Dry, dull hair happens to the best of us – too much heat, too little moisture, or just one too many busy days between washes. The good news? You don’t need a full overhaul. These quick fixes will bring your hair back to life – and fast.

1. Feed hair moisture (not oil)

When hair’s feeling thirsty, go for hydration over heaviness. Reach for a product like Hershesons Almost Everything Cream to nourish each strand, applying to damp or dry hair from the mid-lengths down. The ultimate multitasker, you can also use it as a mask, applying to damp hair, leaving it on for 10-20 minutes, then washing off. It’s akin to giving your strands a big glass of water.

2. Cool it with the heat

If you’re someone who often uses heat tools, such as tongs and straighteners, reconsider how you use them. Turn the temperature down, always mist on a heat protectant, and finish with a blast of cool air – and if you can, try and use them less often, replacing with a product like Air Dry Spray for natural texture, without the heat. 

3. Cold rinse

Swap your regular shampoo for a cleansing cream or co-wash when hair’s feeling dry – it refreshes the hair without stripping. Then finish with a cold rinse – it’s a 10-second trick that seals moisture in and leaves your hair looking glossy and healthy, not frazzled.
