Now, most of the hairstyles aren’t suitable for dry hair. It’s a big headache and only dry hair people can understand it. People with healthy, shiny, and moisturized hair are trying different hairstyles. However, people with dry and damaged hair are facing hair fall, split ends, and frizzy hair problems.

1. Reasons for Dry Hair

Before knowing about the home remedies, let’s see the possible reasons for getting dry and brittle hair,

1. Using water with a high amount of chlorine, which removes natural oils from the hair, will make your hair dry and dull.
