Hi Healthies,

Today we are going to discuss how to reverse the damage in your hair and get your childhood's healthy and shiny hair back.  As we grow, we start using new products and style our hair using different treatments that damages our hair and it looses most of their shine and texture.  The fact that hair is nonliving and does not heal itself once it is injured, force us to take care of it more seriously.

 So, it's clear that once the hair gets damaged it cannot be healed and the only solution is the growth of new hair from the scalp.  Products and treatments like hair dyes, perming, straightening, blow dry etc can make your hair look beautiful for sometime but all these treatments only damages your hair and affect it adversely.  And finally, you end up with dried-out and frizzy hairs.

Hair has a protective layering of fat on the outside which makes them look shiny.  When you apply chemical products on your hair, this layering is removed and hair loses its natural moisturizers, which makes your hair appear dry.  Another reason of dry and damaged hair is heat treatment which makes the water on the hair to heat and turn it into steam.  Hair bubble then occur on the hair shaft which results in loss of cuticle and hair smells burned, frizzy ends and hair that breaks easilyProtecting hair from too much heat is essential to maintaining healthy hair.


 Some Recommendations For Chemically Treated Hair - 

Dimethicone, an ingredient in hair care product, leaves a sort of covering on the hair strands, it can also make hair appear shinier.  It is used particularly in conditioners and de-tanglers, where the ingredient helps smooth hair and provide better comb-through.  Go for hair products that contain dimethicone in it.

Try hair serums.  Apply it through the length of the hair, don't apply it on scalp.

Don't dye your hair.  Go for natural hair color instead.  Chemicals in dye damage the upper layer of the hair and leave them dry and damaged.

If dyeing is must go for your natural hair color shade.  If you want different shade than your natural hair color, go for one shade lighter or darker.  Don't over do with colors as greater the difference in shade chosen by you and natural color of your hair and longer the hair colour is left to develop, the more intense is the damage.  Go for darker color dye rather than lighter.

Use conditioning shampoos and conditioners regularly to improve the appearance.  2 in 1 shampoo is also a good choice.  They clean the hairs, removes oil and condition your hair in the rinse phase.

Some Recommendations For Heat-Damaged Hair - 

Hair damaged by heat cannot be repaired, as the affected hair will need to be cut off and allowed to regrow as healthy hair.  Allow hair to air dry, when possible.

Do not use your dryer on the highest setting.  Set it to the lowest and then increase the heat level gradually.

Use moist towel between your hair and ceramic device and protect your hair from direct heat.

Control the amount of direct heat on your hair.  Always use the lowest possible heat setting.

Condition your hair regularly to hide the damaged hair.  But stopping the heat treatment is necessary for the healthy hair.

Some Recommendations For Chemical + Heat Damaged Hair

Keratin hair straightening, combination of chemical and heat treatment to rearrange the hairs natural
bond is even more damaging.  To regain your natural hair shine and decrease the damaging affect on the hair, follow the following tips-

Avoid this procedure if you have tightly kinked hair.  

Don't get this treatment too often and increase the time between  the treatments.  

Use generous amount of conditioner after every wash.

If the damage from the treatment is too much,  stop the procedure and let new hair growth replace damaged hair.

SOME MORE TIPS FOR HEALTHY HAIR -
