Hair that can't hold enough moisture to maintain its normal texture and sheen is called dry hair according to Medline Plus. There are a number of products for naturally dry and damaged hair that help add moisture to the hair and help dry hair retain that moisture to treat and prevent damage, including split ends. The products in this list have been recognized by some of the best known women's magazines in the United States. If your hair is very dry and brittle, check with your doctor to make sure that you are not suffering from an underlying medical condition.
