What Does Dull Hair Look Like?
The characteristics of dull hair can best be described by lacking shine, radiance and luster, whilst feeling rough to the touch with an uneven frizzy surface.
Dull hair may be harder to detangle and might look heavier on the head. This does not mean that dull hair is dry or damaged, but often it lacks vitality and movement.
In short, dull hair misses that healthy bounce, flexibility and radiant shine.
Dull Hair Causes
Dull hair can be caused by product build-up and general oil build-up from your scalp.
To make things that bit more confusing, dull hair can be a result of infrequent washing or over washing. Hard water minerals can cause hair to lose its luster and shine. While aging hair can become dull hair from a lack of nutrients and long-term exposure to sun, heat styling, chemicals or pollution.
HOW HAIR OILS CAN BRIGHTEN DULL HAIR & RESTORE SHINE
Think about the hair in the same way you would your skin. If your complexion was looking dull you would likely lean on exfoliators, hydration and oils to smooth, nourish and restore that healthy glow. Well, your hair requires that same level of TLC - tender loving care - . When you’re tackling dullness, you want to think about improving elasticity, increasing shine and strength through restoration.
