How to Bring Back Life to Your Damaged Hair: Everything You Need to Know

Restoring dry and damaged hair can be a difficult task, but with the right products and techniques, it can be done.

What is Damaged Hair?

According to credible online sources, hair that is damaged is that which has developed cracks in the outside layer(the cuticle). Once your cuticle is exposed in this way, your hair is at a greater risk of further damage and breakage.

Hair damage comes in different forms like chemical damage, color damage, heat damage and more commonly, split ends.

Signs of damaged hair

• Your hair appears dull and dry
• Hair easily breaks when you tag on it
• Hair feels thick at the roots and thin at the tips
• Uneven hair color
• Frequent hair loss as you comb

How to restore damaged hair

1. Establish the cause

The first step is to identify the cause of the dryness and damage. Common causes include frequent heat styling, hair bleaching as well as use of harsh chemicals like sulfates in your hair.

2. Use products specially formulated to restore damaged hair

Look out for products that contain natural ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil and sunflower oil. These ingredients are known to help nourish and hydrate the hair. Additionally, such ingredients help to strengthen the hair and prevent breakage.
