With so many to choose from, how do I find the best products suitable for my hair texture? Whether you like your hair to be big and bouncy or smooth and shiny, most incredible results are always achieved with help from a shelfie of equally phenomenal conditioning masks, shine sprays and repair treatments. But because we all have very different hair types (from frizzy or coarse, or chemically dyed and damaged to super long) as well as lengths colours, it can be hard to figure out exactly what your hair needs – and which products work best for you.
Being forty years in business, we have used a variety of products over our time ranging from different brands, ingredients and formulas. We are now stocking Moroccan Oil and Olaplex which we are very proud of. Our team have found both haircare products have immensely positive feedback and reviews from customers trying the brands. A great moisturising shampoo and conditioner is the best first line of defence for dry hair. And for very damaged and dry hair, it doesn’t get any better than Olaplex, a line known for being one of the most moisturising out there. It’s bonkers good and incredibly healing, note that it’s so moisturising that you might want to skip using it for every wash to avoid it being too heavy.
Both the shampoo and the conditioner have the line’s patented bond-building technology, which means that they can actually help repair broken hair, in addition to preventing new breakage that can come with dryness.
THE HAIR REPAIRERS

The range includes the best-selling No.3 Hair Protector (best applied to damp hair, left on for 10 minutes, then rinsed off with shampoo), the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner and some other heroes including the new No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask, which is a big hit for dry hair.

FAQ: Why is my hair extremely dry?
Using heat-based drying and styling tools too frequently. shampooing too often. using a shampoo with harsh ingredients, such as sulfates, that are drying for your type of hair. not using a conditioner often enough or one that's designed for your type of hair.
Having gorgeous locks is every woman’s dream. Sadly, not all of us are blessed with soft and silky hair. Much like the skin, the hair is a fragile part of our body. It’s prone to breakage and damage, which can cause dullness and dryness. Most hair damage today is a result of overusing harsh hair care products, exposure to heat and sunlight, and nutritional deficiencies, which strip hair of its needed proteins and minerals. This is why at Ritzys, we say it’s really important to pay close attention to your aftercare and the products you are using, making sure they are the best for you.
What are the benefits of using Leave-In Conditioners?
Leave-ins are vital for locking in moisture after washing, making them especially useful for dry, frizzy or curly hair. They prevent hair from drying out between washes, keeping it soft and hydrated. The leave-in conditioners also coat the hair, making it easier to comb or brush, reducing breakage and damage when detangling. Many of the leave-in conditioners offer heat protection, safeguarding hair from the damage caused by styling tools like blowdryers, flat irons and curling irons. Another benefit is the protection against environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution and harsh weather, which can dry out and damage hair.
For curly or wavy hair types, leave-in conditioners enhance curl definition, providing structure and bounce without making hair stiff or weighed down.
Oils
Oils seal in moisture and add shine. Moroccanoil Treatment: Argan oil-based serum that adds moisture and shine. Give intense hydration by penetrating the hair shaft with oil, this is especially helpful for dry, brittle hair that needs long-lasting nourishment. Oils like argan can give a natural shine, making it look healthy and vibrant. They smooth the hair cuticle, reflecting light and enhancing glossiness. As well as the hair, many oils are beneficial for the scalp. For instance, argan oil has antimicrobial properties that can help combat dandruff and promote healthier hair growth. Massaging oils into the scalp can also improve blood circulation, leading to stronger roots.
Oils can help prevent split ends and reduce hair breakage by nourishing and strengthening the hair shaft. Regular oil application can make hair more resilient and less prone to damage. You can use oils in multiple ways such as pre-wash treatments, leave-in conditioners, styling aids or even over night hair masks. The versatility makes them a valuable addition to any hair care routine.
5. Hair Masks
Weekly deep treatments can dramatically improve dry hair’s texture and moisture levels. Hair masks will go beyond regular conditioner, they penetrate a lot deeper into the hair shaft, providing intense moisture. They are especially designed for dry, damaged or color-treated hair that needs extra hydration. Often containing proteins, vitamins and essential oils that repair and strengthen damaged hair. They help rebuild weakened hair structures caused by heat styling, chemical treatments or environmental stress. The mask will smooth the hair cuticle, which helps reflect light better, giving hair a healthier, glossy appearance.
