What Causes Dry Hair?

Did you ever wonder about the reason behind your frizzy and dry hair? Our hair is composed of three distinct layers— medulla or the innermost layer, cortex or the middle layer and cuticle or the outermost layer. Of the three layers, the cuticle is responsible for making your hair look healthy and shiny. However, regular grooming, heat styling, and exposure to cold and dry weather can cause the cuticle to break down and make your hair look dull, dry and damaged.

You can restore your hair’s health by providing necessary nourishment and hydration to the scalp and the roots. And one of the most efficient ways to do so is regularly applying hair oil, such as the Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil.

Why Do We Suggest Coconut-based Hair Oil for Damaged Hair*? 

Coconut is rich in Vitamin E, Lauric Acid, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are highly beneficial to ensure your hair’s health. Moreover, research shows that as compared to other vegetable oils, coconut oil for hair is the closest in structure to human hair, allowing for deeper and more effective penetration for a healthier scalp and roots.

Studies show that, when applied regularly as a pre-wash treatment, coconut-based hair oils like Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil preserve the softness of the hair fiber. Moreover, it forms a protective layer on your hair to prevent surface damage.

Hair Oils to Protect Damaged Hair

Coconut- based Hair Oil

Poor scalp and hair health can result in damaged, dull and dry hair. Coconut-based hair oil like Parachute Advansed Gold Coconut Hair Oil is enriched with the goodness of coconut and Vitamin E. It penetrates your scalp deeper and moisturizes your hair for shiny and soft hair.

Hot Oil

Winters are especially brutal for your hair’s health. Thus you should provide it with the extra nourishment it needs for healthier, stronger and softer hair. One of the best ways to ensure that is by using a deeply nourishing hot oil, such as Parachute Advansed Hot Hair Oil. This specially formulated hair oil is enriched with the goodness of Black Pepper, Hibiscus, Thyme and other hair-friendly nutrients. It nourishes your hair from within and protects damaged and dry hair even during the harshest of winters, making it manageable, silky and soft.

Ayurvedic Hair Oil

Most of the ayurvedic hair oils are enriched with the goodness of herbs like Bhringaraj, Amla, Japa, Jatamansi, Black Mustard, Black Sesame, Yashtimadhu, Neem, and more. One such highly nourishing hair oil is the Parachute Advansed Ayurvedic Hair Oil. It is enriched with the goodness of twenty-five potent herbs proven to enhance hair health. These herbs are mixed in the right proportion to boost the efficacy of your trusted coconut-based hair oil. It penetrates your scalp and helps solve a host of winter hair concerns for healthy, lustrous and soft hair.

Suggested Application

Although there are no hard and fast rules to applying hair oil, when it comes to tackling concerns like damaged and dry hair, especially during winter, we advise using it as a pre-wash treatment. Why so? It is a known fact that oil repels water. Thus, when you apply the hair oil a pre-wash, your scalp and roots better absorb the nourishment and lock it in for gorgeous and lustrous hair.

We suggest applying your chosen hair oil at least thrice a week to maximize the benefits and get the best out of it.

A Pro Tip: When you have really dry hair, you might feel tempted to use a lot of hair oil all at once. However, under such circumstances, you must remember that a little can go a long way. Take a small amount of hair oil, rub it between your palms and gently massage it using your fingertips. For maximum efficiency, part your hair into sections, apply the oil on your scalp and gradually work your way down to the tips.

Conclusion

Dry hair is caused because of the complete breakdown of the outermost layer of your hair. It is a gradual process and usually happens because of exposure to dirt, dust, pollution, cold and dry weather conditions and excessive heat styling. Hair oils, as seen here, are an efficient way to provide essential nutrition and moisturization to your hair and lock it all in, to restore it to health. So, go ahead and grab that bottle of hair oil to get started on your winter hair care regime for healthy and soft hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How frequently should I apply coconut based hair oil to tackle damaged and dry hair?

While there are no hard and fast limitations on how frequently you should apply coconut-based hair oil, experts suggest applying it at least thrice a week for maximum benefits. However, depending on your hair type, application method, and concerns, you can adjust the frequency as it best suits your needs.

2. I have curly hair that is very dry and damaged. Can I use my hair oil as a post-wash leave-in conditioner?

Yes, you can. Coconut based hair oil works as an excellent substitute for your regular conditioner. If you have curly hair, you can take a few drops of your hair oil, and dab it onto your hair after shampooing to provide your damaged hair with extra conditioning and moisturisation.
