I have dry hair too... I heard that we need to shampoo our hair every other day and condition the root everyday to avoid oiliness at the roots and dry ends. I like hair range by Loreal.

And as for the combination skin, I will always use my moisturiser right after washing my face, when the skin is still damp. I'm using St Ives Apricot Anti Blemish and Blackhead cleanser and also Nivea Sparkling White moisturiser. They work for me... :)

hair: mayonnaise. face: honey. I have combo skin and dry hair. HTH! :]

I've been using the new Aveeno moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and they're amazing! It's definitely helped my hair not be so straw-like. I recommend it. Also try leaving in a high-end deep conditioner for like 10 minutes once a month.

for my combination skin, i use St Ives face washes.
if you go on their website, you can do this lil quix thing where they'll recommend what kind of washes to get :)
to moisturize, i use Olay's Anti-Wrinkle Daily Moisture.
personally, thats worked for me, but im not sure for you because everyone has different skin.

You should also avoid shampoos with sulfates or sulfites.  They're salts that can further dry your hair.  Hair treatments are helpful for dry hair, too.  After you apply, quickly heat up your hair with a hair dryer.  It will open up the cuticles so the treatment will absorb better.  Otherwise, try to avoid heat treatment.

i have the same problems as you - dry hair and combination skin!

but yeah i tried shampooing the scalp only and using conditioner at the ends, it doesn't seem to help. despite how many kinds of shampoos and conditioners i've tried before! recently i'm trying to stop using heating appliances too, because they make my hair really dry.

My hair is naturally black but I always dye it differently colors, usually red or brown, but it also goes through extensive heat treatments (blow dry, curling, flat ironing). It's taken me a while to find the products to keep my hair healthy so here are a few tips and products I would recommend.
1. Don't blow dry your hair all the time. Keep your wrapped in a towel for as long as you can and then you can either blow dry it with heat or on cool. I usually have my hair wrapped in a towel until it's at the point where it's light and not damp.

2. C.O. Bigelow Hair Restorative Mask is AMAZINGGG. It's fifteen bucks for a tube, but I only use it once every other week and it keeps my roots for splitting and keeps my hair glossy.

3. FEKKAI GLOSSING CREME- <3333 HAHA! This one is actually really expensive, but I say it's really worth it. It's about 27 bucks for a tube, but it lasts for months if you don't over use it. You only squeeze a pea size amount into your palm, even less if you have short hair and jsut rub it through your hair while it's damp and then blow dry it, or just rub it in while it's dry. Don't put too much in or else your hair will just look oily instead! But really!!! It really does keep your hair glossy and shiny. If you had me pick the mask or creme, I'd definitely pick the Creme cause it always lasts me a good 6+ months and I use it every day.

Well, hope that helps! Thats jsut what I've found that works for me, it may be a while for you to find something that works for you too. Good Luck!

i also agree with what everyone else is saying; just wash your scalp and condition your ends. Its somewhat hard if your hair is short though. & i have combo skin as well & use St Ives apricot scrub every other day and a soft cleanser by clean and clear on the other days.
