The 1-2-3s for Great Hair of Any Hair Type: Damaged Hair

Bleaching, coloring, perms, straightening, blow-drying, heat styling, sun, wind, sea water, pool water, and rough treatment can all result in damage to your hair. If your hair has been mistreated by any of these (or other) factors, you should give the following tips a try:

1. Let your hair air dry as often as you possibly can, to give it a break from
further stress caused by heat styling.
2. When you have to use a hair dryer, use a diffusing attachment to “soften the
flow” and keep the heat to a minimum. In addition, try to direct the airflow
from the hair dryer away from the scalp along the hair shaft to prevent
roughing up the cuticle layer of the hair.
3. Give yourself deep conditioning treatments to build elasticity in damaged
tresses and to restore moisture. You should select conditioners rich in
proteins and moisture building agents for the best results.
