As a hair expert who also appreciates a good deal, Cottin has the perfect budget-friendly combo to combat your dry hair. “Sometimes, you just need to grab something at the grocery store, and the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump Shampoo & Conditioner Set is legit,” says Andrea Cottin, hairstylist at Portland, Oregon’s Propaganda The Salon. 

“It’s super moisturizing and tames frizz and dry ends like a champ,” she adds.

Celebrity hairstylist and master barber Cody Renegar loves the High Shine Gloss Mask. “It’s great for dry hair,” he says. “It gives a 'just left the salon' finish right at home.”

After shampooing as usual, just add a generous amount of the mask to your hair, leaving it five to seven minutes before rinsing. By combining deep conditioning with a boosting shine, this oil gives dry hair that hydrating nourishment you can see and feel.

The salon-quality results are because “it’s jam-packed full of good ingredients like amino acids and argan oil that are great for detangling and smoothing hair,” says Renegar. These ingredients help infuse moisture into dry strands and help retain color if you’re dying your strands. 

​The formula also features ArganID technology, which helps argan oil absorb into brittle hair strands. That means the oil gets to work even more quickly nourishing, repairing, and sealing the cuticle to prevent further damage.

If you’re feeling fancy, Renegar swears by Oribe’s Signature Moisture Masque.

​What really makes this product stand out is that “it leaves even the driest strands feeling touchable,” Renegar says. “It’s super hydrating without weighing your hair down, and all of the ingredients are full of properties that repair damage and protect from future damage.” 

​Another huge fan of this mask is Rogerio Cavalcante, expert stylist and founder of NYC’s Brazil Edition. “I love how the hair feels genuinely softer and healthier after, not coated or slippery. It’s one of those masks that delivers instant results but also improves the hair over time.”

Plus, he adds, “it deeply hydrates without weighing the hair down, which makes it great for a wide range of textures.”

Kelsey Morey, a colorist with 15 years of experience and owner of Haus of Pretty in Westport, Connecticut, recommends Coco & Eve’s Like a Virgin Hair Mask. It’s a healing balm for hair stressed by overstyling, heat, color, and environmental stressors.

​“It genuinely adds so much shine and smells great,” Morey says. And, it’s formulated with raw virgin coconut oil (Morey’s a “huge fan”) which helps lock in smooth and glossy hair after just one use.

Instead of just masking hair with a shiny coating to make you think your dry hair is getting healthier, it actually helps repair with the 100% vegan formula.

If you’re looking to keep things simple, Morey says, “even putting a little bit of plain coconut oil on your ends for an oil treatment is so so good for your hair.”

“Hair that’s dull and dry is the worst,” says Cottin. “Kérastase’s Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original Hair Oil adds moisture, shine, and eliminates frizz.” 

“It’s actually like a two-in-one, which I love,” she says, since it also works as a heat protectant. Though it's on the pricer side, it means you might be able to replace your heat protectant while also locking in moisture.

What helps bring life back to dry strands are ingredients like corn germ oil that helps soften hair and argania spinosa oil, which moisturizes and adds that glossy shine we all love.

Plus, we can’t forget about the scent. Cottin says “the smell of this oil is heavenly,” so you can feel like you’re having a salon experience at home.
