Stay safe when you style.
We all know by now that styling can dry out and damage hair – but there's no need to step away from the styling tools. When you’re caring for dry hair, just add nourishing products to your washing routine, like Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. With every use, they strengthen and moisturize for 10x more resilient hair*. So, they’ll help to protect against heat damage and treat dryness all at once – giving you the best of both worlds

Avoid products not tailored to you.
Products for dry hair care are there for a reason: washing your hair too often can wash out natural oils, so if you're not using moisturizing products, dry hair can feel even drier. With the nourishing powers of our Daily Moisture range, you can wash your hair every day, and you'll still notice the difference – with shinier, stronger hair* that you can show off

Back away from the hairbrush…
…When your hair is wet, that is. Brushing when it's wet can cause damage, especially to dry or brittle hair, so switch your hairbrush for a wide-toothed comb instead. Try combing your hair before rinsing out your conditioner, too – it will glide through with less chance of breakage

Turn to a trim.
Still feel like the ends of your hair need a bit of extra love?

There's really only one effective treatment for dry hair caused by split ends: book in with your stylist as soon as you can. With a few inches trimmed off, your hair will be back to its soft, smooth best
