| | | It's not a home remedy, but there's this moisturizing conditioner by Samy that works for me when my hair feels extra dry. You can get it at CVS, Target, etc. It doesn't have waxes in it, so it doesn't make my hair feel gross or slimy afterwards...

| | | i use pantene colour revival leave in moustiuriser.
but for home remedies, a friend of mine swears by hot oil treatments. you heat up some olive oil in the microwave, put it in your hair, put a towel around your hair and leave it for about ten minutes. then wash your hair as usual. |

| I use cling wrap, it doesn't wreck the towels and you can pretend you're an alien. Everyone's a winner  |

I do have really fine hair, but loads of it. If that makes sense. It's fine but not scarecrow scraggly fine.
Oh, does humidity affect it? It was pretty gross n hot the day I did it. |

or if you put it too far up towards your roots it can go pretty yuck. |

| | | Slightly heat up some olive oil....masage into your scalp and hair, wrap a towel round for an hour then rinse...usually does the trick! |

Ta for that <3 I don't usually use stuff like that in my hair, but I changed my hair goop and it made it dry like firewood. Back to fudge it is. |

If you use Pantene, I would just use it on extra-dry days or on the ends of your hair. It makes my hair feel really waxy. I use this TreSemme Anti-Breakage shampoo & conditioner, it's really inexpensive but works surprisingly well.

| | | I make a mask of olive oil and honey when my hair feels dry. Slap it on dry hair, wrap in clingfilm and a towel and leave on for as long as you can. |
