Hair Awards 2016: Top 17 Ways To Nourish For Dry Hair

Rough and damaged hair gives way to smooth, silky tresses with these repairing treatments and at-home fixes.

June 30, 2016

Even if you were not born with dry hair, there are still many factors that can contribute to you ending up with coarse, unruly locks. Regular heat styling using blow dryers or flat irons, for example, can exacerbate the problem, so use a heat-styling serum that forms a cocoon over hair strands to prevent any damage. Similarly, washing your hair too frequently or using a shampoo that’s too harsh can strip your hair and scalp of natural oils. If you’re unable to reduce the frequency of shampooing, replenish lost moisture and nutrients with a lightweight conditioner, especially if you have long hair. If conditioners and hair masks are too much of a hassle, try hair oils or leave-in treatments that help repair and moisturise dry tresses as you go about your day. Just be sure to avoid applying nourishing products on the scalp as they could clog up hair follicles.
