What shampoo and conditioner should I use for dry hair?

I am an African American girl.I have wavy hair but it is very dry and sometimes frizzy and has dandruff. I usually wash my hair once a week. But I cant find a good shampoo for dry hair and for dandruff. Help please!What shampoo and conditioner should I use for dry hair?
While it鈥檚 impossible to know the proportion of the ingredients listed in a label, a good rule of thumb is the more ingredients listed, the better the shampoo. That鈥檚 because there鈥檚 only 3 categories of ingredients in a shampoo: cleansers, stabilizers, and conditioners. If there鈥檚 25 ingredients listed, chances are the product has a sophisticated mixture of more than one of each agent, which increases the odds that the product will leave your hair soft and manageable. And you鈥檒l know after the first use whether the product suits your hair.





To help you decide which combo of ingredients you want in a conditioning shampoo, here鈥檚 a list:





1. Proteins 鈥?amino acids, hydrolyzed proteins, keratin. (Eggs contain a protein that hair CANNOT absorb and adds no value to a product other than as a marketing tool.) This is good for the hair shaft. Nexxus Therappe, Revlon鈥檚 Flex Body Building Protein Shampoo, Revlon鈥檚 Milk Plus 6, Redmond鈥檚 Asuuie Mega Shampoo, Jhirmack鈥檚 Lite Frequent Use Shampoo.





2. Milk 鈥?for its protein, not for its fat. Good for split ends or damaged hair. Revlon鈥檚 Milk Plus





3. Balsam 鈥?excellent when combined with proteins. Adds volume by coating the shaft. Revlon鈥檚 Flex Body Building Protein Shampoo.





4. Vitamins 鈥?Panthenol found in B5 is absorbed into the shaft and helps strengthen it.





5. Moisturizers 鈥?lactic acid, lecithin, urea. Especially helpful for dry or over-colored hair. Revlon鈥檚 Milk Plus 6, Jhirmack鈥檚 Gelave.





6. Oils and waxes 鈥?avocado oil, coconut oil, wheat-germ oil. Provide a coating to retard water evaporation and the coat makes the hair look shiny and smooth. Beeswax and spermaceti also protect against water evaporation but aren鈥檛 as oily as the other oils.





7. Lemon 鈥?citric juice. Good way to strip accumulated oils and dirt for oily hair. Neitrogena Shampoo, Redmond鈥檚 Australian Hair Citrifier. You can also use a real lemon.





8. Allantoin 鈥?from the comfrey root. Good conditioner, increases the shaft鈥檚 water retention, is antidandruff, dissolves excess kerotin on the scalp or shaft. Nexxus鈥檚 Therappe.





9. Silk 鈥?coats the shaft and make it more reflective, and thus look shinier. Jhirmak鈥檚 Gelave, Alberto Natural Silk, Reinforcer鈥檚 Aqua Silk Shampoo.





10. Sunscreens 鈥?will add minor protection from the sun, but don鈥檛 assume it does for your hair what it does for your skin.





11. Polymers 鈥?almost all shampoos and conditioners have this and it鈥檚 a nice coating that adds volume, strength to hair. But it attracts moisture in the air and makes hair feel kind of sticky. It shouldn鈥檛 be a large component of the ingredients in the shampoo.What shampoo and conditioner should I use for dry hair?
Try motions or olive oil's products. If you perm your hair you can try olive oil's perms, it doesn't burn and you can choose the right type for your hair. Im african american myself and my hair is hard to deal with sometimes(lol). And during the weekdays that you don't use an iron or there is BB's oil moisturizer.


Good Luck
Get the Dark and Lovely Cholesterol Conditioner. You put it in your hair after you shampoo (it is the yellow stuff in the container with the pink lid). It makes your hair soft and treats the scalp after.
head and shoulders is great for dandruff.
