you might want to look at diet.  I dont mean go on a diet, just the foods you are eating.  if you dont' eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables you may need to supplement with a good multivitamin.  also you may want to consider omega 3's.  try flax seed or fish oil.  Also for gray hair you want to eat lots of antioxidant packed food, this would include fresh fruits and vegetables.  if you smoke or drink, dont.  this can impact your hair as well.  on the topical side if things, you may want to do a hot oil treatment with something like olive oil.  :)

Do you use conditioner when you wash your hair? I used to have really dry hair until I started using it, and after that I use Sunsilk heat defence cream.

I know something that might help. I have horribly dry hair after having my thyroid removed. I mean, so dry that absolutely nothing worked. The other day I was at Walmart in the hair section and I started looking at the products for African/American women. I'm not African/American, I'm as white as can be with a head full of red, dried out hair!  I found this stuff called "Olive Oil" in a jar. It's a creamy olive oil that black women can put in their hair at night before they roll it. I bought it, put globs of it in my hair and combed it through and left it there overnight. The next morning my hair looked so much better. I didn't even have to wash it! It was shiny and healthy looking. The next night I put more in and washed it out the next morning and it made a huge difference. I put more in it after I styled it and it's amazing.
