Parched hair does not actually want “deep conditioning” as most hair product commercials would have us all believe. If it did want that then we could all just pour Olive Oil over our heads or slick it through with a bit of Crisco and it would bounce to life.

I can only assume there are others out there who made the teenage mistake of putting Mayonnaise all through their hair after seeing Julia Roberts doing it in Dying Young?? What?…no?…well never mind, me neither then.

Anyway, what dry hair really wants is a perfectly balanced combination of stuff that I am far to ignorant to specifically know by name, but I certainly know products that have found this balance and work.

The full name of one such product is…Dove Advanced Care Sheer Moisture Leave In Replenishing Mist for Normal to Dry Hair…seriously, is that not the most absurdly long product name you have ever heard? However, this is great stuff. It really, really works and costs around five bucks! An extra note, do not buy the coordinating Dove Luminizing Leave-In Mist or the cream version as the Sheer Moisture as they are crap.
