Dry weather in Nigeria, whether caused by heat, low humidity, or dusty air can quickly lead to dryness, breakage, and poor hair manageability, especially for natural hair.

- Hair becomes brittle and prone to breakage
- Scalp can feel dry or itchy
Common Hair Problems During Dry Weather
- Dry, dull-looking hair
- Increased shedding
- Tangling and knotting
