also be detrimental to healthy hair, even causing hair fall.
How does conditioner help in making hair smooth?
You always apply your slippery sweet-smelling conditioner after washing your hair, but have you ever wondered how exactly it turns your clumped frizzy hair into a stockpile of silkiness, in just a few minutes?
There is some science involved in understanding this chemical romance. The outer layer of our hair is made up of flakes that combine to form cuticles. These flakes are tightly bound in shiny hair, the cuticle reflects off light making the hair look glossy and smooth. The cuticle layer over time gets worn out making the hair look frizzy like frayed rope.
