I spend quite a bit on conditioners, but less than I used to when I was colouring it. Also I don't bother with blow-drying or any other treatments. I believe the best thing I ever did was to stop colouring. My hair is softer, smoother and I haven't had a single split end in ten years. Colouring and other treatments such as blow-drying and hot rollers, perms etc are bad for the structure of the hair when used continually for many years. The difference between your winter and summer hair tells me dryness caused by treatments may be part of your problem.
