Dry, Dandruff, Hard, Breakage - Help!

I am African-American, in my early 30's, recently married, and stressed due to life changes. As a result, my once long and healthy hair is now dry, hard, breaking off in various places and every week I am having to wash it due to an itchy scalp with dandruff. Can you give me some suggestions on how to care for it at home?

Hello,

Here are a few things you can do to get your hair back on track:

Deep condition with a good deep conditioner (like Nexxus Humectress) once a week using the heat of a dryer.

Shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo only.

Use a leave-in conditioner - I recommend Salerm 21 mixed with a little bit of moisturizer like Carol's Daughter Hair Milk.

If your scalp remains dry, use a bit of jojoba oil on your fingertips and massage into your scalp every few days.

Lastly, get a good trim to get rid of dry ends and start over with a clean slate.
