Dry hair refers to hair that is brittle, dull, coarse, and prone to breakage due to insufficient moisture and oil content in the hair shaft or scalp. It is a common condition caused by environmental, nutritional, or systemic factors.

Causes:

• Environmental: Excessive sun exposure, wind, low humidity, pollution
• Chemical or mechanical: Frequent hair dyeing, perming, straightening, harsh shampoos, or excessive heat styling
• Nutritional deficiency: Lack of essential fatty acids, proteins, or vitamins
• Medical conditions: Hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalance, anemia
• Aging: Reduced sebaceous gland activity with age
• Stress or emotional factors

Symptoms:

• Hair appears dull, rough, and frizzy
• Ends are split or brittle
• Increased hair breakage and shedding
• Scalp may feel dry, tight, or itchy
• Lack of natural shine and elasticity

Complications:
Persistent dry hair can lead to hair thinning, split ends, and fragile hair shafts, making hair more susceptible to damage and premature graying.

Conventional management includes hair oils, conditioning treatments, dietary supplementation, and protection from harsh environments, while homoeopathy targets constitutional weakness, scalp health, and hair follicle vitality.

In homoeopathy, dry hair is addressed by supporting the hair’s natural vitality, correcting underlying systemic deficiencies, and improving scalp nourishment. Remedies are selected based on hair quality, scalp condition, constitutional features, and associated systemic or emotional factors.

Homoeopathy aims to:

Address associated constitutional or systemic imbalances

Restore natural moisture and shine

Strengthen hair follicles and roots

Reduce brittleness, breakage, and split ends
