Of course, you want to prevent this problem as much as possible, but in case you already suffer from dry hair, there are 5 unique tips for treating dry hair.
In this article, we will explain the causes of dry hair, tell you how to prevent it and give you five unique tips to get your hair healthy and hydrated again. Treating dry hair with Love And Care is suitable for every hair type.
Why do you suffer from dry hair?
Dry hair occurs when your hair does not have enough natural oils or cannot retain moisture properly. We often see that dry hair occurs extra quickly with curly hair and frizzy hair. Natural oils and hydration are more difficult to absorb by this hair type. Treating dry hair is then extra important.
- Washing too often: Washing your hair daily with standard shampoos can strip the natural oils and dry out your hair. Make sure you wash your hair no more than twice a week and preferably use a shampoo without sulfates and parabens.
- Heat styling: Blow dryers, straighteners and curling irons strip moisture from your hair and make it more fragile. Use heat protection and take care after to style for sufficient hydration.
- Weather conditions: Cold air in winter and sun rays in summer can dry out your hair and make it brittle. It is therefore important to protect your hair well with nourishing hair products.
- Unhealthy food: Too few healthy fats and vitamins in your diet can leave your hair less hydrated.
- Use of chemical products: Paint, bleach and aggressive hair products can damage and dry out your hair.
Treating Dry Hair - 5 Unique Tips
1. Use a hair butter with natural ingredients
A good hair butter is the number 1 solution for treating dry hair. A deeply nourishing mask is packed with hydrating ingredients such as shea butter, natural oils and glycerine.
How do you use it?
- Wash your hair with a mild shampoo without sulfates.
- Apply a generous amount of hair butter to towel-dried hair.
- Let it be 20-30 minutes soak in for a deep hydration boost.
- Rinse thoroughly and enjoy wonderfully soft and shiny hair.

2. Massage your scalp with hair oil
Dry hair often starts with a dry scalp. A good scalp massage with hydrating hair oil can do wonders. The Queenie Hair Oil from Love and Care By JSM is perfect because it is enriched with castor oil, argan oil and lemon oil – all great for hydrating and treating dry hair.
How do you do a hair oil massage?
- Heat a small amount of oil (not too hot, place the oil in a glass of warm water).
- Gently massage the oil into your scalp and spread it through the lengths of your hair.
- Let it soak in for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
This works especially well if your hair is brittle and frizzy! Repeat this treatment 2 times a week.
3. Rinse your hair with cold water
This may sound like a challenge, but it really works. Warm water opens the hair cuticles, while cold water she closes . This keeps the moisture better in your hair and makes it less frizzy. So when you wash your hair, use cold water.
