Dry hair men: what can you do?

Dry hair is something many men experience. Some hair types are more prone for dry hair than others. Men with curly hair or thin hair will experience dry hair more often. In this blog post I will talk about the causes of dry hair and what kind of products can help to reduce it.

When you experience dry hair as a man, your hair is usually a bit flat and limp. Your hair will also look lifeless because it does not contain enough moisture anymore. That is not only unhealthy for your hair, but it also does not look great.

What are causes of dry hair for men?

There are many different causes to think of that can lead to dry hair for men. The most important ones I will talk about below, but the list is way longer. It is a very personal problem, because each individual can experience dry hair for different reasons.

Use shampoo too often and too much

When you wash your hair very often and use a lot of shampoo, that can certainly cause dry hair. Men are inclined to quickly use some random shampoo, but it is important to use a high quality shampoo that does not strip your hair too much of its natural oils.

Almost every shampoo will wash away a little bit of the natural oils in your hair, but (cheap) shampoo with harmful ingredients do this more often. Your scalp and hair will need more time then to replenish these natural oils and that can result in dryer hair. Especially men with thin and/or curly hair can get problems with brittle and dry hair.

You also do not have to wash your hair with shampoo all the time. When you want to rinse out hair styling products completely, you will need some shampoo of course, but when you are exercising without any product in your hair, then you can just wash your hair with warm water.

Using shampoo every time will not give your hair any time to recover. Especially when you are not using a conditioner afterwards, then you will probably get dry hair.

You cannot simply stop washing your hair with shampoo, no matter how dry it is. You cannot have all that product build-up in your hair, because it some point your hair will get too oily and dirty, which causes its own problems. That is why it is important to use mild shampoos that will not make your hair any dryer.

Too much sun and heat

Just like your skin will become dry when it is exposed to heat a lot, your hair will become dry too when there is no hydration. Too much time in the sun does not help. Blow-drying a lot also does not help, so do not blow-dry your hair with the hottest setting!

When it is hot, you probably are inclined to go to the nearest pool. A pool contains a lot of chlorine, so if you spend a lot of time in a pool, that will have an effect on your hair. Try to keep your hair dry when you are going to a pool or make sure you are not going to a pool too often back to back.

After exposure to the sun or heat it is important to hydrate your hair again. A conditioner is an important first step to fight dry hair for men. Most conditioners are suitable for dry hair, as long as they contain healthy and nourishing ingredients.

The conditioners mentioned do not contain any parabens or sulfates. These are suitable to repair dry and brittle hair. Your hair will become stronger again. They contain healthy extracts and ingredients that nourish and hydrate your hair.

Chemical treatments

Do you like to color your hair and always walk around with trendy colors? That can potentially damage your hair. Coloring, styling or bleaching your hair can make your hair brittle and dry. In many of these cases heat is involved, which leads to moisture loss.

So, it is important to give your hair enough time to recover from the treatment. When you feel that a regular conditioner does not provide the hydration you need after chemical treatments, you could consider a leave-in conditioner.

These special conditioners stay in your hair, you do not rinse your hair afterwards. This way your hair will be hydrated and nourished for a longer time. That helps your hair to recover better to reduce the chance of damaged and dry hair.

Looking for a lot of hydration?

When you want the ultimate hydration for your hair, on top of a conditioner or leave in conditioner, then you can have a look at hair oils and hair serums. In this blog post I talk about it some more. A hair oil contains natural oils like argan oil, jojoba oil, olive oil or any other similar oil as the base ingredient.

These natural oils provide a lot of hydration for your hair. After a few weeks you will notice that your hair will feel less dry. Your hair also becomes easier to manage and style.

Conclusion

There are many causes of dry hair for men. I talked about the most important ones, but you can also have a skin condition or experience hormonal changes that can cause brittle and dry hair. In these cases it is important to consult with a dermatologist.

In many other cases it is manly a matter of behavior. Washing your hair with shampoo too often, spending too much in the sun or use a hot blow-dryer are all cases of dry hair. It is important to do these things moderately.
