Jakarta - Healthy, smooth, and thick hair is certainly everyone's dream. However, when the hair feels dry when touched, it will also be brittle and difficult to style. If the hair looks bad, of course the mood can also be affected.

Having dry hair does not mean you have a health problem or something is wrong with your hair. Some factors such as exposure to the sun, hair styling using heat, humid temperatures, smoking, and more can cause damaged and dry hair.

Even so, you don't have to worry because there are several ways to overcome it. The bonus is that this is a home-based way that doesn't require expensive costs like salon treatments.

Citing information from the Healthline website, Friday, January 30, the following VOI summarizes five treatments for dry and puffy hair that you can do at home:

Hair Clippers

If your hair is too dry, it may need to be re-arranged in a new cut. This is because the split ends can make the hair difficult to manage and make it feel dry or rough.

You can go to the salon to get the desired cut. If you want to minimize costs, you can also cut yourself with a guide from videos on the internet.

Avoid Washing Your Hair Every Day

Shampoo removes dirt and sweat from the hair, but also removes sebum (natural oil) on the hair. The function of sebum is to make the hair easier to care for and if the amount is right, it can make the hair shine.

Too often shampooing causes hair to lose sebum so it looks dry. It is recommended to shampoo at least every two days. If you can't skip a day without shampooing, it's better to use a special shampoo for dry hair or you can try baby products.

Dry Your Hair With a Cloth

If your hair is brittle and difficult to style after shampooing, it could be because you're losing too much moisture during the drying process.

Try wrapping your hair with a cloth or towel after shampooing instead of using a hair dryer as a dryer.

Shower with Cold Water

Hot water for bathing can also make hair hot. Cold water bathing has several health benefits, one of which is making hair grow faster.

After shampooing, rinse your hair under cooler water for one or two minutes to revitalize your hair strands and refresh your scalp.

Use Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that fills the gaps in the hair strands if they have been damaged by heat or the sun. Using coconut oil on the hair regularly can improve the overall appearance of the hair.

How to use it is to rub a little coconut oil between the palms of your hands before applying it. After that, apply and focus on the ends, crown of the head, and the roots of the hair.
