The 14 Best Shampoos for Dry Hair of All Textures

For many, dry strands are a struggle no matter the season. But it s during the winter that you have to be extra proactive in keeping hair hydrated and nourished. From excessive hot tool usage to moisture-stripping shampoos, there are a myriad of factors contributing to vulnerable tresses. And certain hair types need to be extra careful. "Curly, textured hair types are naturally much dryer," explains hairstylist Ursula Stephen, owner of The Ursula Stephen Salon and a trusted stylist for stars including Zendaya, Ciara, and Charlize Theron.

According to Stephen, how often you wash your hair can play a major role in dryness levels, too. "Since curly and textured hair tends to be dryer, you only need to cleanse the scalp once a week, while fine hair naturally tends to be more oily and may requires 3-4 times a week,” she explains. Shampoos with drying ingredients like sulfates, alcohol, and silicones could also be a culprit, she cautions. Fortunately, the market is ever-expanding, offering hydrating shampoos for dry hair of all textures, from pin-straight to kinky-coily, with cutting-edge technology and thoughtful ingredients. Here, 14 shampoos that won’t rob your hair of its natural moisture.
