actually, if you have dry scalp, a hydrating spray conditioner will put moisture back into your scalp. The problem that drys your scalp out, is over conditioning. You're more so supposed to focus on your ends first anyway. You're not supposed to use a ton of conditioner which is why a lot of conditioners last longer in your shower, and you run out of shampoo first. There's a such thing as over conditioning your hair too, if you constantly use super hydrating conditioner you will dry your hair out. If you use reconstructing conditioner with protein, your hair may break off. You should switch between a conditioner and a detangler, or something that is labeled light conditioner.
