As a professional stylist, you’ll find yourself working with many different hair types, hair textures and hair colours daily. Your client’s hair condition will inevitably influence how you work with your client and what you can achieve during their appointment. Here, we’ll be sharing our expert picks on the very best shampoo and conditioner to use on clients with dry hair.
Working with clients with dry hair
Your client may have naturally dry hair, which is very common in clients with textured hair. If you’re keen to learn more about this hair type, check out our expert styling tips and product recommendations in our spotlight on afro-textured hair. Alternatively, if your client has overprocessed their hair through frequent heat styling or overusing at-home hair colourant, or bleach, their hair will be in desperate need of hydration and moisture packing back into every strand.
The key signs of dry, damaged hair
- Visible split ends.
- Dullness, hair has no shine.
- Hair easily breaks and has visibly snapped off in areas.
- Hair lacks oomph and volume.
- Hair falls out easily.
The Best Shampoo And Conditioner For Client’s With Dry Hair
Dry hair is more susceptible to breakage, which causes visible damage such as split ends and frizz. In some cases, this damage cannot be reversed with products alone and will need the damaged hair to be removed with a haircut or trim.
