Hair Care Routine for Very Dry Hair
1. Choosing a Shampoo
✅ Choose a sulphate-free mild cleanser that contains:
• Jojoba oil
• Argan oil
• Keratin
• Panthenol
• Glycerin
• Ceramides
• Hyaluronic acid
💡 Shampoo your hair only 2–3 times a week to avoid excessive drying.
🚫 Avoid daily hair wash.
2. Pre-Wash Oiling
✨ Apply oil to the mid-length and ends of your hair for 30 minutes before hair wash.
✅ Oils you can use:
• Coconut oil
• Argan oil
• Almond oil
⚠ Skip scalp oiling if you have dandruff.
3. Conditioner
💖 Using conditioner after every hair wash helps to:
• Reduce frizz
• Improve softness
• Prevent dryness
✅ Choose a conditioner with:
• Cetyl / Stearyl / Cetearyl alcohol
• Dimethicone
• Panthenol
• Glycerin
• Hyaluronic acid
• Shea butter
• Argan oil
• Coconut oil
• Avocado oil
• Hydrolysed keratin or protein
How to use:
• Apply only on the hair length after washing
• Leave for 3–5 minutes
• Rinse thoroughly
• 🚫 Do not apply on the scalp
4. Leave-On Hair Serum
💧 Apply on damp hair.
✅ Silicone-based serums help reduce frizz.
Look for ingredients like:
• Argan oil
• Panthenol
• Keratin
5. Weekly Hair Mask
💖 Use a hair mask once a week.
How to use:

• A mild shampoo
6. Avoid Heat Gadgets
