Dry Hair
Question: My hair is dry and overprocessed from being dyed for several years. Is there a shampoo and conditioner that will help without weighing my hair down—and doesn't cost a fortune?
Answer: To reverse damage without causing limpness, look for formulas designed to repair hair, like Garnier Strength and Repair Shampoo and Instant Melting Conditioner. Avoid products that have “smooth” or “sleek” on the label, as they’ll be too heavy for fine hair. And to speed up recovery, substitute conditioner with a hydrating mask once a week (an inexpensive and effective one to try: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask), but only apply the product from mid-shaft to ends to avoid weighing down the root area.
