Dry Hair Condition

Dry hair is hair that does not have enough moisture and oil to maintain its normal sheen and texture. Dry hair may result from too much and inadequate washing, harsh detergents, a dry environment, inadequate diet, or underlying conditions, such as those due to malnutrition. Dry, brittle hair may be a symptom of metabolic diseases.

Common Causes

Excessive washing, harsh detergents or alcohols, excessive blow-drying

Malnutrition
Hypothyroidism (Disease state in humans and animals caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland.)
