How else can I repair dry hair?
Using shampoo specifically formulated for dry hair is a good start, but there are other products you may want to use alongside it to really get the most out of your hair wash products. This is especially important if you have dry hair and you're using shampoo for coloured hair.
To help you in your quest for luscious, silky locks, you should cut back on the use of heated hair tools such as straighteners and hair dryers, use oils that specifically lock moisture and use a hair mask once or twice a week.
How often should I wash my hair?
You should wash your hair once or twice a week, as washing too often can contribute to drying out your hair - no matter what form of repair shampoo you use.
It make take a while for your hair to get used to being washed once or twice a week, especially if you wash it every other day, but it's worth it in the long run.
