Damaged Hair Treatment

by Ann McKee⁽²⁾

Damaged hair treatment products can really help bring your hair back to normal if used consistently and over some period of time. But while you are using these treatments you also need to treat your hair right and switch over to a natural hair regiment as much as possible. This means no styling tools like blow dryers, straighteners, and curlers. Although damaged hair can be remedied to some degree by hair treatments, if your hair is extremely damaged you may need to sacrifice the worst parts of it by chopping the ends off. But don't panic, it grows back and this time around it will be healthy if you follow the tips below. Hair care can be easy.

Treat your hair to homemade deep conditioning using these recipes to restore and rejuvenate your damaged hair. Apply a generous amount of mayonnaise or eggs to your entire head and leave in for 10 to 60 minutes - the longer the better. Make sure to rinse well with cool water. Use this treatment a minimum of once a week and you will see a difference in the feel of your hair. You can also use any oil like coconut, jojoba, or emu oil for these treatments. For oily hair apply it only to the damaged parts and the ends. After putting the oil on, wrap your head with plastic and cover with a towel to keep the heat in so oil can penetrate and do its magic. Be sure to rinse well and shampoo all the oil out and finish with a moisturizing conditioner.

Don't

Be very gentle to your hair while it's wet. Do not towel dry it vigorously and do not brush it. A wide tooth comb works best.
Stay away from blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons as much as possible. If you must use these, wait until your hair is almost dry and use only for the final touch.
Never set any styling tool on its hottest setting. This is the most damaging.
Do not use any styling products that lists alcohol as one of its top ingredients.

Use conditioner every time you shampoo. Use a deep or daily condition that moisturizes and is specifically designed for damaged and stressed hair.
Try a leave-in conditioner to protect your tresses all day.
Use brushes with natural bristles for styling as this is gentlest on your hair and leaves the best shine and smoothness.
