DRY, BRITTLE, AND BREAKING NO MORE


Top 3 Challenges When Styling Dry Hair & How to Fix Them

Dry hair can be one of the most frustrating hair concerns, leading to brittleness, frizz, and difficulty achieving smooth, polished styles. At Sessions, I work with clients who struggle with dryness and help them find the best solutions to restore moisture, shine, and manageability. If your hair feels rough, lacks shine, or struggles to hold a sleek style, you may be dealing with one of these common dry hair challenges. Here are the top three issues, their root causes, and the best products from Kevin Murphy, Amika, Keune, and Davines to help you nourish and style your hair effectively.


1. Brittle, Breakage-Prone Hair

Root Causes:

  • Lack of moisture in the hair shaft makes strands weak and prone to snapping.

  • Heat styling, chemical treatments, and excessive brushing can weaken hair structure.

  • Low protein levels in hair make it fragile and less elastic.

  • Overwashing with harsh shampoos strips natural oils, leading to increased breakage.

How to Fix It:

To strengthen dry, brittle hair, focus on hydration, protein-infused products, and heat protection.


Product Recommendations:

  • Kevin Murphy Repair.Me Wash & Rinse – A strengthening and reparative shampoo and conditioner duo infused with proteins and enzymes to rebuild hair health.

  • Amika The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo & Conditioner – Formulated with bond-repair technology to restore weakened hair and prevent future breakage.

  • Keune Care Vital Nutrition Mask – A deeply nourishing mask that replenishes moisture and strengthens hair fibers.

  • Davines Nourishing Hair Building Pak – A rich treatment that repairs and reinforces dry, brittle strands with keratin and essential nutrients.


2. Frizz & Lack of Smoothness

Root Causes:

  • Dry hair absorbs excess moisture from the air, leading to frizz and flyaways.

  • A damaged cuticle layer causes rough texture and lack of shine.

  • Heat styling without protection depletes moisture and worsens frizz.

  • Hard water and environmental pollutants leave buildup that dulls and roughens hair.

How to Fix It:

To combat frizz and create smoother styles, focus on hydration, smoothing treatments, and protective styling techniques.


Product Recommendations:

  • Kevin Murphy Smooth.Again – A leave-in smoothing treatment that tames frizz while deeply conditioning.

  • Amika Velveteen Dream Smoothing Balm – Controls frizz and protects against humidity while leaving hair soft and sleek.

  • Keune Satin Oil Treatment – A lightweight, shine-enhancing oil that deeply hydrates and smooths frizz.

  • Davines OI All-In-One Milk – A multi-benefit leave-in treatment that softens, hydrates, and fights frizz for ultimate smoothness.


3. Dry Ends & Lack of Shine

Root Causes:

  • The ends of the hair receive the least amount of natural oils, making them prone to dryness.

  • Frequent heat styling, coloring, or chemical processing depletes moisture from the hair shaft.

  • A lack of protective products causes moisture loss, leading to dull, lifeless hair.

How to Fix It:

Regular trims, deeply hydrating treatments, and shine-enhancing products will help keep dry ends looking and feeling healthy.


Product Recommendations:

  • Kevin Murphy Young.Again Oil – A nutrient-rich treatment oil that deeply hydrates and restores shine.

  • Amika Glass Action Universal Elixir – A weightless oil that adds hydration and high-impact shine without greasiness.

  • Keune Care Lumi Coat Supreme Spray – A protective shine-enhancing spray that seals moisture into dry ends.

  • Davines OI Oil – Infused with Roucou oil to deeply nourish and add a glossy, luminous finish to hair.
