Characterised by coarse strands, a lacklustre finish, frizz and persistent flyaways, dry hair is a concern that can affect anyone, regardless of hair type or texture. In healthy hair, natural oils coat the outer layer (known as the cuticle) helping to lock in moisture, protect the inner structure and deliver a glossy sheen. When hair becomes dry, this protective layer is compromised, leaving strands looking dull and feeling brittle.
It’s little surprise, then, that the beauty industry has responded in force. From deeply nourishing masks to lightweight oils and gentle cleansers, there’s no shortage of solutions promising to restore hydration and shine. In our experience, investing in targeted treatments – including the best hair masks, best hair oils, best sulphate-free shampoos and even the best shower filters designed to reduce mineral build-up, can make a noticeable difference, helping to smooth, soften and revive thirsty strands.
