The best conditioner for dry hair that you can buy in 2019
DRY hair can be caused by lots of different things: heat styling from straightening irons, damage from colouring hair, seasonal and hormonal changes, as well as age and genetics.
That’s why a good conditioner is a must-have for those with dry hair: it can strengthen, detangle, soften and add shine to your hair.
We’ve picked the best conditioners for dry hair you can buy online in 2019, based on our own favourites and the rave reviews of fans who have tried them.
If you have dry, frizzy hair, look out for nourishing, replenishing, hydrating conditioners.
Popular conditioners for those with dry hair often contain nut oils and butters, and even specialist ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which nourish hair and can even help to prevent breakage.
Finally, invest in a leave-in conditioner if you have dry hair, which can be helpful in getting rid of any tangles and can protect the hair against heat styling.
Here’s our round-up of the best conditioners for dry hair available on the market today.
