How to Care for Dry, Rough-Feeling Hair: A Simple Routine

When hair feels dry, rough, or difficult to manage, a thoughtful conditioning routine can help improve its feel and appearance. Start with a few simple steps focused on cleansing, softness, moisture retention, and easier styling.

Focus on Feel and Manageability

Dry ends, dull-looking strands, frizz, and tangles can make wash day frustrating. Rather than expecting a product to permanently repair damage, focus on conditioning benefits: hair that feels softer, looks smoother, and is easier to comb and style.

Step 1: Cleanse and Wash Away Buildup

Our Collagen Shampoo — Cleanse, Strengthen & Shine cleanses hair and washes away buildup while conditioning ingredients help strands retain moisture, feel supple, and look shiny. It helps soften rough-feeling strands and dry ends for easier manageability.

Apply evenly to wet hair, massage thoroughly, and rinse. Repeat if desired.

Step 2: Add a Conditioning Hair Mask

Our Collagen Hair Mask — Hydrate, Smooth & Shine conditions dry, rough-feeling strands for a soft, nourished feel. It helps smooth frizz and enhance natural shine.

After washing, apply 1–2 ounces of the mask to slightly damp hair. Spread evenly from roots to ends, leave on for 5–7 minutes, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Blow-dry your hair or let it dry naturally.

Follow these application directions rather than extending the treatment time or adding heat treatments.

Step 3: Finish with Lightweight Conditioning

Our Leave-In Conditioning Spray helps detangle hair, smooth frizz, enhance shine, and improve manageability with lightweight conditioning.

After washing, gently towel-dry hair until damp. Shake well, spray evenly onto hair, and comb through. Style as desired. The spray is suitable for daily use, including before blow-drying or heat styling.

The spray helps protect hair from heat during blow-drying and styling. Follow the product directions and your styling tool’s instructions.

What’s Behind the Conditioning Benefits?

The shampoo and mask contain Zinc Hydrolyzed Collagen to help condition hair for a softer, smoother feel. Glycerin, panthenol, and Sodium PCA support moisture retention; the mask also includes Sodium Lactate.

The spray has a different formula, including wheat-derived conditioning protein, purslane extract, and conditioning silicones that help smooth hair and improve manageability. It does not contain the shampoo and mask’s collagen-and-tea-tree ingredient combination.

Keep Your Routine Thoughtful

Handle hair gently when combing and drying, and choose styling habits that suit your hair. Avoid treating a fixed number of weeks as a guarantee of results. Conditioning can improve softness and manageability, but it is not a promise to rebuild the hair’s internal structure or permanently mend split ends.

Our shampoo and hair mask are available in 16.9, 8.5, and 1.7 fl oz sizes, with full-size and travel-size options. Both are sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, cruelty-free, and color-safe.
