Why Does Hair Become Dry After Shampooing?

Often, after getting a hair treatment at a parlor or salon, hair feels extremely dry. This issue can also occur after washing hair at home. However, following some home remedies can help avoid this problem.

Causes of Hair Dryness

• Pollution and Dust: Dust and pollution from outside, along with smoke and grease from cooking at home, can make hair dirty and oily. Without regular shampooing, this can harm hair health.
• Improper Rinsing: Not rinsing shampoo and conditioner thoroughly can leave residue, making hair dry and dull.

Home Remedies for Dry Hair

1. Thorough Rinsing: After shampooing, make sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to remove all the foam. When using conditioner, ensure there is no residue left.
2. Methi Water and Baking Powder: Mix methi water (fenugreek water) with a little baking powder and apply it to your hair. Rinse after 15 minutes. This helps reduce dryness.
3. Hot Water Treatment: Those with dandruff can try hot water treatment. However, hair should be washed off after 30 minutes.
4. Avoid Combing Wet Hair: Do not comb wet hair. Wait until it is half dry before combing.
5. Use Serum: Applying serum before combing can reduce tangling and keep hair smoother.
