5 Expert Tips to Help Repair Damaged Hair
Increased exposure to pollutants and heat, weather factors and excessive styling could be causes for damaged hair – as life gets busier, dealing with hair damage becomes quite a challenge too. It can also get a bit tedious trying to figure out what active ingredients in hair care solutions address specific issues like dryness, tangles, or split ends. Samay Dutta – Director, Noir Luxury Blow Bar introduces you to some of the tried and tested methods and habits to help repair different kinds of hair damage.
Deep cleaning
Deep cleaning your hair is the initial stride in repairing damage and enhancing hair texture. Shampoo, conditioners, and even the water you use can make hair look loose and dead as well as cause split ends and a frail texture. Use a decent clarifying shampoo to get rid of product buildup and hard water roughness. Try deep cleansing twice a week.
Protect your hair from sun damage
Sun damage is one of the biggest perpetrators of hair damage including rough hair and weak ends. If you are not guarding your hair against the sun’s UV rays, now is the time to start this regime. Protect it using a UV protective shampoo and conditioner, followed by an intense hydrating mask to avoid further damage. Try covering your hair with a scarf or cap for better results.
Indulge in a hot oil treatment
Hot oil treatments are the best cures to infuse some shine and moisture in your dull hair. They are super simple to do right at home. You can apply your favourite hair oil, preferably coconut oil, to clean and towel-dried hair. Do heat the oil and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse out with cool water and shampoo for the best outcome.
Trim those split ends
Trimming your hair is the key to brighter and smoother hair. Split ends prevent the hair from breathing. Book an appointment after every 2 months for regular trims. Your stylist can simply “dust” the ends to keep your hair strong and un-frayed.
