Generally speaking, hair has a moisture content of approximately 10%. If your hair’s moisture content drops below this level the key is to increase the hair’s ability of attracting and retain moisture. This is accomplished by using moisturizers. Good ones have "humectants" that not only replace lost moisture but actually attract moisture and retain it in the cortex of the hair. Essential fatty aids are great moisturizers. One of the best and most cost effective essential fatty acids is safflower oil. It is the kind you can buy to cook with. How to deal with your dry hair is a no easy problem. And the following steps can be great help to your dry hair:

1. Placing 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms and rubs them together.

2. There should only be enough to make your hands "shine" in the light.

3. Carefully take your hair (while dry) and "scrunch" the small amount of oil to the ends first and work toward the scalp.

4. Leave this in your hair.

5. 1-2 drops of safflower oil on dry hair is so tiny, you won’t notice it is there.

Your dry hair, after doing the above steps as often as necessary, will have the proper amount of humectants to attract and retain moisture. The point is that a small amount of it will go a long way.
