Stylist Recommended Products for Dry Hair

Mary recommends Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair Shampoo for brittle or rough strands. Its formula restores lost lipids and smooths the surface, making it ideal for color-treated or chemically processed hair that needs extra moisture and repair.

For most hair types, Mary suggests using Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Mask once or twice a week. It provides deep hydration without heaviness, leaving hair stronger and softer after each treatment.

Mary explains that oils like Kérastase Elixir Ultime smooth frizz and add shine, while creams such as Kérastase Nectar Thermique hydrate and protect against heat. Using both can give layered moisture and protection.

Yes. Mary recommends always applying a protectant, such as Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray, before blow-drying or ironing. It helps reduce damage, adds shine, and keeps styles smoother.

For curls and coils, Mary often suggests Kérastase Curl Manifesto Conditioner. It hydrates and detangles without weighing curls down, leaving them softer and easier to manage.

Often, yes. Mary points to formulas like Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Shampoo, which cleanse gently without stripping natural oils. They help hair retain more hydration, especially when dryness is a concern.

Mary suggests a lightweight oil such as Goldwell StyleSign Weightless Shine-Oil. It smooths flyaways, boosts shine, and adds softness without greasiness — perfect for daily finishing.

Mary usually recommends washing every 2–3 days. Over-washing can strip essential oils, so alternating with a hydrating shampoo or using dry shampoo between washes helps maintain balance.

For very dry hair, Mary says combining the two works well. A leave-in conditioner adds moisture and protection, while a touch of oil seals it in for long-lasting softness.

Mary suggests sleeping on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz. Applying a light layer of nourishing oil before bed helps hair feel smoother by morning.
