Dry hair starts at the scalp. Think about it, if you've been laying out in the sun all day and don't put lotion on, your skin is going to feel dry and scaly. It is the same with your scalp. If your scalp is not moisturized, your hair won't be either.





First, look at the brand of shampoo and conditioner you are using. If it is the $3 Suave from Wal-Mart, then of course your hair is going to be dry. People want their hair to look good, but you can't skimp on product. Salon shampoos and conditioners are expensive but they work. Some good brands are Redken, TIGI, or Enjoy. These products restore the natural pH of hair, giving it back it's moisture. Cheap products contain lauryl sulfate which is the same thing that can be found in regular detergents. You know you would never wash your hair with Tide, so why buy S/C with that in it??





Once you get a good S/C, try to only shampoo your hair 2-3 times a week max to let your natural oils coat the hair. Each time you shampoo, your strip your hair of those natural oils. Make sure that you leave the conditioner on for at least 3 minutes and then rinse using cooler water to close the cuticle.





Try not to heat style your hair all the time (flat irons, blow dryers). These dry out the hair as well. Use a leave in conditioner or styling spray to act as a buffer when you do heat style your hair.





Make sure to get trims every few months to keep the breakage of your hair only at the ends. You do not want split ends traveling up the hair shaft or that hair ends up being damaged completely.





And finally, once every couple of weeks you can do a deep conditioning mask. And it's really easy to do at home. Find your favorite conditioner (Biolage makes a great conditioning balm), and coat the hair while it is damp. Take a shower cap and cover you head . Use a blow dryer as a heat source to allow the conditioner to penetrate the hair for about 15 minutes. Allow hair to cool for 5 minutes. Then rinse your hair using cool water. Your hair should stay soft for at least a week.
