Coarse hair always seems to be all over the place. They basically are always out of place, no matter what you do to them. If you have coarse hair, I am sure, it's a bad hair day for you, everyday! The frizzy and perpetually dry looking hair, leave very little room for hair care, and for you to experiment with different hairstyles. Thus, tying them up is your only option for coarse hair. To make your problem worse, coarse hair feels dry, bristly and rough to touch, and I'd rather not even start on the hair loss worries that must be plaguing you! Hence, when you leave your coarse hair open, it keeps poking your skin, which often leads to skin irritation. Moreover, coarse hair are rather difficult to grow and take care of. So given below are the various coarse hair care remedy options.
Taking Care of Coarse Hair
Haircut
I have curly dry coarse hair. For me, long locks have been a dream. But, let me tell you, that not cutting your hair, is not going to get you anywhere. Usually, most people with coarse hair would agree, that the ends of the hair strands, get discolored, get split ends and feel extremely rough. They may be long, but they are an old bunch of hair, which are not going to grow into beautiful locks. So, you need to get a haircut and go in for some coarse hair removal options by getting rid of those ends or the layer of rough useless hair, to make a fresh and a healthy start. Hence, see a professional hair dresser, who'll brief you on the various haircut styles and ideas, so that you can get a good haircut which will help you improve coarse hair texture gradually.
Hair Wash
Coarse hair is very porous. This means, that it absorbs chemicals, moisture and dirt very quickly. Hence, coarse hair has to be washed on a regular basis. While washing coarse hair, make sure that you use a mild shampoo and not a harsh one. Usually, anti-dandruff shampoos are hard on hair. Also, while washing your hair, don't forget to condition them, for which you can use a hair conditioner for dry hair. Condition your hair, especially the ends, on a regular basis and every time you wash your hair. Deep conditioning, at least twice a week, is mandatory for thick coarse hair. You will also find hair care products, like coarse hair shampoo in the market, which will suit your hair. Before washing your hair, make sure that you've combed them thoroughly and removed all the knots, to avoid tangles. Read more on how to wash your hair.
Hair Drying
Though, curly coarse hair absorb moisture quickly, they also, dry out easily. If you frequently use a hair dryer to blow dry your hair, please avoid it. Hair dryers, use unnecessary heat on your hair, which cause a lot of damage. We often, use hair dryers for setting the hair in a certain style, which causes immense loss of moisture from the hair. So, if you have coarse hair texture, let your hair dry naturally. Read more on hair moisturizing treatment.
Coarse Hair Care
Thick coarse hair, break easily and are more prone to split ends. Hence, for proper damaged hair care, every time you go out, cover your hair, to avoid the 'wind blowing in' effect. The wind leads to friction of strands of hair, which results in irreparable damage of your hair. Similarly, if you have coarse hair, tie your hair up or better still, braid them, while sleeping, for proper hair loss prevention.
