How to Put Moisture Back Into Your Dry Hair

Dry hair is one of the most common issues that most people are dealing with. Some people acquire dry hair from outside factors such as environmental damage or styling, and some people experience dryness as a result of their natural hair texture. Either way, it can be dreadful when your hair frizzes up and loses its shine.

When your hair starts looking dull, feeling rough, and breaking off, it is telling you that it needs some major nourishment and hydration. While it is one of the most common problems, it is also one of the easiest issues to remedy. There are a ton of things that you can do to put some moisture back in your hair, and most of them can even be done at home with natural ingredients that you can find lying around your house.

Here are some things you can incorporate into your hair care routine to really hydrate your locks and bring back its healthy shine.

Hair Oiling

Hair oiling is one of the easiest and most convenient dry hair treatments that you can do at home. People have been using this home remedy for ages. You’ll only be needing one ingredient and the method is pretty simple and straightforward. Just slather some oil into your hair and voila! This method is not only super convenient, but it’s also an effective remedy that can produce results immediately after you do it.

Here are some of the oils you can use to practice hair oiling to restore your hair’s moisture:

Coconut Oil

Coconut can be found in most households. It is used in all types of cooking and tons of home remedies and beauty routines. People usually buy it in bulk because it’s inexpensive and keep a bunch of it at home. Since you probably already have this type of oil lying around, you might as well use some of it to nourish your parched locks.

Coconut oil is extremely rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that will moisturize your hair and your scalp from the inside out. It will also help heal damage and make your hair stronger so that it’s less prone to breaking and hair fall.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is another substance that can be found in most homes. It’s a little bit pricier than coconut oil, but you’ll probably still have this in your house as one of your regular cooking oils and dressings because of its multiple health benefits and unique flavor.

Olive oil is incredibly moisturizing and particularly amazing for those having issues with a dry scalp and dry hair. It is packed with essential fatty acids and moisturizing properties that moisturize your hair and scalp and stimulate growth. Olive oil is even a little better than coconut oil at providing overall hydration, so if you have some olive oil to spare, definitely use some on your hair.

Argan Oil

Argan oil is not as common as the first two oils mentioned earlier because it isn’t really a cooking oil, but if you’re a beauty and skincare enthusiast, you might just have a bottle of this lying around in your house. This is also the preferred oil for traditional Indian hair oiling, so if you have some Moroccan Argan oil around, that is liquid gold when it comes to Indian hair care beauty secrets!

This oil is super rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. It has incredible healing and moisturizing properties that will repair damaged hair and moisturize it at the same time. Argan oil is very effective at restoring your hair’s shine and elasticity, making it smooth, silky, and strong.

Hair Masks

Hair masks can be a fun DIY activity that you can do at home. If you like mixing up concoctions and feeling like a pseudo-scientist making experiments, you can go ahead and make some hair masks of your own with some ingredients that you can find in your pantry.

Examples of ingredients you can use are avocados, yogurt, honey, olive oil, and more! Check out this article for some hair mask recipes that you can mix up at home.

At-Home Keratin Treatment

If you’re looking for something a little stronger and will give you immediate and long term results, you might want to try out an at-home keratin treatment like Mayraki’s Organic Hydrolyzed Keratin Instant Smoother System.

There are times when hair is just a little too stubborn and won’t pick up the extra moisture that you’re trying to put into it with natural methods. If you’re fed up with not totally getting the results that you wanted or not having the drastic change that you were expecting, a keratin treatment might suit you better.

The Mayraki Organic Hydrolyzed Keratin Instant Smoother system is just like any Brazilian blowout or keratin treatment that you can get at a salon except for the fact that it does not contain any of the harmful chemicals that the professional salon products contain. It has all-natural ingredients, so it’s safe to use at home. This keratin treatment will immediately make your hair much more manageable, shiny, and smooth and locks in your hair cuticle to protect it from any more damage. Once you finish your treatment, you will immediately notice drastic results that will last for up to 6 months.

At-Home Moisturizing Treatment

If you want something that will nourish your hair from the inside out, you can also opt for an intensely moisturizing treatment that you can use at home, like the Mayraki Proactive Hair Repairing Treatment.

This moisturizing and repairing treatment is formulated to give your hair intense hydration and repair damage from the inside out. It helps bring back your hair’s natural shine and smoothness, healing, and nourishing the follicles with amino acids and all-natural ingredients. Since this treatment is more about healing your hair naturally, you will need to incorporate it into your hair care routine 3 to 5 times a week. You will get visible results of silky, smooth, and healthy hair with continued use.

Healthy, Shiny Locks

Healthy and shiny locks are what we all aspire to have. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it also means that your hair is happy. When your hair is dry, brittle, and frizzy, it means that you have to give it some extra love and care to restore its balance. Try out some of these dry hair treatments and remedies to put some moisture and life back into your hair.
