I'm Emily Golie, professional hairstylist, and we're going to talk today about tips for super dry hair. Some of the things that you'll want is a great conditioning treatment or mask of some kind, also a great heat protectant before you apply heat to your hair is very important for dry hair and a great serum after the hair has been dried. The more you wash your hair, the more oil has to be produced from your scalp so therefore, it gets greasier faster. But if you go ahead and wash it less often, the natural oils from your scalp will actually lessen and you won't have to wash it as often. I know a lot of people feel like they need to wash their hair every single day and it's just not necessary. It dries the ends out way too much. So when you do try to go every other day at least in between washes, use a nice conditioner or a mask and mostly try to smooth the treatment through your mid shaft to your hands combing it through in the shower and leaving it on the entire time you're in the shower. That way it can have more impact on your hair. Also before you go to dry your hair with any type of heating tools, you need to use a product that's going to protect, some kind of heat protectant for your hair. if it has a little protein and moisture in it, that's a double benefit. Go ahead and put that in your hair before you blow dry. I'm Emily Golie. Thanks for watching.
