The best moisturizing products for dry hair
Dry hair primarily needs care tailored to its needs. We particularly favor silicone-free formulas for dry hair: Silicones coat the hair’s surface with a film and provide temporary shine and easier manageability, but they do not nourish the hair from within. In particular, silicones that are difficult to wash out can build up with repeated use, making it harder for moisture and other nourishing ingredients to penetrate and weighing the hair down. Mild shampoos, conditioners and complementary hair masks with suitable nourishing ingredients help keep lengths soft and supple.
We have put together a selection of natural cosmetics shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and treatments, and leave-in care products, specially developed for the needs of dry hair. These products focus on gentle cleansing and nourishing ingredients that can make hair softer and add shine.
Finding the ideal hair care routine for dry hair
The ideal hair care routine for dry hair includes using a mild shampoo that does not strip the hair excessively, as well as a rich conditioner that leaves it soft and supple. Ingredients such as aloe vera juice and moisturizing ingredients can complement your hair care routine. Plant oils such as buriti oil, sacha inchi oil and apricot kernel oil nourish the hair’s surface and may help reduce moisture loss. Hydrolyzed quinoa, pomegranate extract and baobab proteins are also found in select hair care formulations.
About once or twice a week, you can also use a rich hair mask or treatment for extra care. Hair masks and treatments for dry hair may contain oils such as jojoba, almond, moringa or flaxseed oil, as well as squalane and nourishing extracts from pink lotus, hibiscus, rose of Jericho or silver ear mushroom (Tremella fuciformis). Hydrolyzed proteins from keratin, wheat or rice, and the amino acid arginine, can temporarily smooth the hair’s surface and improve manageability.
How often you wash your hair also depends on your scalp and hair type. Use a mild shampoo as needed and focus the cleansing on the scalp. Between washes, you can use dry shampoo as needed to absorb excess oil at the roots. If your scalp also tends to be dry, you can apply a suitable leave-in scalp treatment after washing or between washes.
The Right Way to Comb and Style Dry Hair
After washing, leave-in conditioners and hair oils are suitable for the lengths, while scalp toners and serums can be used on the scalp as needed. Frequent high-heat styling can put additional strain on the lengths. Let your hair dry as gently as possible, or use a low to medium temperature and a suitable heat protectant when blow-drying.
It is also important to treat your hair gently and avoid vigorously rubbing it dry while wet, as this can put additional strain on your hair. A soft bamboo viscose hair towel is ideal for gently drying your hair after washing. When detangling your hair, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to loosen knots, and comb the ends first, followed by the lengths, to reduce mechanical stress.
