Why is my hair so dry?

A lot of times we think our hair is dry and it needs moisture?  Sounds about right considering what we have been taught by the commercials on TV.  Well, that's not always the case!  Through all the coloring and highlighting and blow drying and straightening we break down the integrity of our hair and strip it of the valuable proteins it needs.  When these proteins are gone the hair can feel lifeless and be frizzy and feel and look dry!  It's a pretty easy fix but that's based on the individual client's condition of their hair.  You will want to go to your local salon and ask for a protein treatment  this should be done by taking you to the shampoo bowl wetting and ringing the hair and then applying the treatment to the hair.  At this point a cap should be placed on and you should sit under the dryer for 15-20 minutes.  This is an extra service so most salons will charge an extra fee for this service, however if you live near a Paul Mitchell School you can get it done there pretty inexpensively.  If you get heavy highlights or color regularly done you would want this treatment after every highlight or color service as to protect your hair.  You must replace what you take out and some clients will require additional treatments to be determined by your stylist!  Don't think that just using conditioner at home will help all it does is lay on top of the hair to make it appear smooth.  You have to get professional treatment to restore your hair. Nothing at any beauty store you can buy will make a difference that's why you have to go to a salon!  Also make sure you are using quality professional products you by at a salon!  If you buy them any where else they are not guaranteed by the maker and could be old or watered down!!
