Dry hair can happen for a number of reasons, but whatever that reason it’s never a good look and something that I’m seriously battling with! I’ve tried so many products trying to restore my previously bleached hair and I’ve finally found something that works for me!
My new find is the Ogx range, and I LOVE it!! There are quite a few choices with this brand and I did struggle to pick which one to get. After standing in the aisle for a long time I went with the Coconut Milk Shampoo, Macadamia Oil Conditioner and Argan Oil of Morocco. I wanted to mix it up a bit instead of getting all the same.
My favourite thing about this shampoo is the way it feels when I put it on! My hair is dry and coarse and usually when I put shampoo on my hair still feels dry, this shampoo feels like I’ve put conditioner on! This isn’t liquidy like a normal shampoo, it’s more of a gel, I’ve read a few people saying they don’t like this and it’s hard to lather but I’ve not had this problem. If you feel like your not getting a good lather just pop your head back under the water then put a tiny bit more shampoo on and you’ll get a good lather.
The key ingredients in the shampoo are: Coconut Milk, Whipped egg whites and coconut oils. These ingredients work to nourish the hair, add strength and elasticity and provide hydration. It also smells amazing, who doesn’t love coconut!?
I almost got the Coconut Milk conditioner to go with my shampoo but I really wanted to try all of the products! So I decided to try the Macadamia Oil Conditioner. This conditioner is quite thick but I like it because you don’t have to use loads. Once you’ve used the shampoo as well your hair is already really soft so it’s really easy to apply the conditioner all over your hair. It suggests you leave it on 3-5 minutes but I always like to leave conditioner on for about 10 minutes to let it really work!
The key ingredients in the conditioner are: Macadamia Oil, Sugar Can Extract and Bamboo Extract. These ingredients work to hydrate, smooth, soften and reduce the appearance of split ends.
There was a 3 for 2 offer on when I got my shampoo and conditioner so I decided to try the Argan Oil Penetrating Oil for Dry and Coarse Hair. This is a really nice oil that helps stop any frizzyness caused by dry hair and helps your hair to look really smooth. To use this you apply a small amount to your palm and rub your hands together, then work through towel dried hair. It’s nice because it’s not too greasy and doesn’t leave your hands feeling really oily after.
The key ingredient in this is: Argan Oil of Morocco which helps to revive,smooth and restore damaged dry and coarse hair.
Overall these products have really made a huge difference to my hair, I’ve only been using them for a couple of weeks but have noticed such a difference. They are a little pricey at £7 each but they are really worth it and they are sometimes on offer so keep a look out.

What Causes Dry Hair?
Dry hair can be caused by a number of reasons, here are the most common:
- Over-washing your hair can strip away your hair’s natural oils
- Blow drying your hair too often
- Too much heat – blow drying, straighteners, curlers
- Chemical treatments – hair dye, perms, and bleach
Simple Fixes
- Wash your hair less often
- Use a shampoo made specifically to help dry hair
- Use hair products that don’t have alcohol, because it is drying.
- Follow the shampoo with a moisturising conditioner. It will keep cuticles lying flat so they hold in natural oils.
- Massage argan oil into your scalp to replenish moisture.
I’d love to hear if anyone has tried this brand of if they have their own tips for dry hair?
