- Dry hair is very fragile and needs special care. Be gentle when lathering and avoid any pulling or yanking. Dont scrub with your fingernails - this will not only irritate your scalp but can cause hair breakage. Brush your lock gently and never when its wet.
- Allow your hair to air dry wherever possible. When you must use your hairdryer blow drying hair should be done correctly - use it on a cooler temperature and aim it down the hair shaft.
- Be careful not to over wash your locks. Its very easy to strip away the natural oils if you wash it too often. Once or twice a week is enough.
- Rinse with water alone on off days.
- Use a moisturizing and nourishing shampoo. Use only a mild acidic shampoo that is labeled for dry or damaged hair. A good shampoo should have a pH of between 4.5 and 6.7. Look for ingredients like zinc pyrithione selenium sulfide or coal-tar.
- Condition after every shampoo. Condition your hair on a regular basis once a week is suggestedwith an intensive deep conditioning treatment. Use products that contain no alcohol which can dry out hair even more. In general conditioners with fragrance have alcohol so avoid them. If your hair is very dry use an overnight conditioner. Mayonnaise is a great natural conditioner. Leave it in your tresses for anywhere from 15-20 minutes before washing it out.
- If you can afford use a salon-grade shampoo and conditionerthese products contain less filler ingredients.
- Apply over-the-counter hot-oil treatment to repair dry damaged hair. Wear a shower cap over your hair while the hot oil is onrinse after 5 to 20 minutes.
- Reduce your use of hairspray mousse hair gels and styling creams that contain chemical ingredients. With excessive use they can easily irritate your scalp and damage your hair.

- Do not use mousse on brittle dry hair use a thickening lotion instead.
- Every six weeks snip off frayed ends.
- Beer is a good setting lotion to give healthy shiny look to dry hair. Spray it onto your locks using a pump bottle after shampooing but before you blow-dry.
