Dryness is one of the most common hair complains globally, and spikes at this time of year after the sun, sea and sand of the summer. Here Tina Farey, Editorial Director of Rush shares easy ways to breathe life back into lacklustre locks
Hair becomes dry when the scalp lacks in its supply of natural moisture, or when the outer layer of the hair shaft becomes damaged. “There are various reasons why hair becomes dry, and it’s completely individual to the person, depending on factors like genetics, daily habits, diet, environment, hair history.
“Even how many times they wash their hair each week can make a difference,” says Tina Farey, Editorial Director of Rush. If that sounds familiar, don’t panic, because help is at hand. Here she shares how to add moisture back in.
Eat your way to healthier hair
Tina says: “Whilst I don’t recommend applying food directly to your hair, the nutrients found within can work works for your hair. Incorporating certain foods into your diet can revitalise your strands, helping you to grow healthier and thicker hair!
“Foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals, such as, biotin, zinc vitamin D, vitamin C and vitamin E are great for helping to strengthen and condition your hair. Foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids are great additions to your diet if your hair is on the damaged side – think about eating more sardines, salmon, chia seeds and walnuts!”
From the outside in
Tina says: “When it comes to budget hacks for nourishing your hair, my top tip would be stay hydrated! If you’re dehydrated, not only will your skin suffer from dehydration, but your hair will also feel the consequences! Drink plenty of water to ensure that your strands are hydrated from the inside and your scalp stays moisturised – hydrated hair is healthy hair!”
Weekly mask
Tina says: “I wouldn’t recommend using a hair mask every time you wash your hair, unless your hair is very damaged, or dry. I’d start incorporating one into your hair wash routine once a week and see how your hair feels after that. If your hair is needing some extra love, then experiment with using one twice a week, but I wouldn’t recommend any more than that.
“My go-to has to be the Kérastase Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze for hair that’s on the frizzier, more damaged side. Packed with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid and wild rose oil, this masque instantly nourishes and smooths hair while providing intense frizz control.”
Chop dry ends
Tina says: “Getting a trim every 6 – 8 weeks prevents any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair’s overall structure and leads to more breakage. I’d recommend getting a trim to revitalise your hair before the drop in temperature and to refresh your look before autumn.
“However, this does depend on your hair type, length and how often you colour and style your hair. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me!”
