Combination hair

Combination hair is hair that is oily at the roots and dry at the ends, a situation that occurs when the scalp's natural oils, or sebum, don't effectively travel down the hair shaft to the tips. This imbalance can be caused by hair textures like curly or long hair that prevent oil distribution, or by damage that makes the ends brittle and parched. Managing combination hair involves balancing scalp oiliness with moisture for the ends, which can be achieved through gentle washing, applying conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends, using hair masks, and utilizing tools like dry shampoo at the roots and heat protectant when styling.
