Q: "What should I do if I have really dry hair?"
A: If you have dry hair, it's essential to take steps to moisturise and nourish it to restore its health and vitality. Read on for my recommendations...
Q: "What are the best products to use for dry hair?"
A: The best products for dry hair are those that provide hydration, repair and protection. Look for the following types of products:
Moisturising shampoo and conditioner
Choose a sulphate-free shampoo and a hydrating conditioner that are specifically formulated for dry or damaged hair. These products help lock in moisture and prevent further drying.
Deep conditioning treatments
Use deep conditioning masks or treatments once a week to provide intensive hydration. Look for products containing ingredients like shea butter, argan oil or keratin to repair and nourish your hair.
Leave-in conditioner
A leave-in conditioner can be applied to damp hair after washing to provide ongoing moisture and protection. It helps detangle, reduce frizz and make your hair more manageable.
Hair oils
Argan oil, coconut oil or jojoba oil are excellent options to apply to the ends of your hair to lock in moisture and add shine. Use a small amount and focus on the driest areas.
Heat protectant
If you use heat styling tools, a heat protectant spray is a must. It shields your hair from damage caused by heat and helps maintain moisture.
Serums and hair creams
Look for serums and creams that are designed to combat frizz and add shine. They can help keep your hair looking healthy and well-hydrated.
Scalp care products
Sometimes, dry hair is linked to an unhealthy scalp. Use a gentle, moisturising scalp shampoo and conditioner to maintain a balanced and nourished scalp.
Limit heat styling
Reducing the use of heat styling tools and opting for low-heat settings can help minimise damage and prevent further drying of your hair.
Trim regularly
Schedule regular hair trims every 6 to 8 weeks to remove split ends and maintain the overall health of your hair. See my blog on this topic.
Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet
Proper hydration and a diet rich in essential nutrients can have a positive impact on your hair's moisture levels.
In summary
Remember that the best products for your dry hair may vary depending on your hair type and specific needs. It's a good idea to consult with a Salon 78 professional stylist to determine the most suitable products and hair care routine for you. We can help - book your appointment today.
