Know your hair
The most important thing is to know what sort of hair you have. Your hair might not be as dry as you think, but you will have to consult a professional to find out the exact situation. Some people don’t treat their hair well and keep complaining about the dryness. Therefore, make sure that you shampoo properly and use a good conditioner to keep things smooth. -

Use oil
A couple of hours before using the lice comb apply oil to your hair properly. Don’t rub your head vigorously, as that will cause a lot of damage. Use your fingers to gently massage your skull. Keep on doing this for at least 10 minutes until the oil settles in nicely to the base of your hair. -

Shampoo the oil out
After one and a half hour, shampoo your hair properly to rinse the oil out. You will have to apply the shampoo on a couple of times, as the oil will not allow to make lather early on. Once you have properly washed your head, use a good conditioner and wash with water once again. You will now have smooth hair. -
