Moisturizing care for hair damaged by dryness or sunburn
Summer hair damage
The strong ultraviolet rays of the summer sun can damage the health of your hair, making it more susceptible to the following problems:
■ Dry hair UV rays strip hair of moisture and dry it out. This makes hair dry, brittle, and less flexible. Dry hair is more prone to breakage and split ends.
■ Cuticle Damage The cuticle that covers the outside of the hair is easily damaged by UV rays. When the cuticle is damaged, the inside of the hair is not protected, making the hair brittle and vulnerable to external damage.
■ Hair loses its luster When the cuticle is damaged by UV rays, the surface of the hair becomes rough and it becomes difficult for it to reflect light. As a result, hair loses its luster and shine.
The effect of horse oil on summer hair damage
■Prevents hair from drying out due to UV rays Strong UV rays in summer can strip moisture from hair and cause it to dry out. By utilizing the high moisturizing power of horse oil, you can moisturize your hair and prevent it from drying out. Applying a thin layer of horse oil to your entire hair will protect it and reduce the dryness caused by UV rays.
■ Prevents damage to cuticles When the cuticles of your hair are damaged by UV rays, seawater, or chlorine in a pool, your hair becomes prone to becoming dry. By using horse oil, you can replenish the oil in the cuticles and keep them less susceptible to damage. This helps to maintain the shine of your hair and keep it smooth to the touch.
■Protection before stylingSummer is a season when hair can easily become frizzy and lose its style due to humidity and sweat. By using horse oil before styling, you can apply a light coating to your hair, protecting it from humidity and making your style last longer. Horse oil is also effective in protecting your hair from the heat of hair dryers and hair irons.
Winter hair damage
In the winter, when temperatures drop and humidity levels drop, hair and scalp become more susceptible to dryness, leading to the following problems:
■ Dry and brittle hair The dry air of winter can easily strip moisture from hair, making it dry and brittle. When hair becomes dry, it becomes difficult to touch and maintain a moist, shiny appearance.
■ Generation of static electricity In the dry winter environment, hair is prone to static electricity. When static electricity occurs, hair becomes more likely to tangle and become difficult to manage, and it can also cause hair breakage. Static electricity can also cause hair to spread out, making styling difficult.
■ Increased hair breakage and split ends Dry hair can lose its flexibility and increase the risk of breakage and split ends. Dry and weak hair is more susceptible to damage during brushing and styling, which can make it more prone to breakage.
Horse oil's effect on winter damage
■Prevents hair from drying out and becoming brittle The dry air of winter strips moisture from hair, making it more prone to becoming brittle. By utilizing the excellent moisturizing power of horse oil, you can lock in moisture in your hair, preventing it from drying out and keeping it moisturized. In particular, by applying a small amount of horse oil to damp hair after washing, you can prevent moisture from escaping and maintain smoothness.
■UV rays suppress static electricity In the dry winter environment, hair is prone to static electricity. Static electricity causes hair to spread and become tangled, but using horse oil gives hair the right amount of oil, suppressing static electricity. This makes hair easier to manage and prevents it from spreading.
■Prevention of split ends and breakageWhen hair becomes brittle due to dryness, the risk of breakage and split ends increases. The moisturizing and nourishing effects of horse oil help maintain hair strength and reduce damage caused by dryness. Applying horse oil to the ends of your hair can prevent split ends and keep your hair healthy.
Usage examples
■Hair mask: Apply horse oil to your hair all over before washing, leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, and then rinse it off to deeply moisturize your hair.
■Daily Hair Mask By applying a small amount of horse oil to your hair daily, focusing especially on the ends, you can protect your hair from everyday damage.
■ Scalp massage Applying horse oil to the scalp and gently massaging it will improve blood circulation and prevent dryness and dandruff.
