It's a question we've all asked. Whether it's from bleaching too often or overusing styling tools, damaged hair can take a toll on even the most careful of people. If you feel like your hair has reached its breaking point, here's a guide to identifying the damage and restoring it.
How to understand that hair is damaged?
Signs of damage:
-
Lack of shine – hair looks brittle and dry like straw.
-
Split ends – twist the strand and look at the ends. If they split into two or more parts, they are damaged.
-
Dryness – damaged hair is always dry because the cuticle is unable to retain moisture.
-
Loss of elasticity – healthy hair can stretch, but damaged hair breaks easily.
-
Knots and tangles – cuticles become rough, hair becomes tangled and breaks easily.
-
Breakage – if hair breaks when combed or touched, it is damaged.
How to restore damaged hair?
1. Trim the ends
Regular trimming helps get rid of split ends, promoting a healthier, thicker look. Even a small trim can make a big difference.
2. Repair split ends
Use pH Balance Fibre Sealing Split Ends Treatment , which with Cuticle Smoothing Technology helps repair cuticles, reduce split ends and frizz.
3. Build carefully
Avoid tight hairstyles that cause tension and damage. Instead, opt for loose updos, loose braids, or loose ponytails.
4. Choose the right products
The Grow Gorgeous Repair line with shea butter, carob peptides, and bamboo extract intensively nourishes and restores the hair structure, making it stronger and healthier.
5. Limit the heat
Reduce the heat level of your hair straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers. Choose a cooler airflow and don't use them in one place for too long.
6. Use a silk pillowcase
Silk reduces friction and helps prevent hair breakage while you sleep. An added bonus is its anti-aging effect on the skin.
7. Balanced diet
Healthy hair starts from the inside out. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, protein, and vitamins to strengthen your hair from the roots.
Result
With the right routine, damaged hair is not a sentence. With regular care, the right products, and a healthy lifestyle, shine, elasticity, and vitality can be restored.
