Why The Ends of Your Natural Hair Is So Dry

@ziwohadebe

 Dry ends in natural hair can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:


1. Natural Oils: The natural oils produced by your scalp may not effectively reach the ends of your hair, leaving them dry and brittle.

2. Moisture Loss: Curly and coily hair textures have difficulty retaining moisture, leading to dryness, especially at the ends.

3. Manipulation: Frequent styling, combing, brushing, and heat usage can cause damage and moisture loss, particularly at the ends.

4. Environmental Factors:  Exposure to harsh weather, sun, wind, and pollution can contribute to dryness.

5. Lack of Hydration: Not drinking enough water can impact your hair's moisture levels.

6. Split Ends: Once hair strands start to split, the damage can travel up the hair shaft, leading to further dryness.

7. Overwashing: Excessive washing or using harsh shampoos can strip your hair of its natural oils.

8. Lack of Sealing: Not properly sealing moisture into the hair with oils or creams can result in moisture loss.

9. Protein Imbalance: Too much or too little protein in your hair care routine can lead to dryness and breakage.

10. Improper Diet:Nutritional deficiencies can affect the health of your hair.

Watch this for more:



To address dry ends, consider:


- Using a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

- Deep conditioning regularly to restore moisture.

- Applying leave-in conditioners, oils, or creams to seal in moisture.

- Trimming your hair regularly to get rid of split ends.

- Avoiding excessive heat and styling.

- Wearing protective styles to minimize manipulation.

- Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a balanced diet.

- Using products with natural ingredients suitable for your hair type.


Experiment with different approaches to find a hair care routine that best suits your needs. If the problem persists, consulting a professional hairstylist or dermatologist may be helpful.

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
