What Can I Do With Dry, Bad Hair?
When your hair is in bad shape, you know it. “It’s split ends, with no bounce or shine, little or no flexibility, very brittle,” says top New York-based stylist Harry Josh. New York Harry Josh who has certainly seen his share of it. (To his list we could add dullness, flatness, non-stop dryness, and color that loses its shine.) a lot, but the path back to shiny, bouncy, and healthy hair. The strength is the same regardless: a consistent hair care routine designed to nourish and revitalize.

Wash your hair less often
This allows the hair’s natural oils to keep the hair moisturized — something any hair type can benefit from. When washing your hair, avoid shampoos that are too strong (such as those with sulfates, which can clog your hair). Instead, use ones made with moisturizing oils and botanicals to keep your hair soft and elastic.

Smooth when leaving
Unless your hair is fine, add a hair conditioner to your routine (after conditioning, after showering). “Smooth straight hair can get greasy and too shiny, so you should leave the least amount of hair if that’s your hair type,” says Josh. But every other hair type benefits immensely from an extra step, whether you use spritz, conditioner or oil. Smooth or spray through towel-dried hair from tip to tip before styling as usual.

Status as deep as you mean it
Those who have undergone color treatment, heat styling, chemical straightening and soaking in the pool, sea or sun should never skip a weekly hair mask. “If you regularly dye your hair and it starts to dry out, applying a thick hair mask once a week for about three to five minutes will work wonders,” says Josh.

Use the highest quality Styling Kit
When you use heat tools, never turn them to the maximum heat setting to complete styling faster. Think of it like cooking: If you put oil in a hot pan, the oil smokes and burns. To avoid burning your hair, says Josh, choose tools with adjustable heat settings. “And for an extra layer of protection, apply heat protectant before using any hot tools,” he says. “It really works.”
