Do you feel that your hair is always tangled? Take it easy! You are not alone. Everyone has experienced dry hair. Actually, there are several things that cause dry hair, but remember that you were not born with dry hair. By following a few steps, even dry hair can be prevented.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Using Coconut Oil
Step 1. Understand the benefits of coconut oil
Coconut oil is one type of "magic" food ingredient that has a variety of benefits. Besides being used as a substitute for butter, coconut oil can also revitalize hair. Coconut oil can also make hair smoother and shinier.
Step 2. Melt the coconut oil first
You can melt it by putting it in a container and placing it in boiling water, or heating it in the microwave. At room temperature, coconut oil is solid. However, the melting point is low enough that the melting process will not take long. However, don't heat it too long until the oil is hot so that your scalp doesn't scald when you apply the oil.
Step 3. Comb your hair
Untangle any tangled or tense hair before you apply coconut oil. Once the hair is combed, the oil can be applied more easily to the hair.
Step 4. Apply the oil on the hair
Use about 1-4 tablespoons of previously melted coconut oil. The amount of oil you need to use will depend on how thorough the treatment is, as well as the health of your hair. However, if used too much, coconut oil will not damage the hair. Apply the oil and massage it on the scalp. Also, coat your hair with oil from root to tip.
Step 5. Leave it for one night
Use a shower cap or shower cap to hold your hair in place. Make sure the hat is tight, but not to restrict blood circulation. If you don't want to let the oil sit overnight, just let the oil sit for about two hours.
Step 6. Wash your hair
Use a shampoo with a moisturizer in the morning to wash off the attached oil. However, don't use too much shampoo (about one palm coverage).
Method 2 of 4: Washing Your Hair
Step 1. Know your hair type
Everyone has a different hair type. In addition, various shampoo products are produced for different hair types. For example, if you have oily hair, look for and use a shampoo made specifically for oily hair.
Step 2. Use the right type of shampoo
Choose a shampoo that does not contain sulfates, alcohol, and other chemicals. If possible, use organic shampoo products.
Step 3. Massage the shampoo on the scalp
You only need to use a small amount of shampoo. If used too much, shampoo can actually cause dry hair. Pour a small amount of shampoo into your palms, then massage it into your scalp thoroughly.
Step 4. Try not to shampoo too often
It's a good idea to reduce the frequency of shampooing using shampoo. Actually, you don't have to wash your hair with shampoo every day because using shampoo in such frequency can actually damage your hair more quickly. By washing your hair regularly, you are stripping your hair of its natural oils. As long as the amount is small, the oil is beneficial for the hair, although too much of it will make the hair dirty.
Step 5. Use conditioner
Make sure you use a conditioner that doesn't contain silicone, alcohol, and other heavy chemicals. Only use a small amount of conditioner. If your hair is very thick and frizzy, use more conditioner. Usually, thick and curly hair types are drier than other hair types. The conditioner used can help moisturize the hair.
Step 6. Rinse your hair
After using shampoo and conditioner, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water (don't use hot water to prevent dry hair). If you don't use shampoo, rinse your hair with warm water while rubbing and untangling it with your hands.
Method 3 of 4: Doing Hair Treatment After Bath
Step 1. Let your hair dry
Dry your hair by gently squeezing it, then wrapping a towel around your head. Wet hair is very sensitive and breaks easily, so you shouldn't comb or rub it with a towel to dry it. After letting your hair sit in the towel for 10-20 minutes, it's usually fairly dry.
Step 2. Use hair oil
Once your hair is dry enough, use a hair oil, such as argan oil. In addition to making hair shiny, argan oil can prevent frizz and make it smoother.
Step 3. Comb your hair
Be careful when combing out the tangled sections of hair after you shower and wash your hair, as you can still damage certain sections of your hair. When styling it, try not to overuse the heat generator. If you need to blow dry it or style it with a straightening iron, use a hair protection product (especially from heat) to prevent dry hair and split ends.
Step 4. Try using an anti-frizz hair spray
If your hair feels very tangled when you brush it, try using an anti-frizz spray first. After that, comb the hair from the ends first, then gradually towards the roots.
Method 4 of 4: Following Other Precautions
Step 1. Pay attention to the type of food consumed
Make sure you eat lots of fresh food, and drink plenty of water. Hair care needs to be done from the outside and inside.
Step 2. Use apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is another type of food that is also beneficial. For better results, buy a vinegar product that contains an active culture. Mix 120 ml of apple cider vinegar with 240 ml of warm water. Spray it on your hair after you wash it and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that, rinse your hair again, but without using shampoo.
Step 3. Use aloe vera
Another ingredient you can apply to your hair after showering or washing your hair is aloe vera gel to make your hair more moisturized. You just need to apply and massage the gel (directly from the stem of the plant) on your hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. After that, rinse your hair with cold water.
