1. Eggs
Eggs are chock-full of protein[1] [2], which is excellent for strengthening the hair follicles and preventing breakage related to dry hair. Egg yolk can promote the production of sebum in the scalp, which aids in moisturizing the scalp and hair due to its vitamin A content.

It also moisturizes brittle and dry hair.
2. Honey
Honey can attract moisture into your hair from the environment since it is a natural humectant[3]. It also helps to moisturize the dry hair problem and make it lustrous and soft, as it is an emollient. Along with that, honey is rich in the enzymes and nutrients which help to rejuvenate dull, dry, and damaged hair. In addition to this, it is highly useful for guarding your hair against sun damage, dry air, and pollution, which are a few of the main reasons for dry hair owing to its antioxidants.
