That’s not the only thing that can damage hair, the list is almost endless.
Fortunately, damaged hair can be fixed, and you’re in the right place to find out how to do it!
Lower the Temperature
Hair doesn’t like too much heat. It dries the hair out which can lead to an increase in Sebum production and greasy hair. Drying it out also increases the likelihood of breakages and split ends.
That’s not desirable.
You can turn the heat down on your blow dryer and your straighteners or curlers. Choose the middle setting and you’ll get the same results without damaging your hair.
Check your Products

Change your Towel

Trim Split Ends
You probably know when you have split ends. But, you may not realize how important it is to trim them straight away. A split end is like a piece of cotton on a garment, pull it and the whole thread will unravel.
To prevent this happening and damaging your hair cut the split end off as soon as possible. Then, use fortifying shampoos and conditioners to prevent you from getting any more.
Hydrate
Your body is approximately 60% water, it’s essential to every cell. Water allows the passage of nutrients in and toxins out. It also fills cells, ensuring the cell is healthy. If you don’t drink enough water it will show in your skin and your hair. To prevent damage drink the recommended 8 glasses a day and use a hydrating shampoo. Your hair will almost instantly look better.

Change your Pillowcase
A cotton pillowcase can cause friction as your hair rubs against it overnight. To prevent this and allow your hair to repair itself, switch to a silk or satin pillowcase. You’ll notice the difference.
Check Your Diet
Hair is largely made of protein. If you’re not getting enough protein in your diet your hair will be lifeless and weak. Take a look at your daily eating habits and ditch the processed foods in favor of whole foods with plenty of protein.
