Why is my hair always dry and flaky after I wash it?

Answer by  kimber18 (514)

Probably not your hair that is flaky, but your scalp (ie: Dandruff). Try using a shampoo such as Head And Shoulders, a 2-in-1 with conditioner that suits the needs of your hair type and skin type. Also, if you are using hot water, try turning the temp down a bit.

This may actually be due to a dry scalp condition, such as dandruff. Or, you may have product build up which requires a good cleansing shampoo.

I've heard of friends that have gone through the same problem. They keep it nice and not frizzy by using a special shampoo and adding some special treatment afterwards. Be careful not all treatments for hair are as good as they sound or look. One great brand is Herbal Essences.

You are probably over washing your hair. Many people can and should go 2-3 days between washings. If your hair is dry, maybe just condition daily, and skip the shampoo.
