WASH
STEP ONE

STEP ONE 〰️
When washing dry hair, it's important to take a gentle approach to preserve moisture and prevent further damage. Use a hydrating, sulfate-free shampoo designed to cleanse your hair without stripping away its natural oils. Sulfates can cause dryness and brittleness, so opting for a moisturizing formula is key. Look for shampoos enriched with ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, or coconut oil, which help lock in hydration and keep your strands soft and nourished.
CONDITION

Select a moisturizing, nourishing conditioner specifically formulated for dry or damaged hair. After shampooing, apply the conditioner generously to damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, where dryness is most prominent. Avoid applying it to your scalp to prevent weighing your hair down. For added hydration, leave the conditioner in for 5–10 minutes (or as directed) before rinsing thoroughly.
TREAT
STEP THREE

To deeply hydrate dry hair, incorporate a weekly deep conditioning mask into your routine. These masks are packed with concentrated nourishing ingredients to repair and restore moisture. After shampooing, rinse your hair thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Apply the mask evenly, distributing it through your hair with a brush for even coverage. Leave it on for 5–15 minutes (or as directed), then rinse thoroughly to reveal softer, healthier hair.
STYLE

Maintain ongoing hydration by using a leave-in conditioner or hydrating spray to lock in moisture throughout the day, keeping your hair soft and manageable. Opt for lightweight formulas that provide deep hydration without weighing down your strands. When applying moisturizing serums or oils, focus on the ends to combat dryness. Avoid daily shampooing to allow your natural oils to balance, and minimize heat styling to prevent further moisture loss.
