Dry hair can be caused by various factors, such as heat styling, chemical treatments, sun exposure, and excessive washing. Dry hair not only looks bad but can also become damaged if left untreated. Using moisturizing shampoo and conditioner labeled as ‘hydrate’ and ‘repair’ can help quench parched hair. Sulfate-free formulas are also recommended as they do not strip the hair of its natural moisture.
To find the best shampoos for dry and damaged hair, we have compiled a list of the top 10 best shampoo for dry hair in Malaysia based on their texture, feel, ingredient list, and hydration and repair properties. Choosing these shampoo will help you fight brittle and frayed hair.
Does Dry Shampoo Affect Hair Dye?
Yes, dry shampoo can be used after coloring hair without fading or ruining the color. It can help space out washes, which can help maintain the hair color. However, it should not be overused as it only absorbs oil and does not remove residue from styling products. Dry shampoo should be used as a complement to regular shampoo with water to effectively clean the scalp.
Can dry hair shampoo help to prevent hair breakage?
If you overuse dry shampoo, your hair may become more vulnerable to breakage. Your scalp’s health may be put at risk. Therefore, limit the use of dry shampoo to one or two days per week to keep your hair and scalp healthy.
