How to you get the natural oils back in your hair?

Question

this is probably a stupid question but i wash my hair too much and it's kinda dry and brittle. or maybe it might be the salt water when i go surfing?

Answer 1

The obvious answer is, when you have dug yourself into a hole, stop digging! You already KNOW you wash your hair too often, you even SAY so, so this is a no-brainer, stop washing so often and use a decent conditioner! Or as Homer would say, "D-OH!"

Answer 2

Salt water dries out your hair, so does washing it every day with shampoo. Try not shampooing it as much only 2-3x a week. You can condition every day though. Your hairs natural oils help strengthen your hair and makes it grow longer. Stripping them with shampoo makes your hair dry and produce more because it's not getting any.
