Any tips to take care of dry hair?

Use a moisture infused shampoo and conditioner such as the ThermaSilk shampoo and conditioner line. It's a little bit more expensive then the regular shampoos, but it's totally worth it. It also protects from heat styling, so it won't dry out your hair. You can also use BioSilk (not related to ThermaSilk) on your hair when it is wet OR dry (make sure to only use a dime sized amount). It makes it silky and soft. It's also pretty expensive at some stores like Target and Walmart (can be $15.00 for the small bottle), but you can get it at Costco for a better price. I use both of these products, and they work SO well!

Dry hair is caused by heat, an open cuticle, chemicals applied to the hair, and poor maintenance.

SOLUTIONS:

1) Less or no heat. When blow drying, use a cooler setting and do not blow dry until the is completely dry.

2) Use acidifiers. Acidifiers close the cuticle down and lock in moisture. Acidifiers have a pH of 2.5 to 3.5. They have a lower pH than hair does in an aqueous solution.

3) Color, perms, relaxers, and other chemicals are sometimes a necessary evil. They rob the hair of humectants. Humectants attract and retain moisture (water) in the cortical layer of the hair. Try to use low ammonia -low peroxide color. Do not leave neutralizer on too long with perms. If possible avoid relaxers.

4) Treat your hair. Replace lost humectants with essential fatty acids (lipids), acidify your hair, use low pH products, use cool water. Replace what was taken out to make your hair dry. Also eat a diet full of essential fatty acids (in moderation and non-animal {no cholesterol}).

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1) Get a good low pH shampoo. High pH shampoos lift the cuticle allowing moisture to evaporate. Here are a few great shampoos for dry hair:

Sunset Hair Elements (Moisturizing) Shampoo (Best Pick)

Matrix Biolage Hydrating Shampoo

Paul Mitchell Moisture and Shine (Creatives)

Redken Moisturizing Shampoo

2) Replace lipids. Your scalp produces sebum. This is the hairs' natural source of lipids or essential fatty acids (EFA's.) If your hair grows past your neck line; The hair makes no or little contact with the body. If you use heat (irons, rollers, blow drying), your hair will get depleted of EFA's.

Sunset Hair Elements (Vanilla Bean) Treatment

Paul Mitchell Hair Repair

3) Acidify. Acidifiers lock the lipids and moisture in the cortex. They are probably the single most important step to good hair. They maintain good hair.

Sunset Hair Elements Hair Re-Balancer

Nexxus Ensure

Redken Extreme

Paul Mitchell "The Rinse"

4) Other -

my hair gets like that occasionally and i will either shampoo it with mayonaisse, then reg shampoo or what i have done lately is use skin so soft from avon. i got the bath oil in a spray bottle and will spray my hair, especially the ends, and leave it in as long as i can stand it. when i can't handle having my hair feel oily, i'll shampoo it out. it shines for days, but more importantly gets the protein it needs. i have heard ppl putting their hair in a bag with eggs, but it's too messy for me. treat your hair like a plant, don't overabuse it and give it the nutrients it needs.
