The Best Hair Treatments to Soften Dry Hair

You don't have to live with dry hair. The best hair treatments for dry, brittle locks make hair soft, glossy, and strong. They moisturize and nourish, leaving your hair looking and feeling gorgeous. My hair often dries out in the summer. I have found a few easy treatments that bring back softness and shine in no time.

Almond Avocado Hair Mask


Try a moisturizing mask to bring life back to dry hair. For a deep conditioning home treatment stir together half of a ripe avocado with sweet almond oil. I also add three drops of rosemary essential oil, which has a reputation as a shine enhancer. Apply the mask to clean hair. Cover with a shower cap or towel for at least 30 minutes. Rinse well in the shower. (I have to use a shampoo to get out all of the avocado.) After washing, let your hair air dry to avoid the heat from your blow dryer and see how amazingly smooth and silky your hair feels.

Hair Honey

One of the best hair treatments for dryness is honey. This sweet ingredient is full of nutrients and moisturizing benefits. Add honey to your favorite hair mask or try a softening product such as Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey. It uses honey's cousin, beeswax, to promote shiny hair and manageability, as well as shea butter and nettle extract for hair health.

Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

A shampoo washes out excess oil and dirt, but it can dry out your hair if it is too clarifying. On the other hand, a gentle shampoo with moisturizing ingredients can act as a treatment for dry, damaged, or dull hair. Follow with a creamy conditioner for fast dryness relief. Try a coconut shampoo and conditioner for a rich treat for hair. I have thin hair, so using my hydrating shampoo and conditioner once in a while is enough to keep my hair soft and protected.

Even with dry hair remedies it is still important to take care of your hair to prevent dryness. Cut down on treatments that can dry out your hair, such as coloring or perms. If it is summer time, pay attention to how much you are exposing your hair to sunlight and chlorine, both of which can be damaging. If you have naturally dry hair, consider skipping the shampoo on some days.
