Dry hair is the culprit behind many a major beauty problem, from breakage or hair loss to good, old-fashioned dullness. But when it comes to moisturizing away the dryness, the first question is almost too obvious: What shampoo are you using? Washing your hair can strip away moisture—it's a con that comes with any type of cleansing—so it’s important to choose a shampoo that protects hair’s natural oils and adds in even more hydration. One of these formulas will be the foundation to your moisturized and glossy hair (and not to sound too much like the bottle, but don't forget to follow with hydrating conditioner to get the best results).
Aloe vera, coconut oil, and honey leave curls and coils more moisturized than before washing, while calming tea tree oil helps with scalp issues.
