Frequently Asked Questions about Dry Hair
What is the difference between dry hair and dehydrated hair?
Dry hair lacks natural oils due to an underactive scalp, while dehydrated hair lacks water content. In practice they overlap: dry hair loses moisture easily and needs both lipid replenishment and hydration. ICON products in this range address both simultaneously.
How often should I use a hair mask on dry hair?
For very dry hair, ICON's Inner Mask is recommended twice a week. Apply after shampooing, leave on for 5 minutes with gentle heat, then rinse thoroughly. For maintenance between uses, Cure Conditioner can be used at every wash.
Will hair oil weigh down fine, dry hair?
It depends on the oil and the amount. ICON's India Oil has a lightweight, non-greasy texture — 2 to 3 drops applied to damp ends provides noticeable shine and nourishment without weighing hair down or leaving a greasy feel.
How to fix dry hair fast at home?
A deep conditioning mask is the quickest fix. Apply ICON's Supercharged Mask to damp hair, cover with a warm towel for 10 minutes, and rinse. The results are immediately visible — softer texture, more shine, and easier manageability. Pair with a leave-in spray to maintain moisture between washes.
What's the best shampoo and conditioner for dry hair?
Look for sulphate-free shampoos that cleanse gently without stripping the scalp, paired with a conditioner rich in emollients. ICON's Drench Shampoo and Cure Conditioner are designed to work together — the shampoo removes impurities without disrupting the moisture balance, and the conditioner seals and smooths.
