Which hair product should I use ?
Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to look into my question. :)
I am a 17 years old man and I have dry hair. Moreover I am a little mal-nutritioned. So, I want you to take all these factors in mind and suggest me a shampoo, a hair conditioner, a hair gel and some tips which will be good for my hair. I have researched over the internet but these suggestions are best when a real person gives them. :) After all, it's the matter of my hair. :)
Price and availability of the products are not important. They should be good for a person like me.

Get it trimmed to get rid of dead-ends and you could use any shampoo/conditioner that specialises in dry hair, brands like head 'n' shoulders, loreal elvive or pantene pro-v tend to be effective but it depends on what type of hair you have. Hope I helped x

Hello.
This is a complex question for a number of reasons, but I'll have a go.
If you have dry hair, you should go for a haircut to get rid of any split ends. I know this sounds very effeminate, but I'm a guy, and do this regularly to ensure that the hair can grow well, and get rid of any dry ends. While you are there, ask for a nourishing treatment. You will probably only get this at a high end hair salon. I go to Regis, and they're amazing there! That's in the UK though, so I'm not sure what country you are in, and so the types of salon available to you. I have this treatment done a few times a year, and I kid you not, my hair goes from dry and brittle to AMAZINGLY soft! I pay £7 (GBP) which equates to around $11(USD).
The key is to go to a good quality salon. It doesn't have to be expensive, just have knowledgeable staff. Ask your friends: especially females, as many salons cater for both men and women.
Hair is made of protein, so you want to eat plenty. Not only for healthy hair, but also as a healthy diet. This can be gained from Fish, chicken, beef, lamb, eggs, beans etc etc. You can also get nutritional aids for stronger hair and nails. I'm not sure how well they work though.
In regards to shampoo, again, I'm not sure of what country you are in, and so what brands are available to you. I'll assume you are in the USA, but I'll let you know what brands I use, as they are usually available in both countries. Some good brands are:
Bumble and Bumble Alojoba shampoo
Aveda Damage Remedy shampoo
Serie Expert by L'Oreal Intense Repair shampoo
Dove Intense Repair shampoo
Also, you MUST condition. The best way is to use the same brand of conditioner as shampoo. Now, if you want maximum help, then go for a leave-in conditioner. I use TIGI Bed Head for Men Leave-In Conditioner, its in a spray form, and doesn't weight your hair down as much.
If you use heat, then be sure to use a heat protection serum/spray of some sort. I dry and straighten my hair, and so it gets damaged quickly.
Now, styling. This, I have left for last, because it's by far the most difficult issue. You don't really say what type of hairstyle you have, and whether or not it suits you, or you are looking for something better. The best product can only really be identified by you, as you know what you're looking for. Avoid traditional 'Gel', i.e. that clear, gooey stuff that sets hard and shiny.
I use (depending on what style I'm going for) :
Fructis Garnier - If I want strong hold, with a big hair style.
Regis Design Line Fibre Putty - If I have time to do a nice quiff
Regis Design Line Volumising Gel - My everyday product, which I use to volumise (my already volumous) hair, if I'm going for a sort of, curly look?
I finish off with Fat Head 0 Calorie hair spray.
Another good product brands are: Hairbond (very good, UK based brand), Fudge (excellent), Fat Head (if you want big hair), TIGI, and LOADS more.
If you are really unsure, pop into your local hair salon (good quality), and let them have a go at your hair. They are (usually) very experienced, and can recommend what is best for your hair. Of course, they are trying to make a sale, but they do their best to make it personal. For example, my hairstylist doesn't let me buy anything which would not work on my hair. She physically does not let me! Because she knows my hair, and the product. Eventually, you will have a good rapport with your stylist, and they will know exactly how to help you.
Feel Free to inbox me, should you need advice, as this sort of question is the stuff I really enjoy!
Good luck, and I hope I helped :)
