Q&A for How to Turn Dry Hair to Healthy Hair

Use a mild shampoo and wash your hair only once or twice a week. Apply shampoo only to the roots and condition your hair every time you wash it.

Dryness can be caused by chemical damage, weather, over-shampooing, or using the wrong products. Most people wash their hair more often than they need to. Try shampooing less frequently if your hair is dry.

You can temporarily add strength and shine with treatment products. However, you cannot permanently repair hair that has been damaged.

If your hair has always been dry, try to shampoo no more than once a week and use a mild shampoo followed by a deep conditioner. If the dryness is a result of damage, try a protein-rich conditioner to add strength and hydration.

In order to have healthy hair, you should refrain from washing your hair every day and avoid heat when styling as much as possible. Be sure to use the proper shampoo and conditioners for your hair, which will depend on whether your hair is dyed or natural. When shopping for products, avoid products containing parabens and sulfates. These can break down and dry out your hair. You can also use hair oils like argan oil to help add some shine to your hair.

I would recommend doing a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Use an essential oil, and warm it up before applying it to your hair, or apply heat with a hairdryer while the oil sits on your hair.

Something has changed in the last three months. Perhaps you've changed your diet, started taking a new medication, tried a different hair care regimen, or had a chemical treatment. Any of these could cause dryness.

If you believe that your hair is dry and unhealthy due to the medication that you’re taking, it would be best to consult your doctor.

No, washing your hair excessively will only make your split ends worse. The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them off.

You can try doing a simple ponytail, loose plaits or braids. Be careful to not do them too tight, keep them loose.

Use a hair mask to hydrate your hair, along with certain oils you can massage into your scalp to hydrate it. If your hair is falling out when you shampoo your hair, I suggest you try a shampoo that is supposed to moisturise your scalp. Try to massage gently. Keep in mind, however, that a small amount of hair fallout is normal.

Your hair could naturally be dry and frizzy. But breakage or lack of moisture can also make it appear frizzy. If you aren't conditioning your hair or shampooing it too much, you could be stripping your hair of moisture. Remember to condition, use hair masks, and add argan or coconut oils to your hair if necessary.

Leaving oil in hair for a long time attracts dust and might not benefit your hair that much. Also, try hot oil treatments once in a while (wrapping your hair in a hot towel after oiling). Apart from this, if you're not averse to the smell, apply curd for 30-45 mins (it works even better when mixed with soaked and mashed fenugreek seeds). While doing any of these, don't forget to cover your hair so as to not let the curd dry or it might make your hair brittle.

You can use coconut oil. Leave it overnight, and when you shampoo it, your hair will be shiny and soft. Don't wash your hair every day, as this can strip it of natural oils.

Dove Dry Oil Shampoo three times a week of one application, conditioner, and Dove Hair Care Oil. You can also add one or two drops of Johnson Baby Oil to dry hair, it will look and feel soft and shiny.

Try to use natural, sulfate-free products. There are a lot of great high-end hair care brands, if you can afford them - they really make a difference. Alterna is a great brand, and its Replenishing Moisture shampoo/conditioner are especially good for dry hair.

When your hair is still damp, rub a few drops of oil over the length of your hair and some more on the tips. Your hair will quickly absorb the oil and should not feel oily afterward. Use pure, unprocessed, chemical-free oils. Best oils to use would be argan, coconut, or olive oil.

If you are a guy go for a buzz cut, it helps your hair cycle to rejuvenate, and you won't lose your locks. If you are a girl, consider a deep conditioning treatment and let the color fade and grow out.

Try and swim on alternative days. If not possible, try a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. Wear caps as often as possible. The next morning, put a very small amount of coconut oil in your hair and lather it all over. You could also try a mask of mayo (mayo contains eggs and oil, both which will strengthen your hair); leave it on for 20 - 30 minutes and then rinse it off.

It depends on how damaged your hair is and what oils, products, etc. you use. If your hair is super damaged, it might take months to restore it back to a healthy state.

Oils are not created equally. Coconut and jojoba oils penetrate into the deepest layers of each hair strand when left in long enough. I've read as long as 18 hours for full penetration. The amount of shampooing it takes to remove the oil may make it appear counterproductive, so try a silicone-free deep treating hair mask or one of the DIY hair masks. See if that makes a difference. Use one you apply to clean shampood hair and then rinse out (without shampoo), then apply a good leave in or detangler that has continual moisturizing properties for best results.

A protein treatment may suffice. Aphogee or Joico K-pak are good brands to try.

Get regular trims, every two months or so, and don't use heat on it.

I would recommend coconut oil and maybe black castor oil.

Try using TOPPIK (hair building fibers). It can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Do sort of a "hair rehab." To, start, stop using heat. Heat is going to kill your wave pattern. Start washing your hair with a natural shampoo, as they are generally more gentle and better overall for your hair. Each week, use a deep conditioner and really focus it on the ends. When you get out of the shower, put a light oil (I prefer argan oil) on the ends of your hair. I prefer showering at night so I can let my hair air dry a bit, then braid it (French/Dutch braids work best) and got to bed. I would leave the braids in for a day or two, then take them out and you should have lovely wavy hair!

"Aussie" is an Australian conditioner. It moisturizes well and smells absolutely great. You can order it online or find it in stores worldwide.

You can add natural oils or choose gels that provide a "wet" look.

Start by using the cream less often. Schedule a good trim with your hair stylist soon, and take a little bit off. When you go to bed, braid your hair.

You put oil on it and clip it up before going to bed. If it still doesn't work for you, you can clip up your bangs when going out and grow them out.
