Collection: Dry & Sensitive Scalp Care Guide

How to choose products for dry and damaged hair

Look for products designed to moisturise, condition and strengthen the hair. Richer conditioners, hair masks, leave-in treatments and repairing serums can be especially useful for hair that has been coloured, bleached, heat-styled or chemically treated.

If your scalp tends to become oily, focus richer products mainly on the mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp.

Shampoo for dry and damaged hair

Choose a shampoo that cleanses without leaving the hair feeling overly stripped or rough. Moisturising or repairing shampoos can be a good option for hair that feels dry, brittle or damaged.

What causes dry and damaged hair?

Dryness and damage can be caused by heat styling, colouring, bleaching, chemical treatments, sun exposure and repeated washing with products that are too harsh for your hair type. Natural hair texture and environmental conditions can also affect how dry the hair feels.

What is the difference between dry hair and damaged hair?

Dry hair mainly lacks moisture, while damaged hair may have weakened or compromised hair fibres caused by heat, chemicals or mechanical stress. It is possible to have hair that is both dry and damaged.

How often should I use a hair mask?

For dry or damaged hair, using a hair mask once or twice a week is a common starting point. Very damaged hair may benefit from more frequent treatment, depending on the product instructions and your hair type.

Should I use conditioner every time I wash my hair?

For most dry or damaged hair types, conditioner can be used after each shampoo to help improve softness, detangling and manageability. Apply mainly to the mid-lengths and ends.

Can damaged hair be fully repaired?

Hair products can improve the appearance, softness and manageability of damaged hair and help reduce further damage, but severely damaged hair fibres cannot always be completely restored to their original condition. Regular trimming and reducing heat or chemical stress can also help maintain healthier-looking hair.
