Dry hair — especially dry ends — is extremely common. After all, your scalp is your hair's only natural moisture source, and it's a long way from the tips. Plus, as you age your scalp produces less oil, and your hair gets drier.
Dry weather can also zap the moisture from your strands. "Your hair needs different care in cooler weather than in the summer months," says hair restoration specialist Alan J. Bauman, M.D. You'll want to use products and treatments that infuse your hair with hydration — and avoid ingredients and styling tools that dry it out.
Implement these seven expert tricks, and your hair will look better in a week. Even though dry hair is common, it is avoidable.


While each cleansing conditioner may have slightly different instructions, you generally want to apply a generous amount of the product from roots to ends and let it soak in during your shower. Then, rinse it out, and you're ready to go.


Heavy deep conditioners will weigh down finer hair textures so be sure to choose one that's specifically formulated for your hair.

Olive oil and coconut oil are also excellent hair moisturizers. For a deep treatment, apply the oil to dry hair and wrap it in a damp, hot towel for 20 minutes. You'll need to shampoo (and condition) your hair to remove oily residue..
Note: A hot towel will always help natural oils penetrate, but it's not as necessary with avocado because of the molecule size.
