First I'd figure out what's causing your dry hair. If you're styling constantly or using damaging products (hairspray is particularly bad for hair because of the high alcohol content) then obviously I'd say cut down and/or eliminate these altogether.

If outside influences aren't causing your problem and your hair is simply dry by nature, then putting all the conditioner in the world on it will help very little (as you said you've tried)

My advice would be to start taking supplements that promote healthy, strong hair. Flax seed oil, Omega-3 fats and biotin are known for this; they're available at health food stores.

I have very dry hair, how can i improve texture of my hair?

Buy a really good Ultra Omega-3 supplement and increase vitamin A to 8000 mg a day. If you drink a lot of alcohol, then you'll have to work even harder to correct your dry hair. You must fix this problem from the inside, not by using expensive conditioners on the outside.

Let鈥檚 Talk About Dry Hair

Dry hair can be a problem whether your hair is tinted or natural. The expansion of the

hair shaft from the summer sun can be a delight for thin hair but disastrous for others.

What causes dry hair?

Dry hair can be inherited from birth although this isn鈥檛 recognizable from infancy. As we

age the dryness increases, just like our skin. Another reason for dryness can be foiling,

tinting, bleaching or perming hair that robs the natural moisture from the hair.

Blow drying, curling iron鈥檚, sun and salt wind are all contributing factors for this problem.

Even the things we eat can provide nutrients or the lack of. Should we choose to eat

the foods that offer nothing but calories our hair will also reveal this. Fish with its

natural oils will bring much needed health to your body and hair. It takes about 3 days

for the nourishment of what we鈥檝e eaten to go to our hair.

Another tip is old fashioned brushing from the roots following out to the ends. It is like

a home health treatment to your scalp and hair. Today few brush their hair, yet it

promotes growth, increases circulation and moisture. This takes time and discipline but

the rewards can be radiant.

Exercise also promotes hair health. This doesn鈥檛 mean that if you have thin dry hair

tomorrow it will be thick and a normal texture. But you should begin to see improve-

ment in about a month.

A good hydrated moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner is a must.

Look for moisture or hydrate on the products you seek. Forget oil treatments as they

do not go into the hair shaft but are good for the outer layer, coating it like a hat.

Moisture is what you need, because moisture is what is lost. Drink a lot of water. Not

only will this help prevent wrinkles but help give the moisture to your hair. If you put a

teaspoon of cod liver oil in your juices in the morning, eventually you will see a real

difference in your skin and hair. Few will stop covering their silver strands with tint to

prevent dryness so we have to replace the oils that are lost through this process.

Does your hair color have anything to do with dryness? What about

being a redhead? Natural redheads have the thickest hair of them all

and usually begin with a normal to oily lush rich mane. As the redheads

age and the gray begins to come through dryness eventually creeps in.

Brunettes usually begin with a lovely sheen and depending on their

health and lifestyle go either way.

Brownettes, being closer to blonde lean toward dryness as the sun

easily bleaches the top covering of the hair.

Light Platinum Blondes are usually very dry and reacts exactly like it

has been bleached.

Medium Blondes can go either way and have a combination of oily scalp and dry ends,

as does dark blondes. All of this depends upon heredity and lifestyle.

Thin hair can be oily or dry. I鈥檝e seen both. Most thin hair seems to be dry. Thick hair

can have a combination of an oily scalp and dry ends. This is why brushing your hair

can be such an asset to you. You take the natural oils from the foods you鈥檝e eaten

with a nice stiff brush from your scalp and bring them out to your ends. The old time

phrase of brushing your hair 100 times every night really does work.

Always brush your hair before you shampoo it as it loosens and lifts up the debris

much easier.

Rolling your hair with old fashioned rollers are much healthier than a curling iron or

heat rollers. Besides, did you know rollers are back? Your style will last so much longer

too. For added strength and bounce avoid dryer heat at all costs. Think of things you

can do while waiting for it to dry. Make a grocery list, talk on the phone, check your

email, write a letter, rock the baby, dust, mop, do dishes or even floss your teeth.

Don鈥檛 say you don鈥檛 have time. Make a list of things that need to be done and check

them off as you go. You will discover you have more time than you鈥檝e ever had.

You can do it!

Simple Solution:

printer friendly version

Radiator heat, blow-dryers, deodorant soap and dehumidifiers can all rob you of the moisture you desperately need. That can leave your hair brittle and strawlike and your skin flaky and dry, especially in the winter.

The natural remedies here, used with your doctor's approval, may help relieve dry hair and skin, according to some health professionals.

See your medical doctor when you have redness, oozing, crusting or other signs of irritation.

AROMATHERAPY

To help chronically dry skin retain more of its natural moisture, Fair Oaks, California, aromatherapist Victoria Edwards recommends this fragrant face and body oil: Add ten drops each of the essential oils lavender, Roman chamomile, neroli, rosemary and carrot seed to two ounces of a carrier oil such as almond, olive or sesame. (Carrier oils are available in most health food stores.) Apply the oil once a day after your bath or shower, while your skin is still slightly damp, says Edwards.

To make dry hair silky and manageable, add six drops each of lavender, bay and sandalwood essential oils to six ounces of warm sesame or soy oil, suggest Greenwich, Connecticut, aromatherapist Judith Jackson. To apply the oil, says Jackson, part your hair into one-inch sections and apply the mixture to the scalp with a wad of cotton. Wrap your head in a towel and let the oils penetrate for about 15 minutes, then shampoo twice, she says.

FOOD THERAPY

"Eat fish at least twice a week," suggests author Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D. The oil in salmon, herring and other cold water fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help replenish lost moisture in dry skin and hair, according to Dr. Mindell.

Up to two tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day can also help replenish hair and skin oils, says Julian Whitaker, M.D. It has a nutty-buttery taste, so you can use it as a topping on popcorn, potatoes or other foods you might otherwise flavor with butter, he says. Flaxseed oil is available in most health food stores.

REFLEXOLOGY

To deal with dry skin, pay special attention to the thyroid and adrenal gland reflexes on your hands and feet, says reflexologist and author Dwight Byers. To help you locate these points, consult hand and foot reflex charts.

The average human head has 150,000 hairs, and, conformists that they are, when one's dry, they're all dry. But unlike a dry flower garden or polished rice, the solution is not simply to add water. Water, in fact, may be responsible for the hair's parched condition, particularly if we're talking about water of the salty, chlorinated, or sudsy variety.

Swimming and overshampooing are two common causes of arid, fly-away locks, says Jack Myers, director of the National Cosmetology Association. Other culprits, he says, can include colorings, permanents, electric curlers, excessive blow-drying, and too much exposure to wind and sun.

Whatever the culprit, your poor, abused hair needs help鈥攂adly. You can almost hear all 150,000 of them down on their little split ends, pleading, "Save me! Save me!" Here's a quick course on how to rescue dried-out hair.

Shampoo with care. "It's in vogue these days to shampoo every day, but shampooing doesn't only wash away dirt, it washes out the hair's protective oils," says Thomas Goodman, Jr., M.D., a dermatologist from Memphis, Tennessee, and assistant professor at the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences. If you've dried your hair out from too much lather, give your hair a needed break鈥攖ry washing less often. And use only a mild shampoo, one labeled "for dry or damaged hair."

The Alternate Route

A Topical, Tropical Blend

If you've ever wondered what the hairdresser to big Hollywood stars uses to condition her own hair, wonder no more. "I take old bananas, rotten and black, and mash the together with mushy, rotten avocado," says Hollywood hairdresser Joanne Harris.

"I came back from the beach one day, and there was no conditioner in the house, but I did have an old banana and an old avocado. I tried it and I loved it! It has lots of nutrients, so it feeds my hair and nurses it," says Harris.

She recommends you leave the tropical puree in your hair for 15 minutes, and then wash it out in the kitchen sink鈥攑referably one with a garbage disposal to avoid clogging the pipes.

Use a conditioner. When hair becomes dry, the outer layers, called cuticles, peel off from the central shaft. Conditioners glue the cuticles back to the shaft, add lubricant to the hair, and prevent static electricity (which creates frizz). Pick a conditioner that works well for you and use it after every shampoo, says Dr. Goodman.

Go heavy on the mayo. "Mayonnaise makes an excellent conditioner," says Steven Docherty, senior art director at New York City's Vidal Sassoon Salon. He advises you to leave the oily white goo in your hair for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour before washing it out.

Snip off those frayed ends. Dry hair tends to suffer most at the ends. The answer? Snip 'em off, says Anja Vaisanen, a hair stylist at New York City's stylish Suga Salon. Once every six weeks or so should keep those frayed ends under control.

Design your hair without heat. Heat is what makes the desert a desert; it also contributes to dried-out hair. Two of the most intense sources of heat are curling irons and electric curlers, says Joanne Harris, a hairdresser in Los Angeles whose clients include many Hollywood stars. She suggests you rediscover those (unheated) plastic cylinder rollers from years gone by. For straightening, wrap slightly moist hair under and around rollers (like a page boy hairdo) for about 10 minutes. For curling or adding wave, try using sponge rollers overnight or sleeping with moist braids.

Protect your hair from the elements. "Whipping wind can fray your hair just like a piece of fabric," says Docherty. Sun, too, takes a mighty toll. Solution: Wear a hat, both on breezy, balmy summer days, and gusty, frosty winter days.

Don't swim bare headed. "Chlorine is one of the most destructive things to hair," says Docherty. So make a rubber cap part of your regular swim attire. For extra protection, he says, first rub a little olive oil into your hair.

Have a beer. "Beer is a wonderful setting lotion. It gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look, even to dry hair," says Docherty. The trick is to spray the brew onto your hair using a pump bottle after you've shampooed and towel-dried, but before you blow-dry or style. And don't worry about smelling like a lush鈥攖he odor of the beer quickly disappears,

I recommend that you use the "Paul Mitchell" moisture range. This range of hair care products WILL provide your hair with the moisture that you desire. The products contain the Awaphui plant which is a native plant to Hawaii, that will re hydrate you dry hair. I would use the super charged moisturiser (an intense moisture treatment) on a weekly basis. Use the instant moisture shampoo and the instant moisture daily treatment as your shampoo and conditioner. "Paul Mitchell" also has a product called the Super Skinny Serum, which is a must have. It reduces your drying time by 30% and is also a heat protectant for the hair. If you really want to re hydrate your dry hair, take my advise. It WILL work for you.

I had the exact same problem. I have been using the Sunsilk line (they sell it everywhere) of shampoo and conditioner. They have one that is for dry hair (it comes in the pink bottle) and just a few days later everyone was complementing me on how soft my hair was. Every two weeks or so, I use a clairifying shampoo to get all of the build up off.

I had hair that looked and felt like straw! There was no way that I could even stretch it a little bit without it breaking! My hair was way over-processed! Neutrogena has this awesome hair mask called "Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask" Its intensive moisture treatment that rescues even the dehydrated hair strands. Trust me this stuff really works great! I can stretch my hair really far now before it snaps. I bought mine at Meijers for around $6 or $7 dollars. Its well worth the money! Bye the way! It says to rinse out after you leave it in for 3-5 minutes, but after rinsing mine out I put a little in the palm of my hand and worked it through my hair then towel dryed it and it was alot easier to comb my hair out. So, I recommend to use it as a leave in conditioner. You will love the way it makes your hair smell too!
