Be careful to cut roughly the same amount from each twist.

How to fix dry hair

Don't skimp out on the shampoo
Shampoos with extra proteins and humectants should be used to repair damaged hair. Also, don't forget to use a leave-on conditioner every day before drying and styling your hair.

Get a protein boost
Protein treatments help moisten dry hair and repair damaged hair by filling in the damaged cuticle. If your hair is really damaged then go for the intense treatment, otherwise go for the lighter treatments.Use a moisturizing conditioner after application as some protein treatments can harden the hair and cause it to become stiff.

Use a heat-activated moisturizing conditioner once a week
Apply generously to your hair and cover your head with a plastic cap. Sit under a hair dryer for 30 minutes or more, since the heat locks in the deep conditioner so that it penetrates the hair.


Don't wash your hair too often
Shampoo's primary function is to kill bacteria. With that comes huge damage to your hair. Instead of washing with shampoo everyday, you should just condition it. Try to limit the use of shampoo to once a week at most.

Avoid blow dryers and hot irons
These basically fry the hair. Try using rollers to style instead. or at least put the coolest setting or your blow dryers.

Use oil and vinegar.
First, rub olive oil into your hair and cover with a soft cloth. Let sit overnight, then rinse with white vinegar as your conditioner before you shampoo. The vinegar will reduce dandruff and add luster and shine to dry hair, and the oil helps repair damaged hair.

Get an egg wash
Get egg whites and mix it with water and honey. Wet your hair with warm water and apply the mix. leave it in for 10 minutes and then rinse.

Try mayonnaise
If all else fails and you are really desperate, try putting a little bit of mayo in your hair over night. Rinse it in the morning.
