Means for dry hair: types and rating of brands

A wide variety of factors can affect the poor condition of the hair, including their frequent dyeing, various malfunctions in the body, weather conditions, as well as improperly selected hair care products and various styling techniques. All of the above often leads to the formation of dry, brittle and lifeless curls, which are very difficult to cope with.

Today, you can "revive" the former beauty of hair and bring it back to life using special products for dry hair. We will find out what features and types they have in this article, and also consider the rating of brands.

The main thing that owners of dry hair need to know is that they should select exclusively moisturizing products for the care of their hair with the most natural composition. In addition, such funds should nourish the curls well and have special components that protect the curls from damage in the future.

It is desirable that, in addition to vitamins, minerals and amino acids, the following components are present in the composition:

• biotin, panthenol and glycine - all these components help smooth out damaged hair, contributing to their accelerated recovery;
• proteins - these components in the composition of the funds are aimed at smoothing damaged hair scales; special attention should be paid to products with healthy wheat and milk proteins, as they can become a real salvation for very dry hair;
• oils (essential and base) - they perfectly fight dry hair, brittle ends, and also restore curls at their cellular level;
• extracts of useful herbs and plants - the most useful are the extracts of chamomile, calendula, aloe and some others, which perfectly nourish the hair, making it soft and silky;
• hyaluronic acid - a well-known component that not only moisturizes the curls and epidermis, but also returns the curls to their former shine.

When parsing a composition, for example, a shampoo with balm, you should pay attention to how the components are located in it, since they are located from the very beginning in descending order. Therefore, if you see useful proteins at the very end of the list of remedies, it means that they are practically not there.

Important! Before you start choosing a series of products for the care of dry and dull hair, it is highly recommended to find out the reason why it has become this way. Of course, with frequent staining, everything is clear, but sometimes the reasons are deeper, for example, hormonal failure or vitamin deficiency. And this problem cannot be solved with shampoos alone, because the treatment will have to be carried out from the inside. Sometimes a visit to a trichologist is irreplaceable.

Today, many foreign and domestic brands produce a variety of products aimed at combating dry and brittle hair. Let's consider them in more detail.

The main task of shampoos is to cleanse the scalp and curls, although on the jars you can find a lot of additions that the shampoo nourishes, smoothes and saturates the hair with everything you need - in general, 5 in 1, or even 10 in 1. This is often just a commercial move. Most of these products are aimed at exceptional cleansing, so you should not expect a "wow" effect from them, shampoos do not give any moisturizing and nourishing effect without using additional products like conditioners and balms.

Such funds are aimed at "taming" even the most obstinate hair. They make sure that the hair is smooth, manageable and shiny. As a rule, balms are applied immediately after rinsing off the shampoo.

Air conditioners come in many different types today. Moisturizing and nourishing options are perhaps some of the most relevant. There are also two-phase remedies. Conditioners are not much different from balms, since their function is the same - to put the hair in order after using shampoo, smooth it, fill in the voids, restore its former elasticity, strength and radiance.

Oils are the best remedies for hair breakage. You can use them in their pure form or buy special formulations. Usually oils are applied to washed hair - sometimes dry, sometimes damp.

Hair masks are often aimed at their cellular restoration and transformation of the overall appearance. Such products are not designed for daily use, usually masks are applied several times a week, and sometimes less often. They perfectly fight brittle curls and ends, and can also be used as sos-products that instantly restore hair.

Hair sprays perfectly moisturize, giving shine and shine to curls, externally can make hair more voluminous. Such effective products are aimed at making hair detangling and styling easier. Sprays are often leave-in.

In such products, there is usually a special composition enriched with useful components. Hair restoration serums are not used constantly, like masks, they are used in courses. Serums are suitable for fine and weak hair, they ideally nourish hair and relieve dryness.They are suitable for natural curls and dyed ones, and they are often used by blondes to care for bleached curls.

Pharmacy herbs are great for moisturizing dry hair. Decoctions and infusions are often made of them, which have a beneficial effect not only on the appearance of the hair, but also on its growth. Especially popular are the collections of chamomile, mint, St. John's wort, calendula and some others.

Consider professional brands and mass-market products that are suitable for dry hair.

• Kapous Professional. This brand offers professional and home cosmetics for weakened and lifeless hair. The range includes everything from moisturizing shampoos at attractive prices to weightless fluids for the hair ends.

• Moroccanoil. An Israeli brand that produces hair cosmetics based on argan oil. This brand has excellent shampoos and conditioners for damaged hair.

• Lee Stafford. This brand has excellent moisturizers for a wide variety of hair types, including bleached, dry and damaged hair.

• Keune. A professional brand dedicated to dealing with a wide variety of hair needs. The range includes lines for straight and curly hair prone to dryness. And also from the brand you can find excellent means for restoring curls after dyeing.

• A very popular Japanese brand is considered Lebel, in the range of which you can find the most luxurious care products for damaged hair. Prices "bite", but the effect is not worse than in the salon.

When choosing care for dry hair, it is better to give preference to one company. In any case, professionals recommend purchasing shampoo and balm (conditioner) from the same brand and from the same series. A variety of masks, serums and hair care sprays often have to be chosen at random, since it is extremely difficult to test them in a store. Here, when choosing, you should rely on the current condition of the hair, their needs and, of course, the composition of the product itself that you want to purchase. It should satisfy all the needs of the hair.

If the hair is dyed several times, dry from roots to ends, then it makes sense to select products that must be used along the entire length. For example, these can be lightweight emulsions for curls that give smoothness and shine. In addition to a variety of salon brands, sometimes pharmacy brands should be preferred, such as Bioderma, which has high quality care products for damaged, brittle and loose hair.
