Whats the best shampooing tips and conditioning treatment for dry hair?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Less of 1, more of 2: Most dry hair is caused by over-shampooing and over-blow drying, no matter what you've read. Shampoo less frequently, perhaps only once or twice a week; add a conditioner (any good one will do); avoid blow drying and harsh styling products. That will work 99% of the time. If it doesn't, see your doctor to rule out an underlying cause.
