Fewer things are worse than dry lips, dry skin, and of course, dry hair. Countless formulas promise to beat the dry and hydrate your strands, but not all products deliver. If you suffer from chronically dehydrated hair, then you’ve probably stockpiled a drawer full of hair masks, hydrating oils, and more than a few shampoos and conditioners. But sometimes that cleansing step is the hardest to get right. After all, we’re used to using stripping shampoos in an effort to rid our scalps of buildup, but the right balance of an actual clean head of hair and intense moisture can be tough to find.

Some formulas are riddled with alcohol, silicone, and sulfates that ultimately make your hair even drier. Fear not, because Ebony Bomani, educator and stylist at The Mane Choice, has a few tips to find the best shampoos for dry hair. Bomani recommends looking for hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and emollient oils that attract moisture. She also encourages devising a hair regimen. “Try to minimize the frequency of shampooing and air dry whenever possible to optimize hydration level,” explains Bomani. “Never be afraid to use a little oil on the ends once the hair is dry to lock in longer-lasting moisture.”Shop the 16 best shampoos for dry hair on the market, below—and consider thirsty hair a thing of the past.
