How to restore dry hair
Just like skin, our hair can also react to the changes in atmosphere, especially in the winter. Similarly to how the complexion can be prone to dryness in the colder months, hair can also become parched of moisture, leaving it looking dull and flat. Added to by any heat styling, chemical dyes and UV damage, hair can become extremely dry leading to more than just the odd split end, but damage at the cuticle level. Thankfully, we have the best nourishing haircare products and tips that will help restore moisture and seal cuticles so that you don't have to chop it all off!
Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner
Bring your hair back to life with a gentle and hydrating shampoo and conditioner that won't strip the hair of any more moisture and will work to nourish and repair strands. The OGX Damage Remedy+ Coconut Miracle Oil Shampoo and Conditioner uses a blend of Coconut Oil, Vanilla Bean and Tiare Flower extract that locks in hydration to reduce the appearance of split ends and leave tresses noticeably softer. The coconut oil in the formula works to add moisture to keep your mane manageable, smooth and shiny, helping to prevent any further dryness.

Don't wash too often
Though modern shampoos and conditioners are now formulated to maintain moisture and nourish the hair, the main culprit for hair dryness is the water you use to rinse your nourishing products off! To prevent drying out the hair further by over washing, opt for a dry shampoo to keep strands cleansed and fresh between washes. The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo makes second day hair look freshly washed using a weightless formula that uses Triple-Action Cleaning Technology to eliminate sweat and odour.

Use a heat protector
One of the biggest causes of dry hair is heat styling. Though we don't want you to give up the straighteners forever, if your hair is extremely damaged, it is a good idea to cut down on the heat for at least a little while, or try to go longer between styling opting for an up-do where possible to give your mane time to recover. However, if you do choose to style, protect your hair from any additional dryness by using a heat protective spray such as the Redken One United Multi-Benefit Treatment. Offering 25 hair benefits, the spray not only protects from extreme temperatures, but also reduces dryness, conditions and helps to seal the hair cuticle, locking in moisture.
