Cut damaged hair before it wreaks havoc over your entire head. Your hair can't grow when it's being hindered by these damaged parts. If you're reluctant about getting rid of the hair because of decreased length, don't be. Having long hair that is completely damaged, dry and brittle is harder to manage.
Make a fresh start by cutting off the damage and allowing your hair to begin a healthier growth period. Regular trimming automatically prevents split ends from climbing up to your roots. Damage never stays in one area and can happen quickly with daily styling. Create a monthly schedule to check for any heat-damaged areas, broken parts or split ends before they become troublesome. -
Limit the amount of heat applied to your hair. Although your hair may look fabulous for the moment, your heat styling tool can cause long-term damage. If possible, use foam rollers to curl your hair and get a fashionable look. Curling irons produce curls in a few seconds, but they also fry your hair because of the excessive heat.
Reduce the temperature of your blow dryer whenever possible. You don't have to always use the highest setting to get desired results. When you're not in a rush, consider letting your hair dry naturally. Protection from heat damage and possible breakage are two of the most common benefits of doing this. - Apply large amounts of conditioner to your hair regularly. On a weekly basis, use a moisturizing conditioner made specifically for extra dry hair. It will add the important nutrients, oils and vitamins needed to promote longer and healthier hair. Allow the conditioner to remain for at least 30 minutes for more penetration into the hair shafts. Use a deep conditioning treatment or mask to repair major damage and rejuvenate your scalp
- Eat a well-balanced meal and take multivitamins daily. If you're having trouble with hair thinning or breakage, your diet may be lacking the vital components that stimulate healthy hair growth. Drink water to keep your body and hair moisturized. Create a daily exercise schedule to get blood flowing throughout your body and improve your circulation.
