    Neutrogena Triple Moisture Cream Lather shampoo and conditioners work great on my (color treated) and DH's very dry hair.

    If you need a leave-in conditioner Brocato Saturation is excellent!

    ~When I was younger and used to swim alot my hair would get quite dry. Hot oil treatments worked very well for me. Pantene Pro-V also has amazing results after 2 weeks of use.~

    I like both the L'oreal Pro Vive line, they do have one marketed specifically for dry hair, I think it comes in a yellow bottle with a hot pink label?

    Also the Giovanni line is excellent too.


    You can also do a at home hot oil treatment.
    Coconut oil is excellent for this, but in a pinch, olive oil works well for alot of people. If you don't have a heat cap (which they do sell at Sally Beauty Supply and is excellent for deep conditioning treatments), you could wet a towel in a sink of really hot water, ring it out well and then place it on your head for about 30 min.

    Every once in a while, when my hair is really dry, I will take some olive oil and rub it in my hair, leave it on for about 15 min to 1/2 hour....however long I want or however long I have before my shower, and then I will wash it out. If you have a way to leave it in overnight without getting your pillow yucky, that would be great. (and worth a try since most of us have it in our house and you don't need much)

    I like Bath and Body Works moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. I bought several last year when they were on sale for $3 a piece, and I wish I had bought more.

    Aussie moisturizing products work well, too. I have dry, porous, semi-curly hair, so good moisturizing products are a must for me.

    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.


    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference
    .

    My favourite is Bumble & Bumble's Creme de Coco shampoo followed by their Super-Rich conditioner. Not only does it make your hair feel like it's been on vacation from all the harsh chemicals, it also makes you smell SOOOOO good! Available in salons only, though, but worth it. I buy the super big economy size. Expensive for a one time purchase, but you can get by on one pump of each per washing, because it is so thick and rich, and it lasts forever. I think I buy one per year.

    Boilage Balm, Nexxus Therappe - Humectress and Aussie's 3 minute Miracle were 3 of my favs while growing up and are very good, now I have Philosophy's Sheer Splendor and I really like that too! The 3 minute miracle is probably the most economical..but it works great, it is now my daughter's fav and she has dry slightly frizzy/ curly hair.
