Go-to products for dry hair

In the winter, and sometimes year round, my hair can get excessively dry and frizzy. I have tried my fair share of products to fix the problem over the years. Some products claim to do certain things, but don't. Some products aren't worth the high price and you would be better off sticking to the drug store.
For shampoo and conditioner I love the brand Herbal Essences because their products are all natural. I like to use shampoo that smells good and isn't too thick because my roots can get oily and gross. I currently use the "naked moisture shampoo." It's a very basic shampoo, but it does the job. I have tried a lot of TRESemmé also and have found that they make quite a few good hair products even beyond shampoo and conditioner.
I rely heavily on my conditioner for moisture. I need one that is going to help repair damaged hair along with controlling the frizz and dryness. The "naked shine conditioner" by Herbal Essences is great and I have used it for about 6 months now.
If you are looking for more shampoo options than what I have listened here, allwomenstalk has a great article with 15 more shampoos for dry hair, some of which I have never tried so I don't know how good they are personally.
As far as what comes after the shower, I have many more products that I use daily. I have never (very rarely) been able to let my hair air-dry after showering. I envy people who's hair can go from wet to dry and be hydrated without fizz, let alone look decent enough to go out.
Leave in conditioners are the love of my life. My favorite right now is made by TRESemmé. I prefer spray in verses more of a cream liquid because in the morning I try to avoid getting my hands sticky, but usually it's inevitable regardless because I also use a light hold hair gel made by Aussie, an Australian cosmetic company. All of their products smell amazing, and they can lean toward the pricey side of drugstore, but well worth it. I my hair doesn't feel stick or hard, even with a generous amount of the gel. It dries beautifully.
Even though I have fallen love with these products, I'm always trying new things and experimenting with different brands. Lately I have been seeing a lot of commercials about the John Frieda hair products. Especially the "Fizz Ease" line.
I have ordered some of the John Frieda products from Target that are specially designed for curly hair and will definitely be doing a blog post after trying them out.
(Most of the products I talked about can be found at CVS, Walmart or Target.)
