Tress For Success
If you have damaged hair, you know that it can be a frustrating and time-consuming process to try to restore it to its healthy, shiny state. But with the right hair care tips, you can help repair the damage and restore your hair's natural beauty. In the winter months our hair can become dry and brittle and this can lead to breakage and split ends. Often we need to adjust our hair care routine just like how we adjust our skincare routine as the seasons change from warm to cold and vice versa. Here are some simple steps you can start right now to combat damaged locks.
1. BeGentle
Damaged hair is fragile and prone to breakage, so it's important to be gentle when brushing and styling your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair, and avoid using hot tools like straighteners and curling irons.
2. Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Look for a shampoo and conditioner that's specifically designed for damaged hair, as they will contain ingredients that help to nourish and repair your hair. Moisturizing products with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and argan oil can help to restore moisture to your hair.
3. LimitHeatStyling
Heat styling can further damage already-damaged hair, so it's important to limit the use of hot tools. When you do use them, make sure to use a heat protectant spray or serum to help minimize damage. We like to use heat protectants with nourishing oils to prevent any further fallout once we wash out our heat style.
4. DeepCondition
Deep conditioning treatments can help to restore your hair's health and shine. Look for products that contain ingredients like keratin, protein, and vitamins to help repair damage and strengthen your hair. Individual hair masks are generally cheaper and a great way to try out a mask before you purchase the full-sized product.
5. ProtectYourHair
Sun, wind, and chlorine can all cause further damage to already-damaged hair. Protect your hair from the elements by wearing a hat or scarf, and use a swim cap when swimming to protect your hair from chlorine. Preventative steps like these prevent breakage and split ends and help maintain hair elasticity and strength.
6. TrimYourHair
Regular trims can help to remove split ends and prevent further damage to your hair. Visit a professional stylist every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair healthy and looking its best or give yourself an easy at home trim by simply snipping split ends when spotted. This easy at-home tip can save you lots of money while promoting hair growth.
