A dehydrated hair can be very electric, so difficult to dress. It can easily broke with the wind and sun exposure because of the lack of hydration... A dehydrated hair may happen after an hair color, to much warm and sun and with a bad body hydratation (so drink a lot ;) ).

A dry hair has a lack of nutrients. Your head has no sebum (or not a lot), your hair knot up easily and have forks. This may happen because of hair colors and products but also by genetics!
