Well- i use a rosemary oil, sweet almond oil and wheatgerm oil mixture to oil my scalp and hair at nite as well as jamaica black castor oil and shapley's m-t-g ( i cover my head with a thin plastic cap at nite). I co wash daily and add liquid aloe vera to my conditioner. I spray a glyverin/water mixture on my hair daily - i use this as my leave-in/moisturizer. I use a pre-shampoo treatment of castor oil weekly and shampoo/ deep condition weekly as well. Hope this helps a little, any more questions- please feel free to ask
Hi Carameldiva,
I use MTG also. Which MTG are you using? OR THIS?
OR THIS?
I've been using the "Original" MTG.

Shea butter is very moisturizing and it dosen't take very much to get the job done. Also you could try adding honey to your conditioners or do a honey rinse. This is very effective because the honey acts as a humectant.

Thanks, I will think about this. I did not know that thermasilk had a solution for dry hair.
My new staples that I use to maintain moisture & have been using religiously for the last 2 mos are L'Occitane Olive Hair Care Oil and Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter. I use the both (oil first then hair butter) 2x day, once every evening and again in the am before I leave for work. Also have been using Elucence as a leave in when I wash my hair (1x week). I find that this product really makes my hair extra soft, silky and moisturized. I realize that these are pricier than some other products out there (especially the L'Occitane) and may not be for everyone, but they are definitely worth it to me because they are simple and they just work. Also, I need a super simple regimen because I do not have a lot of time to dedicate to hair (very busy schedule).
Also, I love Hollywood Beauty Carrot Oil, but the L'Occitane is lighter. I use both (mainly use the Hollywood on wet hair especially when I have a lot of new growth or on my ends) but it is also really good on dry hair. I would also try the Carrot Cream and use both, but tiny amounts, concentrating on ends and driest parts of roots. I don't oil my scalp normally. I just use products on roots and then massage my scalp. This distributes residual oils to scalp, revs up circulation, all good things.
Also, a simple thing to try is to just add oil(s) to your conditioner like olive oil, joboba, avocado or any of the ones that Carameldiva mentioned.
What products are you using & what is your regimen? Maybe list the products so others here can tell you if they may be contributing to the dryness.
