The reason your has is dry and brittle could be that you are using commercial shampoos that are way too harsh for your hair.  Most commercial shampoos contain harsh "manufactured ingredients" that actually contribute to poor hair and scalp conditions.  These harsh ingredients can dull the look of hair, dry out hair making it brittle, flat or looking limp.  They can also cause build-up on the scalp leading to dandruff or even worse scalp conditions.

 

My advice to you is consider using a homemade shampoo containing, mild and gentle, natural, ingredients. This homemade shampoo has helped a lot of people with varying hair and scalp conditions, including dry, limp, weak, and brittle hair just like yours.  The natural ingredients cleanse and strengthen hair reducing split ends, dryness, and much more.  It is a very unique homemade shampoo that is healthful for the hair and scalp.  Added conditioners are not, even, necessary!  For more information about this homemade, natural, shampoo see:

If you have weak or brittle hair, you should know two things. One is that you are not alone; there are many people out there with similar problems. Two there are solutions for brittle hair. Brittle and weak hair is fragile and breaks very easily. It can be because of not conditioning your hair, the overuse of hair styling tools or medications you may be taking. The first two causes of brittle hair are very easy to fix with common remedies. When you wash you hair try using a gentle rubbing motion to get your hair clean but do not rub the hair. Use a good deep conditioning rinse. Alterna Hair Care has a good line of products with several deep conditioning rinses that are good for brittle hair. The Cavia Age-Free Protectant Collection is another good source for a hair product that will help bring back the shine and health your hair once had. Alterna also makes Restorative Conditioners that are great for helping your hair heal itself. Using a leave in moisturizing spray will also help strengthen your brittle hair. However, you need to be aware that many leave in products will weight down your hair and leave it flat, which can lead to dull hair. Using a metal curling iron or straightener can also cause your hair to become brittle. However, if you must use these products then consider trying one of the new generations of ceramic curling irons and hair straighteners. These new products are less likely to burn your hair. The overuse of curling irons will actually boil the moisture in your hair and cause bubbles in the hair shaft. If you are using medications, you still have options for helping your brittle hair. They just may not be as simple as finding a product or switching a hair instrument. However, you can condition your hair and use moisturizing sprays that will bring strength back to your hair and help it look better. In addition you can help prevent brittle or weak hair from sneaking up on your when you least expect it by protecting your hair when you plan to expose it to extreme wind or sunlight. Consider wearing a head covering so your hair won’t become brittle or weak. In addition, showering with harsh water or swimming in chlorinated water will create a lot of damage to your hair. Harsh water will take the nutrients out of your hair causing it to become dry, brittle or weak. Finding good, quality products will help your hair. The higher the quality of your hair care product, the better chance you have of restoring the important vitamins your hair needs to restore itself to its previous state.

Unfortunately these are all Band-Aids to cover up the real problem. Once you get past the hype of "natural" hair products or home remedies and truly research what hair and hair products can and can't do you will then be able to resolve your issue.

As a professional, I strongly suggest going to www.gotfrizz.com.  Watch the videos and read great information that will definitely guide you to healthier hair.
