If baldness is the eternal enemy of men’s hair, dry hair is a main problem that women often suffer from.

Have you ever wondered why many people wash their hair with whatever shampoo they use, their hair always looks good. Meanwhile, you tried everything like buying expensive shampoo and referring from influencers, but your dry and stiff hair condition still didn’t improve much.

This blog will aid in figuring out why. If you have an interest in beauty, you can also refer to this website for more information.

Natural oils produced by the scalp play an important role in nourishing hair follicles and helping hair become strong and healthy. When the natural oil is insufficient, hair moisture can also be lost, causing dry hair. Every healthy hair has a protective layer called the cuticle. The cuticle layer covers the outside and is responsible for protecting the hair from the harmful effects of sunlight and heat. A healthy epidermis will consist of many layers that are close together and maintain moisture inside. When the cuticles separate and peel, the cuticle’s ability to retain moisture is reduced and leads to dry, brittle hair.

However, there are some of the following causes that cause this natural oil layer to become deficient, leading to worse conditions besides dry hair such as dandruff or scalp inflammation.

- Aging process: Hair produces less oil in older people due to the aging process. However, because the hair roots are under the skin, dry hair is often accompanied by a dry scalp, causing flaking and dandruff.

- Use shampoos that specifically treat certain dermatological problems for the scalp such as dandruff and fungus. These products contain deep cleansing ingredients, which sometimes strip the hair of its natural nutrients

- Using a lot of strong detergents or using them multiple times causes the natural oils in the hair to not be protected.

- Drying your hair too often, especially when using hair styling products that contain alcohol.

- Use a regular hair styler such as a hair straightener or curling iron.

- Hair is exposed to sunlight, wind or dry air.

So, how do we deal with these problems

First, let’s start with changing your shampoo

Biotin shampoo is a shampoo containing the main ingredient Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in maintaining the health of hair, skin and hair. nail. Considered “food for hair”, Biotin provides essential nutrients for growth and recovery of weak, broken hair.

Biotin has the ability to promote the production of keratin — a major protein in the hair structure, helping to enhance hair shine, thickness and softness. In addition, Biotin also has the ability to balance natural oils on the scalp, reduce greasy hair and protect the scalp from bacteria that cause inflammation.

Biotin shampoo is often produced in combination with other ingredients such as keratin, vitamins and vegetable oils, to enhance the effectiveness of hair restoration and protection. However, the impact and effectiveness of Biotin shampoo may vary for each person depending on each person’s hair condition and constitution.

If shampoo is not the problem, you can implement other steps:

- Wash your hair less. Hair should be washed clean of dirt time to four times a week instead of every day as many people do. In addition, when you no longer wash your hair regularly, the frequency of hair drying and styling also decreases.

- Use hair chemicals that do not contain alcohol.

- After using shampoo, use moisturizing conditioner. Moisturizing conditioner will help protect the cuticle and retain the hair’s natural oils.

- Massage your scalp with coconut oil or jojoba oil.

Here are all causes and solutions I can come up with for you. If your hair condition is too bad, visiting doctors is necessary.
