We can go cribbing over them, but it’s imperative to understand why they occur and what we can do to avoid them.

If you have dry hair, It means your hair lacks the moisture it requires. One of the prominent reasons could be, the low production of natural oil in the scalp. This could be because of your age and other reasons. Without this natural oil, your hair loses lustre and appears to be faded and frizzy. This not only affects the look of your hair but also makes them brittle and prone to hair fall. Dry hair may not necessarily mean damaged hair, but more often than not they can be interlinked, dry hair could be the sign of damaged hair. Hair damage occurs when the protective layer of the hair (cuticle) is attacked by external factors (heat, chemicals, friction, etc) leaving cracks in them. Because of the harmful effect of these factors the cuticles open up, making it appear dull, dry, and brittle and also more prone to damage and breakage.
