If your hair feels rough, snaps when you brush it, or refuses to hold moisture, don’t panic — dry and breaking hair is incredibly common, and the good news is that it’s completely fixable with the right routine. Here’s exactly what’s causing it and how to fix it using products you can shop directly from Boss Hair.

🧴 You’re washing too often
Washing your hair every day strips the natural oils that protect your strands. You need those oils to keep your hair hydrated and soft.
How to fix it: Wash 2–3 times a week and switch to a gentle, hydrating shampoo. Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is perfect for dry and damaged hair because it cleans without stripping and helps rebuild broken bonds. Available at Boss Hair.

🔥 Too much heat styling
Straighteners, curling tongs and hot blow-dries literally evaporate moisture from your hair.
How to fix it: Reduce heat days and ALWAYS use a heat protectant like the ghd Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray — a must-have for anyone who styles regularly.

💧 Your hair is missing the moisture + protein balance
Dry hair needs moisture. Breaking hair needs protein. You need both.
How to fix it: Use a moisture mask one week, then a bond-repair treatment the next. Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector is ideal for strengthening weak, snapped hair.

🧴 Using the wrong products for your hair type
Thick and curly hair need richer formulas. Fine hair needs lightweight hydration.
How to fix it: For dry or damaged hair, go for richer leave-ins like Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother. If your hair is fine, use lightweight creams or sprays so your hair stays bouncy.

✂️ Split ends travelling upward
Split ends cannot be repaired — they need trimming. If left, they keep splitting upwards and cause extreme breakage.
How to fix it: Get a regular trim and then protect your ends with a serum or oil. Davines OI Oil is brilliant for sealing and softening the ends.

🌙 Your pillowcase is working against you
Cotton absorbs moisture from your hair, making dryness worse overnight.
How to fix it: Switch to satin or silk bedding or wrap your hair before bed. Add a tiny amount of leave-in or hair oil to the ends for extra overnight moisture.

🌿 Your scalp isn’t happy
Dry, tight, flaky or irritated scalps produce weaker hair.
How to fix it: Massage your scalp with a nourishing oil a few times a week and exfoliate monthly. Look at the Davines NaturalTech scalp care range on Boss Hair — perfect for soothing and rebalancing the scalp.

🪮 Brushing incorrectly
Brushing from the roots or using the wrong brush on wet hair can cause snapping.
How to fix it: Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush. Always start at the ends and work upward. Add slip with a leave-in conditioner like Davines OI All In One Milk.

🚿 Hard water build-up
Minerals from hard water make hair dry, dull and brittle.
How to fix it: Use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month. After clarifying, follow immediately with a hydrating mask — Davines and LuxeOil masks work perfectly for restoring moisture.

✨ You’re adding moisture but not sealing it in
If you don’t seal your moisture with an oil or serum, your hair loses hydration quickly.
How to fix it: Apply your conditioner or mask, then use a leave-in conditioner and finish with a serum. Davines OI All in One Milk + OI Oil is a perfect moisture-locking combo.
