Dry Hair in Poway? Here’s What’s Causing It and How to Fix It

If your hair feels rough, brittle, or dull, it’s probably not just your shampoo. Poway’s dry air and sunny weather can take a toll on your hair without you even realizing it. The good news is, there are a few easy ways to bring the moisture back.

Here’s what might be drying your hair out and how to fix it.

1. Hard Water

Poway’s water has a decent amount of minerals in it. That buildup can leave your hair feeling rough and harder to manage. Installing a shower filter can make a big difference, especially if your hair never feels fully clean or soft after washing.

2. Dry Air and Sun Exposure

The weather here is usually nice, but that also means lots of sun and low humidity. That combo dries your hair out over time, especially if you’re out in it every day. Wearing a hat when you’re outside for long stretches helps, and so does using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection.

3. Overwashing

You don’t need to wash your hair every single day. Doing that can strip your scalp of its natural oils, which protect and moisturize your hair. I usually tell clients to aim for 2 to 3 times a week with a quality conditioner.

4. Heat Styling

Flat irons, blow dryers, and other heat tools will suck the moisture right out of your strands if you’re not careful. Always use a heat protectant, and if you can, give your hair a break in between styles.

What I Recommend

If you’re dealing with dry hair in Poway, the fix usually starts with a good routine. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, skip the daily wash, and lock in moisture with a light styling cream or oil. A regular trim also helps get rid of dry ends that can make your hair feel worse.
