Stop using heat on your hair.

Stop using heat on your hair.

Heat is a major cause of hair damage and it can take a long time to repair. If you’re going to wear your hair straight, get used to the idea that it will need more frequent touch-ups because heat makes the bonds in your strands weaker and more prone to breakage. And if you like curls, forget about curling irons! While they’re convenient, they won’t give you long-lasting results because their high temperatures break down the cuticle layer and cause dryness over time.

One way around this problem is by investing in some flat irons or other styling tools with low enough temperatures that won’t cause as much damage as traditional options do (although still not zero). You can also invest in products specifically designed for damaged hair like shampoos with keratin proteins or strengthening conditioners that can help restore strength back into each strand so less breakage occurs in future treatments—but please remember: always use them sparingly so as not to undo any progress made by limiting usage altogether!

Use a microfibre towel.

The second most important tip is to use a microfibre towel when you’re drying your hair. Microfibre towels are more absorbent than regular towels, meaning they can soak up more water from your hair while also being gentle and not causing damage to your strands.

Microfibre towels are also antibacterial, which means they won’t spread infections or diseases if you share them with someone else (which might happen if you take home someone else’s towel).

Get regular trims.

• Trims are important because they get rid of split ends, which can make your hair look dull and feel thin.
• Get a trim every 6-8 weeks. You should be able to tell when it’s time for a trim if you have shorter layers, or if the ends of your hair start to look frayed or stringy.
• Hair grows about 1/2 inch every month, so getting regular trims will help your hair look healthy and grow faster!

Add protein treatments to your routine.

Protein treatments are a great way to repair and restore damaged hair. Protein treatments can be DIY or done by a professional, but they’re worth the cost: you’ll only need them every 3-6 months, so they won’t break your bank account.

• Protein is the building block of healthy hair, so it’s important that you add it into your regimen if you have damaged locks!
• If your hair is extremely dry and brittle, consider adding in a weekly treatment of deep conditioning masks or oils that will help moisturize your tresses from within.

Watch how often you shampoo your hair.

The secret to healthy hair is a healthy scalp. The oil produced by your scalp moisturizes and protects the hair shaft, preventing damage and breakage. Washing too often strips this natural oil away, leaving your hair dry and brittle.

While some people are able to go several days between shampoos with no problem, others need to wash every day or two because their scalps produce excess oil (a condition known as seborrheic dermatitis). If you’re in that latter category and would like to stretch out the time between shampoos, try using a dry shampoo between washes—it’ll absorb excess oils so they don’t make it down onto your strands.

Choose a colour that compliments your skin tone.

While certain colouring can compliment different skin tones, it is important to be cautious when choosing a colour that compliments your skin tone. For example, if you have a warm complexion, you will want to avoid cool colours such as greens and blues because they increase the appearance of redness in the face. Instead, go with a more neutral or warmer shade like browns or even some red-orange tones. On the other hand, those who have cool complexions look best when using darker colours like plum or black because these shades blur out any redness in their skin tone while also adding depth and dimension.

Seek out a stylist who understands your hair type, texture and cut needs.

The first step to repairing your damaged hair is finding a stylist who understands the type, texture and cut needs of your hair. You may find that you have curly or wavy strands, which can be difficult to work with. It’s important for your stylist to understand how this type of texture works—or doesn’t work—and what products will best benefit it. If you have curly/wavy hair, it’s best to avoid getting any chemical treatments done at all as they can cause damage to your strands when they are applied directly on top of curls (even if they aren’t “curl friendly”).

Ask any potential stylists about their experience working with clients like yourself. You should also ask them what products they recommend using after styling so that you know exactly what each product does before buying it!

You should consider visiting a salon every six weeks or so so that they can do an update on where you’re at in terms of maintaining healthy hair growth–this will help ensure that everything stays looking great without being over-processed (which can happen very fast!).

Don’t let them talk you into going too light or dark, or short or long.

Hair stylists are great at their jobs. They know how to make people look good. But they can also be pretty persuasive when it comes to making you believe that what they’re suggesting is the right path for your hair. And while I’m sure they have some solid ideas, sometimes their recommendations are not in line with what you want or need—and that’s okay!

It’s important to remember that you should never let anyone talk you into going too light or dark, or cutting your locks short or long unless those hairstyles specifically fit your personality and lifestyle goals. Not everyone can pull off pixie cuts or bleach blonde streaks, but if those things sound like something for YOU then go for it! It’s all about knowing yourself and knowing which changes will work best for YOU!

You can repair damaged hair and create beautiful hair colour as long as you understand the basics of hair care and work with a skilled stylist

You can repair damaged hair and create beautiful hair colour as long as you understand the basics of hair care and work with a skilled stylist.

The first step is to find a good stylist who understands your needs. The best way to do this is by asking around your friends and family, but it’s also important that they have experience with the type of style you want. For example, if your goal is to have long, luscious locks like Liv Tyler or Chrissy Teigen, then finding an expert who specializes in natural-looking extensions would be ideal!

Once you’ve found someone who meets all these requirements (and any others), make sure they understand what type of texture you have before getting started on any maintenance plans. The texture of our hair determines how well each product will work on different parts of our bodies—so having someone who knows exactly where each strand ends up after any given treatment makes all the difference!
