1. Trim the Damage
Get a trim to remove split ends and prevent further breakage.
If your hair is severely damaged, consider a significant cut to promote healthier growth.
2. Deep Hydration & Repair
Use a deep conditioning mask at least once a week with ingredients like keratin, protein, or she a butter.
Leave-in conditioners help restore moisture and protect against further damage.
3. Gentle Washing Routine
Use sulfate-free shampoos that cleanse without stripping natural oils.
Wash less frequently(2-3 times per week) to retain natural moisture.
4. Protein Treatments
If your hair is weak and breaking, try protein treatments to strengthen it.
Be cautious—too much protein can make hair stiff and prone to breaking. Balance with moisture.
5. Reduce Heat Styling
Avoid blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons as much as possible.
If you must use heat, *apply a heat protectant* and use the lowest setting.
6. Repair Chemical Damage
If you have color or chemically treated hair, use products designed for color-treated or processed hair.
To rebuild the structure of your hair, think about “bond-repair treatments” like Olaplex or K18.
7. Protect Against Environmental Damage
Use a UV-protectant spray or wear a hat when exposed to the sun.
Rinse hair with clean water before and after swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean.
8. Healthy Diet & Supplements
Eat a balanced diet rich in biotin, omega-3s, and protein.
Take a look at supplements like collagen, biotin, or vitamins for your hair.
9. Use Silk or Satin Pillowcases
Reduces friction and prevents hair breakage while you sleep.
10. Patience & Consistency
Hair repair takes time; be consistent with your routine.
