9 Ways to Repair Dry, Damaged Hair
Dry and damaged hair is, unfortunately, very easily noticeable, making it a prominent thing about one’s overall look. From fired roots to raw ends, damaged hair can present itself in many ways. The key to repairing damaged hair is to switch to hair care products that add moisture, shine and nourishment to the strands. Wondering how to fix damaged hair? Here are 9 smart ways to revive the life in your dry, damaged hair.
WAYS TO TREAT DAMAGED HAIR
1. Switch to a more nourishing shampoo
While we all want our scalps to be clean at all times, using harsh shampoo frequently can do more harm than good to the hair. It could strip the natural oils off the hair, leaving it dry. Give your hair the tender love and care it deserves by opting for a shampoo, specially curated for dry and damaged hair. The Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo by Redken is a sulfate-free shampoo that provides ultimate strength repair, intense conditioning and hair color fade protection for damaged hair. It cleanses and softens the hair, giving it the optimal nourishment it needs.
2. Correctly condition your hair
Using a conditioner is essential after shampooing to replenish the moisture in the hair and lock it in for a long time. Skipping your hair conditioner may be one of the reasons your hair feels dry. Use a generous amount of Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner on your lengths and ends, after shampooing, and allow the product to thoroughly soak in before rinsing.
3. Avoid heat styling tools
Excessive heat exposure can leave the hair dry and damaged. Thankfully, not every hairstyle needs the help of a heat styling tool. You can create a plethora of hairstyles without using heat to repair damaged hair. You can opt for braids, a messy bun or add an unexpected twist of fun accessories to your hair and flaunt stunning hairstyles every day. However, if you are using a heat styling tool, do not forget to use a heat protectant spray and keep the heat settings low to protect your strands.
- 4. DEEP CONDITION EVERY WEEK
- 5. MOISTURISE DURING THE DAY
Give your hair the moisture boost it needs with a deep-conditioning hair mask once a week. To treat damaged hair, just apply the hair mask all over your hair, wrap your head in a scarf or a shower cap and hit the hay. Rinse your strands and let them air dry for silky, smooth strands.
Keep the moisture locked in your hair throughout the day using a leave-in conditioner. Redken’s One United Multi-benefit leave-in treatment works to condition and nourish your hair, while also adding smoothness and shine. It’s a must-have for anyone suffering from dry ends.
6. Trim the damaged ends
Revive the look of your hair by giving it a trim occasionally. If the split ends are not trimmed timely, they can travel up the hair shaft and damage the healthier part of the hair. You can simply trim your hair once in a while to get rid of damaged ends and enjoy flaunting healthier-looking, fresh strands.
- 7. AVOID WET BRUSHING
- 8. EXPERIMENT WITH HAIR COLORING TECHNIQUES
Your hair is most vulnerable when it is wet. Abrupt brushing and detangling at this stage can cause hair breakage and promote frizz, split ends and damage. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb and work from the bottom up. This way, you can remove your tangles while reducing the chances of damaging your hair.
