Hair that is shampooed every day will be dry and lifeless because too much natural oils are stripped away in the process of washing. If you don't shampoo enough. the natural oil will build up leaving a greasy limp appearance which causes the hair to plaster itseld on the scalp in where dandruff thrives

4. Sunburn on Hair
~Yes, sunburn affects hair as much as it affects skin, as heat combined with humidity will dry the hair and making it frizzes and breaks! Utilize replenishing shampoo and use leave-in conditioner to prevent drying of hair.

5. Hair Straightening
