Start in the shower. You may need to change up the routine and start using a more moisturizing conditioner. add a leave in as well depending on you hair texture either a cream (thick, course or curly hair) Or liquid spray for normal to fine types. It will add more moisture and protect the hair from and dryer damage. Try to use cool water. I know its cold out there! but really hot showers actually case the hair, skin and scalp to dry out and cause flaky dryness. if you ca find it try Wen Cleansing conditioner. This stuff is amazing for any hair texture and colour. Its a one step cleanser/conditioner/leave in. It does NOT lather, or contain sulfates, detergents. Will not strip colour or moisture from you hair. It feels amazing and doesn't leave a trace of greasiness on the hair.http://www.wenhaircare.com/whyitsunique.php
Washing hair daily is a no no. It is a great time to start using the dry shampoo. The more you wash they dryer you hair will get.
Go darker or richer with you hair color. Add a clear rinse or tone the hair down a couple of shades with a demi permanent. Garnier has a great selection of ammonia free gloss colours. if you don't want to go darker, try a gloss. It will close up the cuticle and add tons of shine to the dull locks. It can be done every 4 weeks to keep it up. darker hair will reflect more light and make even the most damaged hair look better. The lighter you are the dryer it will look if you don't like to style it.
Try to allow your hair to dry naturally if you can manage it. Blow dryers damage the hair and with the lack of humidity can cause the hair to get static. To prevent this. try not to shuffle you feet across the floor it builds up the electrical charge. Use a dryer sheet. Rub it on your hands and then rub through your hair. Static Guard sprayed on you brush or hands will also do the trick. Use natural bristle brush as apposes to nylon or plastic brushes. Ceramic or tourmaline irons a re great. The will neutralize the positively charged hair and remove the static.
Moroccan Oil is on every one's lips these days. This expensive little bottle of oil is turning up everywhere and there are many imitators. The line now boasts an entire regime around Argan Oil but does it actually work? We as consumers have to remember a couple things. All a company needs to take off is a couple celebrity endorsements and the marketing placebo will take effect. The ingredients say it all. Argan oil is a fantastic moisturizing oil that contains many anti oxidants, but so it Olive, Almond, Brazil Nut, Hemp Seed basically any nut really. It's fat and it will coat the hair. Hair my friends is dead. and antioxidants will do very little to "revitalize" it. One would need a great deal of this oil to coat the hair for and real noticeable benefits. And that would be outrageously expensive.
The other main ingredient is Silicone. Serums have been around forever and they deliver some smoothing effects to the hair. End result leave it looking shiny and feeling soft. Is it a miracle? Not really. Just overpriced oil. Check out the health food store and get some pure almond oils or cold pressed olive oil. Any cheap silicone spray, serum will work as well. Like anything this is a fad. If you like it by all means use it. But there are some cheaper options out there. Just remember that if you hair is thick, curly or coarse use a serum. If it's fine, thin, use a spray.
Cheap serums.. Citre Shine, Frizz Ease, Sebastian Laminates, L'Oreal Ever Sleek Serum, One and Only Argan Oil Treatment.
