    Causes & Treatment for Damaged Hair

    It is a common misconception that dry hair is a naturally occurring hair type. Sometimes hair can become dry and brittle from colorants, sun exposure, or even just day-to-day wear and tear. An intensive hair mask will work wonders on dry locks, which is why we did the leg-work so you don’t have to! Check out our tips on caring for damaged hair & what causes it.

    Reduced oil production in the scalp

    Choosing a shampoo adapted to your hair type will have an especially large effect on your hair care results. Hair depends on the oils produced by the sebaceous glands for nourishment and lubrication. These oils are produced in the hair root and help it to retain its lustre. Reduced oil production can turn the hair dry and render it lifeless. This can happen as the body ages, or get triggered by irregular washing and lack of care. The dry scalp eventually peels off, resulting in flakes and dandruff. In such cases, shampooing on alternate days with a scalp shampoo for itchy hair, such as the ADV Purify Shampoo, is recommended.
