Causes of Dry Hair
How does hair dry out in the first place?
Thick hair, by comparison, can struggle to absorb moisture evenly, leading to dry ends.
Use a lightweight conditioner and avoid heavy oils or creams.

A leave-in conditioner spray or a volumizing conditioner can also help add moisture without making hair flat.
And as an added bonus, it smooths out frizz and boosts shine.
How to Hydrate Thick Hair
The thicker the hair, the richer the ingredients need to be.
