Have you tried every product under the sun to make your hair smooth and silky? Dry, rough and wavy hair is naturally more fragile and prone to breakage than other hair types. To make it healthy and manageable, you need to adopt a special routine that suits your hair. Read on to learn how to get started.
Use sulfate-free shampoo. You may have a collection of shampoos that are meant to tame frizz, define curls, and smooth waves. What they probably all have in common is a few chemicals that actually make dry, rough hair worse: sulfates. Buy shampoo that is completely free of this chemical.[1]
Commercial shampoos are made with sulfates because they act as an effective cleanser. They strip the hair of its natural oils to give it that "squeaky clean" quality. The problem is they make hair too clean, and it damages the hair. In fact, the same chemicals are used in dishwashing and laundry detergents.
Health food stores and natural beauty product stores sell shampoos without sulfates. Look for a bottle labeled "sulfate-free" to be extra sure it doesn't contain the chemical.
Some people with curly hair choose to forego using shampoo entirely. They find that their dry hair doesn't need to have its natural oils washed away, and water alone does the trick for washing out dirt.
Buy silicone-free conditioner and styling products. Since sulfates wash the oils away from out hair, conditioners resupply moisture and shine by adding silicones to the mix. The problem is that silicones build up in the hair over time and cause it to start looking dry and dull. Buy a new conditioner that doesn't contain silicones; you may see results the first time you use it.
Hair balms, creams, gels, and other products also often contain silicones. Examine all of your products and toss or donate the ones that have ingredients that could be harmful to your hair.
Get a trim. Trimming away the split ends and other damaged sections of hair can go a long way toward making it look and feel healthy again. Get rid of the damage caused by your old shampoo and conditioner products. It's time to start fresh with a new routine.
Wash your hair less often.[2] Now that you aren't putting sulfates and silicones in your hair, you don't need to wash it every day. In fact, washing your hair that often can really dry it out, increasing volume and frizz. To keep your hair manageable and healthy, wash it two or three times a week.[3]
Wash your hair with cold water. Have you been washing your hair with hot water for years and years? High temperatures can really do a number on hair that's already rough and dry; the hot water causes the hair shaft to get frayed. Instead, go as cold as you can stand. When your hair is dry, it'll look sleek and shiny.
If you hate taking cold showers (who doesn't) try washing your hair separately, in the sink. That way you can use ice-cold water without getting chilled.
Dry your hair with care. Here's the routine you want to avoid: roughly toweling your hair, violently brushing out tangles, then blasting it with the hair dryer. Hair that is already dry does not respond well to this rough treatment.[4] Instead, use the following routine to dry your hair:
Pat it dry with a soft towel. Don't wring it out or twist it up in the towel; gently squeeze out the excess water, then pat it dry.[5]
Apply leave-in conditioner or anti-frizz serum. Make sure it's free of silicones. Run some through your hair with your fingers while it's still damp, and use a wide-toothed comb to gently work out any tangles.
Let your hair finish air drying. Put away the hair dryer and let it dry the natural way. It'll take longer, but after a few weeks your hair will regain its natural health and shine.
Avoid using heat styling tools.[6] Blow drying, flat ironing and curling your hair every day, or even a few times a week, makes for a lot of long-term damage. Try to adopt a styling routine that makes the most of your air-dried hair.[7]
When you do want to dry your hair, choose a cooler setting on the hair dryer and use a diffuser.
If you want to curl your hair, try curling it without heat.
Get regular trims. Getting your hair trimmed and shaped every few months will keep it looking fresh and healthy. Just make sure your stylist knows not to use shampoo and conditioner with sulfates or silicones, and ask her to use a cooler hair dryer setting and employ the diffuser when you're getting your hair styled.
Eat nutrients that promote healthy hair. If your hair is consistently dull and rough, you may not be getting the nutrients you need to keep it healthy.[8] Incorporate more of the following foods into your diet:
Fish, avocados, and nuts that contain omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential to hair and nail health.
Fruits and vegetables with vitamin E and A, such as spinach, kale, carrots, and sweet potatoes.
Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is another cause of dull, dry hair. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to restore your hair's shine and vibrancy.[9]

Support wikiHow by unlocking this expert answer.
I take showers every day to make my curls soft, but then I wake up the next day and it's super dry and feels rough. What should I do?
Apply a mixture of egg, yogurt and olive oil and leave it on overnight. Rinse in the morning. Do it once every two weeks or so.
I have dry, rough, frizzy hair. It's short and thick. How do I tame it?
Try coconut oil, egg and olive oil and yogurt to tame it.
Which shampoo should I use for my hair?
Baby shampoo is mild and perfect for dry hair but if you’re using a ton of styling product you might have to shampoo your hair multiple times with baby shampoo. Mustard oil works wonders for dry hair by re-hydrating it. Just be sure to use it sparingly (depending on the length of your hair). Coconut oil works too.
I've got dry, frizzy, curly hair and it's always a mess to comb it out. I can never let my hair down if it's natural unlike using straightener, where I would have to worry about. Also, at the same time I feel like I'm losing hair, what should I do?
When you comb your hair use a big toothed comb and don't use a lot a force. And if you feel your losing hair then try oil in it, once a week.
I have tried coconut, almond and alma oil, but all of these made too much of my hair fall out. Should I stop using them?
Those should not be causing hair loss. You may want to consult a doctor.
Is almond oil good for hair massaging and for shiny and healthy hair?
Yes, it makes hair shiny and smooth.
I have long hair but as the year passes, it is becoming thin, rough and dry even though I am using good shampoos. What can I do?
Maybe shampoo less often (this dries out hair when done too frequently), and use moisturizing products, like hair masks on a regular basis. When you shampoo, always use a conditioner. It may also have something to do with your health, in which case see your doctor. If this does not work, ask your hair stylist for advice.
Which is the best shampoo for rough and dry hair?
There are many shampoos that are good for adding moisture to your hair. The Loreal brand has a good one. Also, be sure to use a quality conditioner as well as this will help your hair be more silky and smooth.
I have really rough and dry hair. What do I do?
Make sure you are using shampoo and conditioner that is specifically formulated for dry hair. Also remember to only use a wide-toothed comb on wet hair. Avoid using extreme heat on your hair as much as possible, and look into getting a leave-in conditioner.

The main cause for dry and rough hair is lack of nourishment and hydration. Other factors that cause dry and rough hair are; genetic causes, excessive use of chemical laden products, excessive use of hot styling tools that can cause lasting damage to your hair. There is also the case of environmental pollutants that can make your hair look dry and rough.
Before you choose any of the organic shampoos for rough hair, ensure that you follow a regime. When you have dry, frizzy and rough hair, you need to follow a complete regime for your hair care. This should include the following:
Now that you know the causes and the regime that you should follow, the next step should be to choose a chemical-free and organic shampoo for rough hair. You can choose between a liquid shampoo and a shampoo bar to tame your tresses. Here are a few shampoo and shampoo bars that have been made specifically for dry and rough hair.
Try this combination of natural ingredients packed in a bottle that your hair will love. Packed with the goodness of argan, sacha inchi, mango butter and more, these smoothening ingredients will help to reduce the frizz and add that extra nourishment and hydration to your hair. I love the mango butter pre-shampoo mask that promises some serious hair love! Use the code PRATIBHA if you are buying from Juicy Chemistry to get a discount.
Argan considered “liquid gold” is a powerhouse of nourishment. I have used the entire hair kit from the Argan variant that also includes a hair mask and I completely recommend it for dry and rough hair. What you get is visibly tame and nourished hair. Argan oil works towards reducing the frizz and softens rough hair when used regularly. You can buy this here.
This beautifully aromatic nourishing shampoo gently cleanses and instantly conditions restoring health and shine to dry damaged or chemically-treated hair. A first of its kind formulation of hydration sugars, plant-proteins, and pro-vitamin B5 complex, provide concentrated nourishment, from root to tip, leaving hair soft, silky and shiny. Pair it with the normal conditioner from Omved for better results. You can buy this here.
The Krya Conditioning Herbal shampoo powder is a pure & non-toxic herbal shampoo has been formulated to gently cleanse and naturally condition dry, frizzy hair , yet leave natural oils intact in the scalp. The formulation contains 24 highly nourishing and rich Ayurvedic herbs including Amla, Mulethi, Japa & Harad. The Formula cleanses scalp gently, naturally conditions hair leaving it smoother and less prone to tangling over time. The shampoo does not strip scalp & hair of its natural oils & helps reduce hair breakage & improve hair texture. You can buy this here.
This one is on my wish-list and I have to pick up some products from The Tribe Concepts! This is a powder shampoo that cleans your scalp and hair removing dirt, debris and excess oils while letting all the essential nutrients intact and making your hair soft and manageable.
The Cleanser on regular use helps restore natural hair colour and makes the hair healthy from the roots to the ends. We wanted to make an organic natural Shampoo and hence did not add any chemicals to the product. You get the Cleanser in a powder form unlike the regular liquid Shampoos with chemical infused preservatives. You can buy this here.
I am on the second variant of the shampoo bar from Soap Square. This shampoo bar is rich in amino acids and vitamin C. Hibiscus improves the blood circulation under the scalp to encourage healthy hair growth. Lavender oil deep conditions the hair, keeps it shiny, and helps control dandruff. Shea butter is a natural conditioner and provides extraordinary moisturizing properties and is therefore known as “mother nature’s conditioner”. This is one of the shampoo bars that doesn’t require a long transition phase to adjust to your hair. Other benefits include zero wastage and no contribution to a landfill. You can buy this here. Use the code Pratibha10 to get a 10% off.
This Ayurvedic formulation is a perfectly balanced shampoo that cleanses the scalp without removing natural oils or making the hair dry. Infused with the goodness of Organic Hibiscus petals, nutrient-rich Aloe Vera and moisturising Honey, it nourishes, hydrates and cleanses your hair. Aloe soothes, hydrates and calms the scalp. Hibiscus prevents dryness, frizz and breakage of hair; treats itchy scalp and leaves hair soft and shiny. Honey moisturizes and nourishes the hair. You can buy this here.
These are some of the organic shampoos available in India for rough hair. When you start off using any of these shampoos read the ingredient list to ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients. Also stick to a regime and the brand for the results to show. If you keep changing the shampoos, there are chances that your hair may constantly be adapting to the change and showing the desired results.
