Low humidity and cold weather cause dryness of the scalp and hair.  Loss of control and static electricity render the hair flat and dull.  However, dry hair is a chronic disorder for some people, and everyone with dry hair is constantly seeking the hair products best for them.

Dryness of hair results in the following manner:

The sebaceous glands on the scalp secrete hair oils known collectively as sebum which form a coating over the hair follicle and protect it.  When the low humidity caused by cold weather dries up the scalp, the secretion of sebum is reduced and this renders the hair dry and breakable.

We receive many enquiries about the hair products that are the best for dry hair, during the winter season and also from the people chronically affected.  To put it in a simple way, we can say that the shampoos and specific treatments which can infuse moisture topically are the best ways to maintain the hair’s body, control and hydration.

The ingredients which should be invariably present in hair products for dry hair are Emu oil, Jojoba oil and Panthenol.

Emu oil, when used either individually or as shampoo ingredient, is effective in treatment of dry hair.  It has been in use for treatment of skin and hair, from a long time back in Australia.  Emu oil is a natural product with anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and transdermal properties.  The last mentioned characteristic of this oil means that it is able to penetrate the follicle and the scalp and infuse moisture.  So it’s an active ingredient found in most hair products for treatment of dry, itchy scalp.   Emu oil has a rich content of Omega 3 fats which are vital in maintaining the elasticity and health of hair follicles, thereby rendering the hair soft and manageable.

Jojoba oil is obtained from indigenous plants in the southwestern US.  Its properties are almost identical to those of sebum, but this oil has a deep cleansing property which doesn’t deprive the hair of its moisture.

Panthenol is widely known for its soothing properties when the scalp is concerned.  It enhances the health of follicles by repairing and rebuilding their protein bonds.

The hair products which are best for dry scalp and hair will restore moisture to the hair along with gentle cleansing.  They will provide more control and manageability of hair during the cold winter season, and also restore moisture to dry hair resulting from chronic conditions.
