HANDLING DAMAGED HAIR

Is your hair somewhat damaged or totally trashed? And, what can you do when it‘s true that you can’t mend split ends? Here’s the latest on hair that’s hurting, along the lines of prevent, correct and protect.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR DAMAGE?

one of the leading causes of hair damage is tight hairstyles and tight ponytails . But really,  chemicals contribute more.

Most common causes of hair damage are:

1. Relaxing, Straightening and Texturizing/Perming

Only re touch your roots, and correct dryness with leave-in conditioner's and avoid salt water .

 Once hair has been chemically straightened (or texturized to either create or loosen curl), use moisturising products daily, deep-condition weekly and dial down the heat when styling.

2. Bleaching and Colouring

Repeated applications are what usually create trouble,the protective cuticle gets opened with every application to allow the product into the cortex. The hair has no ability to close the cuticle back down on its own or repair itself.”

 Moisturizers, keratin protein and amino acids will help—if they penetrate to the cortex, they seal the cuticle. 
 To avoid damage when home-coloring, apply the colour to the new growth only. 

Color Flash: Never use bleach-based lighteners on relaxed hair—it will break!
