Dry Hair

Easily identifiable, dry hair looks and feels like straw, is usually split at the ends and is very dull and lifeless. Generally you are not born with dry hair-you make it dry. Any hair that has been bleached, permed or straightened will be dry. It needs a lot of care-oil treatments, acidic shampoos (and don't wash it every day or it may get even drier), and conditioners full of moisturizing ingredients such as proteins. (Those of us who color our hair should know that the process damages only the hair the chemicals touched-new growth will again be healthy. Miraculous, isn't it?)
