Design your hair without heat.
Heat is what makes the desert a desert, it also contributes to dried-out hair. Two of the most intense sources of heat are curling irons and electric curlers. You rediscover those unheated plastic cylinder rollers from years gone by. For straightening, wrap slightly moist hair under and around rollers for about 10 minutes, for curling or adding wave, try using sponge rollers overnight or sleeping with moist braids.

Protect your hair from the elements.
Whipping wind can fray your hair just like a piece of fabric, sun too takes a mighty toll. Solution: Wear a hat, both on breezy, balmy summer days, and gusty, frosty winter days.

Do not swim bareheaded.
Chlorine is one of the most destructive things to hair. So make a rubber cap part of tour regular swim attire. For extra protection, first rub a little olive oil into you hair.

Have a beer.
Beer is wonderful setting lotion. It gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look, even to dry hair. The trick is to spray the brew onto your hair using pump bottle after you have shampooed and towel –dried, but before you blow-dry or style. And do not worry about smelling like a lush- the odor of the beer quickly disappears.

Consider a trip to the beauty parlor.
A professional moisturizing treatment can work wonders for your dried-out head of hair. A real good steam treatment with oils and creams lasts about an hour, and afterward you can really tell the difference.
