Best Hair Treatments for Dry Hair
Dry, brittle hair can happen to anyone, and in a place like Brooklyn, where seasonal shifts, hard water, and city living all take a toll, it’s no surprise that we see clients battling dryness year-round. Whether it’s from over-styling, environmental stress, or simply a lack of moisture, dry hair can leave your strands looking dull, frizzy, and lifeless.
Don’t worry! We’ve got the cure.
At Live By The Sword Salon, our team of expert stylists can help bring your hair back to life with salon-grade treatments that hydrate, repair, and shine. Let’s break down what causes dryness and which professional treatments will help you love your hair again.
Common Causes of Dry Hair
Dry hair isn’t just about skipping conditioner, it’s often a combination of habits and environmental factors. Here are a few common culprits:
Heat Styling: Frequent use of blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands
Coloring and Bleaching: Over-processing can strip hair of natural oils
Environmental Damage: Cold winters, summer sun, wind, and pollution
Lack of Moisture: Not using hydrating products or skipping deep conditioning
Washing Too Often: Stripping the scalp of its natural protective oils
Understanding what’s drying out your hair is the first step toward healthier strands.
Top 5 Hair Treatments for Dry Hair
1. Deep Conditioning Treatments
A must for parched hair. These treatments infuse strands with moisture, smooth frizz, and restore softness. We customize our hair treatments based on your hair type and level of damage. At Live By The Sword Salon, we offer a variety of Deep Conditioning Treatments from brands like R+Co and Leaf & Flower.
2. Keratin Treatments or Brazilian Blowouts
Not just for smoothing, keratin treatments and Brazilian Blowouts can help seal in moisture and strengthen brittle hair. They're a game-changer if your dryness is paired with frizz or damage from heat and color.

3. K18 Treatments
K18 is a professional, science-backed treatment that goes beyond surface repair to restore hair from the inside out. Unlike traditional conditioning masks that only coat the hair, K18 uses patented peptide technology to reconnect broken keratin chains caused by chemical services, heat styling, and environmental stress.
For dry, brittle hair, K18 helps bring back softness, strength, and elasticity in just a few minutes—leaving strands healthier, smoother, and more resilient. It’s like a reset button for your hair, repairing years of damage while making it more manageable and hydrated.
4. Leave-In Conditioners
When your hair feels dry or thirsty, a good leave-in conditioner is a must-have. Unlike rinse-out conditioners, leave-ins work overtime—locking in moisture, smoothing frizz, and protecting against everyday stress like heat styling and pollution. They’re lightweight enough for daily use but powerful enough to transform dull, brittle hair into something soft, shiny, and manageable.
Some of our favorites at the salon include R+Co High Dive, a deep moisture cream that doubles as a frizz smoother, and R+Co Waterfall, a lightweight lotion that gives silky hydration without weighing hair down. Both are perfect for keeping your hair nourished, touchable, and healthy—especially when you need that little extra boost between washes.
In-Salon vs. At-Home Treatments
While at-home products help maintain results, professional treatments deliver powerful, long-lasting hydration. In-salon services use salon-grade formulas and are applied by stylists trained to target specific hair needs. This is something your average drugstore product just can’t match.
We also pair treatments with techniques like steam therapy or scalp massage to improve absorption and leave you feeling refreshed from root to tip.
Maintenance Tips: How to Keep Hair Hydrated
