Regarding the dryness of your hair, there's a chance that this isn't the best product for your hair type. Hair is typically dry if it's not conditioned enough. For a better experience, we recommend using a rich conditioner or try a shampoo that offers more hydrating benefits. You can also use a leave in conditioner instead of the one that you rinse out.
