Products for dry and dehydrated hair
Dry hair lacks oil. Dehydrated hair lacks water. They feel similar and need different fixes — which is why so many people buy a richer conditioner and end up with hair that is greasy at the root and still brittle at the ends. This is our deepest range, and the one we would point most people at first.
Dry or dehydrated?
Dry hair lacks oil
It feels rough and looks dull all the way down. Coarse and curly textures are naturally drier because sebum struggles to travel the shaft.
Dehydrated hair lacks water
It can feel oily at the root and papery at the ends, and it goes limp in humidity. Heat and hard water are the usual culprits.
A raised cuticle loses both
Alkaline products swell the cuticle open. Our Expert Hydro range is formulated to hair's own pH of about 5.5 so it stays sealed.
A simple three-step routine
01
Wash less aggressively
Use a hydrating shampoo and lukewarm water. Hot water strips the very oils you are trying to keep.
02
Put water back in
A moisturizing mask weekly, on damp not soaking hair. Squeeze the excess water out first or you are diluting the treatment.
03
Lock it in with oil
Water without a seal evaporates. A leave-in or a few drops of argan oil on the mid-lengths keeps the hydration where you put it.

Questions we get about dry hair
How do I tell dry from dehydrated?
Look at the root. Dry hair feels rough from root to tip; dehydrated hair is often oily at the root and papery at the ends, and goes limp in humidity. If a richer conditioner left you greasy without fixing the ends, you are probably dehydrated rather than dry.
How often should I use a mask?
Once a week suits most people. Apply to damp rather than soaking hair — squeeze the excess water out first, or you dilute the treatment before it reaches the strand.
Will oil on its own fix dry hair?
No. Oil seals moisture in, so putting it on a strand that has no water in it just coats a dry hair. Hydrate first, then seal. Our argan oil guide covers what oil does and does not do.
Could hard water be making it worse?
It can. Mineral deposits sit on the cuticle and stop conditioner working properly. In a hard-water area a clarifying wash every few weeks helps more than reaching for a heavier conditioner.
Should I wash less often?
Usually yes, and with cooler water — hot water strips the oils you are trying to keep. See how often you should wash your hair.
