1 Symptoms of damaged hair
If your hair is showing the following symptoms, it is important to be mindful as it may be damaged and in need of immediate care.
- Rough: Instead of feeling soft when running your fingers through and stroking your hair from root to tip, it feels rough.
- Dryness: Dull, frizzy, and easily breakable hair are all indications of dry and frizzy hair.
- Split ends: If your hair easily falls out when combing and you notice white dots at the ends of your hair, it may be experiencing split ends.
- Messy hair: Damaged hair is not only dull but also easily tangled.
- Loss of elasticity: Gently stretching your hair and experiencing breakage or minimal shrinkage indicates damaged hair.
2 Causes
Lack of moisture
When hair lacks moisture, it loses its shine and becomes rough and dry. It is crucial to provide sufficient moisture to maintain healthy and shiny hair.
Unsuitable hair care products
Using low-quality hair care products or products that contain harmful chemicals can lead to hair damage over time. It is important to choose high-quality and suitable products for your hair.
Weather and surroundings
Weather and environmental factors can also contribute to hair damage. It is important to protect your hair from the sun and cover it during rain. Exposure to dirty and dusty environments can also negatively impact your hair.
Continuous use of styling products
Frequent use of heat styling tools, such as blow dryers and curling irons, or chemical services can dry out and weaken your hair. Limiting the use of these styling products to a few times a week can help minimize damage.
Using a heat protectant hair conditioner is important to prevent hair damage caused by high temperatures.
Using too many chemicals
Regularly using chemicals, such as hair dyes, can make it challenging to maintain strong and healthy hair. Chemical treatments can damage the outer cuticle of the hair, leading to severe damage over time.
3 Ways to take care
Replenish moisture
Providing your hair with essential moisture is the most effective way to repair damaged hair. Regularly conditioning your hair for about 15 minutes and washing it once a week can yield positive results.
Use conditioner
Make it a habit to use conditioner after shampooing to complete and enhance the effectiveness of your daily hair care routine. Conditioner not only makes your hair smoother but also supplies moisture to treat dry, frizzy, and split ends.
Regular use of conditioner can prevent future dryness and brittleness.
Wash your hair properly
Gently shampoo your hair and massage your scalp to stimulate hair follicles. Avoid scratching or rubbing your hair and scalp too vigorously. After shampooing, towel dry your hair gently or let it air dry instead of drying it completely.
Note: It is best to let your hair dry naturally or use a hair dryer with Ion technology to protect your hair better.
Strengthen nutrition care for damaged hair
Supplying essential nutrients to your hair internally and externally is an effective way to repair damaged hair. You can use specialized hair care products such as hair serum, vitamin H, or natural essential oils.
