Washing dry hair frequent can make them dry, frizzy and dull. Drying wet hair using a blow drier is not recommended. This make the hair dry, can cause split ends. Regular use of blow drier can cause breakage of hair. The blow drier should only be used when there is absolutely no time to dry hair naturally. Hair in wet condition should not be combed. This can cause breakage of hair. Shampoo to clean the hair should be mild and not of alkaline ph. Alkaline ph can cause drying of hair. Panthenol containing shampoos rather than natural herbs are better. Panthenol holds water in hair strands. Conditioner can be used after shampooing the hair to make it easy to style the hair. Hair should be protected from sun exposure and chlorine (while in swimming pool). Scalp massage with spinach, carrot and coriander juice is useful to treat damaged hair. Hot oil massage to scalp and avoiding dyes, bleaches and chemical hair care products are some more cures for damaged hair. Scalp massage stimulates the oil production in scalp. The massage should be gentle so that to avoid damage to the already damaged hair strands.

After all balanced diet, sound sleep, plenty of water and stress relaxation are must to cure hair damage.
