Moisturizing and nourishing are the second best things to do. After shampooing and properly cleaning your hair, apply a suitable conditioner to it.

There may be a possibility that the shampoos and conditioners that you use on your hair are causing your hair to dry out. Consult a cosmetologist to be advised of the best shampoo and conditioner for your hair. After you try that advice, you may see a noticeable difference.
Oiling is also very important for your hair. Make sure that you oil your hair once a week. After oiling, wrap your hair with a hot towel. This will help the oil to penetrate deep into your hair and scalp. Moreover, oiling your hair should make it more manageable for the style you choose to wear.
Dry hair causes your scalp to become itchy and flaky. This is because the hair has lost its natural texture and the result is dandruff. Over washing and even over brushing heavily can damage your scalp. Don’t excessively scratch and scrub your hair vigorously while washing it. Rub it softly but firmly with the tip of your finger. Always comb your hair with bristles made up of natural fibers or even you can use your fingers to comb your hair when wet.
Some harmful products such as mousse, hair gels, hairspray, blow dryers, styling creams etc should not be used on the regular basis. These contain harsh chemicals and can damage your hair. As far as possible, try to use natural products to make the hair smooth and soft. Leave-in conditioner or hair smoothies can prove to be quite beneficial and can prevent your hair from dryness.
It is always advisable to cover your hair during extreme temperatures like strong sunlight, excessive heat, dry air and harsh cold. These conditions can damage and dry out your scalp. Try to use a shampoo that will protect your hair during extreme temperatures or weather.
