Tips & Warnings
It helps to have freshly cut hair when starting to repair the damage caused by dry hair. Trimming off the split ends will give you the fresh start you will need.
Ask a a hair salon professional what shampoo and conditioner and styling products he would recommend for dry hair for men.
If you continue to have dry hair, check with your doctor. There are some illnesses that have dry air as one of the symptoms.
Do not overuse blow dryers or styling wands--the heat can damage your hair.
Be careful which styling products you put on your hair--a lot of them contain alcohol, which will dry out your hair even more.
