We can notice diversity all around us. Every individual’s body is unique and reacts differently. Hair, in general, can be long, short, thick, thin, straight, wavy or curly.

It can become very tricky to handle such hair textures after a point. Lack of good care will, in turn, lead to hair fall and dandruff issues. Some symptoms and signs of dry hair include lack of lustre, brittle, split ends, dandruff, itchy scalp, to name a few.Dryness of hair is a common thing among men and women but it is not a serious health issue.
