It might not even be dry. Sometimes dryness is just product buildup or brittleness. I would try a diluted vinegar rinse (just once to try)... take 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, add 2 cups water, and pour it through your scalp and hair after shampooing. Then condition your hair as usual.

That way you can rule out the product buildup.

Do you use any heat appliances? (if so, cease and desist)

If your hair still feels dry, you could try adding a second conditioner. (Suave or V05). Shampoo, then conditioner 1, then conditioner 2. Or adding an oil (see here, here, or search for " oil " in the Topic Subject)

Or the other possibility is conditioner buildup - see this explanation here.

Hope this helps
