Things You'll Need:

- Oil Treatments
- Shower comb
- Crème Conditioners

Step 1
Before shampooing your hair, use a natural oil treatment from your kitchen. Saturate your hair in olive oil, mayonnaise, or pure coconut oil and cover it with a plastic cap for several hours. If you can stand to sleep with this overnight, you will have quicker success.
-
Step 2
After shampooing your hair with a gentle ph-balanced shampoo, use a vitamin-enriched conditioner and comb it through your hair with a shower comb. Allow it to sit in your hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out.

Step 3
Pillowcases have draw out the oils from your hair while you sleep. Cover your hair with satin scarf or sleeping bonnet.
-
Step 4
Protect your hair from extremes. Hot and cold climates can take a toll on your hair, as can chlorine from swimming. Wear hats during cold weather and use a swimming cap at the pool. Likewise, cut back on the use of heat styling products. If necessary, wear your hair in a ponytail or bun a few days each week.

Step 5
Eat a proper diet. Dry hair may be a sign of dehydration or lack of oils in our diet. Drink lots of water and consume reasonable amounts of nuts, olive oil and avocado.
-
Step 6
Brush your hair. It might seem like an old cliché, but brushing your hair every night will stimulate your scalp and distribute oils to the tips of your hair. Look for a natural boar bristle brush.

Step 7
Clip the ends. Sometimes you have to let go of some to save the rest. Remove damaged ends from your hair to give to give your hair a new bounce and to protect yourself from excessive shedding and further damage.
