Dry hair that’s dull, unmanageable and frizzy can affect your confidence, but it doesn’t have to – all it needs is a little TLC. Swimming, heat and hair colour (and even just water in general) can all deplete essential hair-conditioning lipids, but don’t worry, knowing how to fix dry hair is easy with these essential tips for dry hair.

1
The power of oils.
If you haven’t discovered the joys of hair oil yet, now’s the time. Just a few drops of your favourite hair oil can help nourish dry hair, leaving it touchably soft and visibly shiny
2
Progressive nourishment.
When it comes to conditioner as a treatment for dry hair, use the richest one you can find. For very dry hair, Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo is great, giving all the power of a hair mask in a minute. Plus its non-greasy formula progressively, for hair that looks and feels better over time
3
Damage protection.
Dry hair is vulnerable to damage, so try to use a deep conditioning mask a few times a week alongside your regular dry hair treatment to keep your strands nourished and protected
4
Heat protection.
As a simple dry hair treatment, when heat styling, make sure you take good care of your locks: use a low heat setting and always use a heat protection spray
5
UV defence.
And talking of heat, the sun can dry out our hair, too – keep it protected with a leave-in conditioner containing UV filters
6
Omega 3.
What you eat can have a huge effect on dry hair – including Omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods like oily fish could help top up your hair’s oil reserves
