5 Pro Tips For Treating Dry Hair For Healthy-Looking Hair

Conditioner gets all the glory when it comes to treating dry hair, but your shampoo is just as important when it comes to gentle cleansing and scalp cleansing. The ideal shampoo is one that injects moisture into dry hair to also moisturize scalp, rather than stripping it. So opt for one with a gentle and moisturizing formula like Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Hydrating Shampoo. 

Hair is at its healthiest toward the root, partly because it is newly grown, but also because it benefits from the hydro-lipid oils produced by your scalp, which contribute to hair’s elasticity and hydration—nature’s own treatment for dry hair. Spread some of this love further south by brushing your hair regularly—and we’re not talking the usual daily detangle. One of our favorite tips for dry hair management is gently brushing or combing your hair 2-3 times a day for a couple of minutes each time.

Chlorine is dry hair’s worst enemy, but knowing how to get rid of dry hair caused by swimming is easy, so don’t throw in the towel just yet. Invest in a swimming cap to protect hair while you’re in the pool, and shampoo it thoroughly after your swim.

Colored hair is prone to dryness… but it doesn’t have to be. If you want to know how to help fix dry hair that’s been dyed, use a shampoo and conditioner duo that’s specially designed to restore moisture, such as Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner, or Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Strengthening Conditioner to defend against breakage for fuller-looking hair. When used as part of the Scalp + Hair Therapy Density Boost regimen, they even help fortify your color-treated hair.

If you’re treating dry hair, find a way to work products for hydration into every stage of your hair-care routine. Indulge in the Dove Fullness Restore Scalp Serum at least three times per week for beautiful, hydrated, thicker hair that’s touchably soft.
