I love these tips. I always suffer from dry hair whenever I visit the US during fall and winter. My hair is at its worst state during those times. Thanks for the tips and the use of dryer sheets for static hair is a must do. I will try that. Hi Leia… I love these tips.

If your scalp is extremely dry, I suggest using a heavier oil like olive oil. Personally, I don't use coconut or mustard oils because I don't like the way they smell, but they are supposed to be very moisturizing, as well. Almond oil is a bit lighter, making it easier to wash out, and jojoba oil is the lightest of them all, although I've never tried it! You can use any oil that your hair likes.

In order to treat it, you have to determine the cause! My scalp can sometimes be oily because it's too dry. I know this sounds silly, but when your scalp is very dry, it produces excess oil to combat the dryness. Do you have dry skin, generally? If so, you may be dealing with dry scalp: massage some oil into your scalp before you next wash it and see if that helps. Do you have oily skin? Your scalp may just be naturally oily. As far as I know, the only thing you can do to combat this is to 'train' your scalp to produce less oil. You can do this by extending your wash days, so wash it 2-3 times a week instead of every other day. If this doesn't help, I would suggest investing in a dry shampoo (they make special ones for brunette hair) to make your scalp look less oily between washes! Hope this helps :) Your scalp can be oily for a variety of reasons. In order to treat it, you have to determine the cause!
