But moisturizing with professional and home remedies may not give the desired result if you do not know what causes are the basis of dry hair, and not make efforts to eliminate them.

It is found in meat, curd cheese, vegetables, berries, butter and vegetable oils. Vitamins of group B and E are also important. The body should receive a sufficient amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, macro- and microelements. The constant use of fatty, fried foods, smoked foods leads to the fact that the strands will look "fat", quickly get dirty and stick together, get a sloppy look, but they will be very dry. In this case, it will be a violation of the liver.

• Wrong care. Worsening the appearance of strands use when washing hard hot water, aggressive detergents. You can add a little soda to hard water.
• Incorrectly chosen care products.which may contain harmful components. Shampoos, balms, conditioners should be selected according to the type of hair.
