These ingredients are used in many products that are designed for dry, damaged hair. While they can be beneficial in certain circumstances, weather an humidity in the air can cause less than desired results.

In low-humidity situations, such as a cold, dry winter air, there is often not enough water in the air for the humectant to attract to the surface of the hair. In this type of climate, you can only hope that moisture is not evaporated from the hair into the environment. Also, under these circumstances, there is some risk of the humectant actually removing moisture from the cortex of the hair itself, creating the problem it was intended to prevent.

That tells us that in dry climates it is important to use conditioning products which rely on strong moisturizers rather than traditional humectants.

In high-humidity conditions, such as the summer, there is a high amount of moisture in the air. This can be very harmful for curly hair. If curly hair is dry and damaged, it is very porous, and easily absorbs water from the air. In highhumidity situations, this can cause curly hair to swell so much that cuticles are raised, making the surface of the hair very rough and dry. The cuticles can then become entangled with cuticles of the surrounding hairs and create a huge, tangled mass, which is prone to breakage. Also, curly hair swollen by excess water can lose its curl pattern, creating the dreaded summer frizz.

As you can see, products heavy in humectants will only aggravate problems with humidity-induced frizz. Some humectants can also leave your hair feelingsticky when they become saturated with water. In tropical and subtropical climates, it is essential to maintain well-moisturized hair that is in good condition (which will be less prone to absorbing water from the hair). But it is preferable to use products containing fewer humectants or humectants with less hygroscopic capacity.

Due to the limitations of humectants in extreme weather conditions, it is evident that these ingredients probably function best for people with curly hair that live in moderate climates, with temperatures and humidity in the medium range.

Glycerin in the most commonly used humectant. Honey is another Humectant that can be used on hair. Glycerine and Honey both can not be applied directly to the hair. They must be combined with water. 1 part Glycerine or Honey and 3 parts water.

Steps for performing to get the greenhouse effect:

Step 1: Spray you hair with water until slightly damp.

Step 2: place your hair in a bun, ponytail or braids.

Step 3: Place a plastic cap over your head. To increase the effect add a scarf or additional plastic bags to increase the warmth.

Step 4: Leave your hair covered overnight or leave on for an extended period of time. This will create a green house steam effect in your hair.

Step 5: In the morning, remove the cap and allow your hair to dry naturally or blow dry on a cool setting

Step 6: moisturize, seal and style your hair as usual.

When performing this method, sometimes it's best to avoid using oils to allow for the pores to be open and prevent blockage.

How often should this method be performed?

2 times a week should work well. Anymore than that and it is possible that it may weaken the hair and cause breakage. If you experience any unusual breakage due to performing this method, you should discontinue immediately.

Refrain from wearing hats, if possible, as they absorb the natural oil from your scalp and prevent it from hydrating or moisturizing your hair. Flat irons, blow dryers and other similar heated hair tools can lead to dry hair that eventually becomes brittle and causes breakage. It is advisable to avoid blow drying the hair on high heat altogether. If you must blow dry your hair, use a cool setting.

Water and Hydration Facts for healthy hair

An important key to healthy, beautiful, shiny and long hair is hydration. A Sufficient amount of water plays a major role in allowing the hair to grow long and fast. Dehydration can make you feel tired but it can also cause drying of your hair shaft and scalp and ultimately cause split ends and hair breakage. Your hair follicles require ample nutrients in order to produce healthy hair and water is an essential nutrient. By drinking water in the right quantity, you can supply nutrients to your scalp and promote rapid hair growth. 8 -12 glasses per day is the average.

A very important element of hydration is making sure to keep you hair and ends hydrated. The ONLY way to truly hydrate our hair is with water. It is very important that before applying your leave in conditioner or oils that you make sure that your hair is moisturized with water. 

Hydrating your hair with water and following with an oil will help to lock in moisture throughout the day. Another way to retain your hair's moisture is to avoid washing your hair every day. Regardless of how gentle the shampoo is, the very act of washing the hair strips natural oils from your hair and can cause breakage and dryness. Many shampoos also include petroleum, sulfate, alcohol and mineral oil that are very drying to the hair.

BestHairTreatment - Hair cleansers are an important step in maintaining clean, shiny hair. Cleansers work to remove dirt, oil, and product build-up. Gently cleansing the hair and scalp can turn limp, lifeless hair into squeaky-clean, shiny hair that is ready for styling. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to wash your hair every day. Unless you have baby-fine hair and/or a very oily scalp, cleansing a few times a week is plenty. Cleansing your hair too frequently can result in split ends, a dry scalp, and unruly, parched hair. 

These contain surfactants to remove oils, dirt, and odors from the scalp and hair. Natural shampoos do not usually lather and sud as much as conventional cleansers. Nevertheless, they cleanse incredibly well. Liquid shampoos are applied to wet hair and massaged through from the roots to the ends of the hair, and then rinsed with warm water. They can be used a few times a week. 

These make brilliant “quick fixes” for dirty hair. Dry shampoos are waterless and contain dry ingredients such as cornstarch, arrowroot powder, clay, and even rice powder. A small amount is sprinkled over the scalp and either massaged into or combed through the hair to soak up oil, remove dirt, and even boost volume. Dry shampoos are regularly perfumed with aromatic essential oils to eliminate odors. They can be used daily. 

The “no-shampoo” protocol has become pretty popular recently. Baking soda is used to cleanse and purify the hair, and is then followed with a vinegar-based herbal rinse to balance out the pH level. Baking soda mixed with water (usually in a 1:3 ratio) is gently massaged into the hair and onto the scalp, and then rinsed away with warm water. Since baking soda is very alkaline, this particular cleansing method should only be performed once or twice a week. 

BestHairTreatment - On average, your hair can grow up to 6 inches every year. The secret to healthy, goodlooking hair is a combination of nourishing your body on the inside, while nurturing your hair on the outside. Follow the following tried-and-tested tips for beautiful hair.

1. Eat a healthy diet full of foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, biotin, silica, zinc, antioxidants, protein, sulfur, iron, selenium, and folate. Consider taking a vitamin D supplement, too. 

2. Cleanse your hair gently and only when necessary. 

3. Condition and nourish your hair with plant-based oils and extracts at least once a week to protect the hair follicles.

4. Avoid wearing tight ponytails and hair styles in which the hair shaft is tugged or treated roughly. 

5. Trim the ends of your hair on a regular basis. Even snipping off a quarter of an inch every few months will get rid of any split ends, which, if left alone, will continue to split even further up the hair shaft. 

6. Allow your hair to air dry instead of applying harsh heat.

7. Avoid an excessive use of hot styling tools such as curlers, flat irons, and crimpers. 

8. Remember, it is normal for the average healthy person to shed up to 150 hairs per day.
