Damaged Hair Ends: How to Help Your Hair Reboot

1. Use a Repairing System
We are all about using a shampoo and conditioner that’s designed for your hair type. For those with split or damaged hair ends, use Dove Hair Therapy Rescue & Protect Shampoo and Dove Hair Rescue Conditioner. This set is infused with keratin, lipids and coconut oil, which help strengthen the bond between the hair fiber and smoothen out external damage.
2. Get Regular Trims
The best way to get rid of damaged hair ends (and promote healthy hair) is to get regular trims. This doesn’t have to include a dramatic haircut, but simply an inch (or more) depending on the level of damage. In general, opt to visit your hairdresser every six to eight weeks. By cutting your hair ends, you’ll be preventing further fracturing up the hair strands. Trust us, this simple technique will help you in the long run.
3. Minimize Heat Styling.
Heated tools whether it’s blowdryers, straightening irons, curling tongs or heated rollers can cause damage to your hair ends, especially if you use them on the daily. To help your damaged hair, try to cut down on their use. It is important to give the hair a break a once in a while so the hair and the scalp and try to repair itself. If you find that you do have to use heat styling tools, make sure to protect your hair with some heat protectant, like TRESemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray.
4. Use a Hair Mask
We love hair masks for our home hair care regimen. Usually creamy in texture, hair masks work to repair dry and damaged hair ends as they boost moisture into the hair. Try out Nexxus Humectress Moisture Restoring Masque whose formula helps bind moisture deep within each hair fiber by using Elastin Protein!
5. Use a Leave-In Conditioner
Dry and damaged hair generally needs more moisture. One easy thing that you can do is use some leave-in conditioner. This daily product can help you to smooth out any damage as it leaves your hair feeling smooth.
6. Comb Your Hair Before Washing
You’re probably in the camp of brushing or combing your hair after you wash it. However, those with damaged ends should opt to brush or comb it before they wash. Since hair is generally weaker when it’s wet, this will enable you to prevent some of the wear and tear that comes post-washing. Doing this will also help to get out any knots and detangles.
