No matter if you regularly bleach, use heat styling tools or have naturally oily locks; external factors like weather and products can damage strands. With the appropriate treatment for damaged hair strands, however, repairs and revival can occur.
Heat Protectant Spray
Heat protectants act as a shield between your strands and high temperatures from styling tools, preventing direct contact and breaking down of keratin within each hair strand. They come in spray, cream, and oil formulas to tame frizz, condition your locks, add shine, and block out humidity.
Experts advise spritzing a few sprays onto your locks prior to using hot styling tools in order to minimize damage and maintain healthy, sleek styles. Lightweight products with strengthening ingredients like amino acids or keratin will provide added defense against heat-induced damage.
Heat protection sprays often need to be applied directly onto damp hair before use; others can work equally well whether applied wet or dry – please referring to product instructions to see which option would best meet your needs.
Deep Conditioner
Everyday wear and tear combined with heat styling can deplete your natural moisture, leaving it dehydrated and vulnerable to damage. Deep conditioning your locks regularly with a moisturizing conditioner is the key to maintaining its hydration levels and minimizing breakage or damage.
With antioxidants, vitamins and botanical oils packed into this rich deep conditioner, hydration for healthy locks becomes easy. Perfect for dry or damaged locks prone to frizz and flyaways while helping boost volume and shine for full-bodied, luxurious locks!
This rich formula, packed with shea butter, olive oil, marula oil and other botanical oils to support strength and repair of damaged tresses, makes an excellent monthly or bimonthly treatment option for severely damaged locks. Safe to use on color-treated hair while helping maintain vibrant highlights with reduced breakage for silky-soft strands that are irresistibly soft; gentle enough to use both on damp or dry locks, as well as being used as pre-styling serum.
Styling Cream
Damaged hair is usually the result of salon processes like color and bleaching, thermal tools like blow dryers, flat irons and curlers as well as environmental influences like sunlight. To treat damaged strands effectively and soften them into silkier tresses that are easier to manage and style, products designed specifically to deliver moisture right where it’s needed are ideal.
Styling creams (also referred to as styling creme or combing cream) are applied during the styling process and offer many advantages, including taming frizz, providing light hold, and increasing shine. Ideal for styling medium to long length hair lengths; styling creams also make an excellent addition to heat protectant spray.
Start with clean, towel-dried hair that isn’t too wet, then apply a small amount of styling cream using your fingers for even distribution and shaping into desired style.
Hair Mask
Hair masks can make an immense difference for dry, frizzy or colour-treated locks by providing intensive conditioning treatment that restores their elasticity and shine. Deep conditioning treatments like this one can be particularly helpful for those suffering from dry, frizzy or colour treated locks as it helps restore elasticity and shine to damaged strands.
Look for a mask that’s free of potentially problematic ingredients and tailored specifically to address your individual concerns. The best masks contain moisturizing and restorative ingredients such as shea butter and natural, nutrient-rich oils (peach kernel, olive, argan or coconut).
For maximum hair repair, look for a mask containing hydrolyzed protein. These proteins have been broken down so as to avoid depositing too many on your strands at once and leading to brittleness. When applying such a product, remember to rinse well with either warm or cool water afterwards as long-term exposure could cause “hygral fatigue,” leading to weak and brittle locks.
