How Do You Treat & Restore Dry, Damaged Hair?
Aside from consulting your hairdresser on whether or not your hair will need a good trim to remove the damage, there are some changes you can make to your haircare routine that will help. An excellent starting point is switching to a shampoo that is specially formulated for dry and damaged hair. These shampoos help rebuild your hair fibres, whilst nourishing and moisturising each strand.
Other ways to help restore moisture and hydrate your tresses are:
- Use a nourishing shampoo in place of your regular shampoo. This will help to lock in essential moisture.
- Use a hydrating hair mask twice a week to deeply condition and treat thirsty locks.
- Reduce your use of heat tools on your hair where possible. Instead use products like the Aquis Hair Towel to dry your hair naturally.
- When your hair is wet, use a detangling brush in place of your regular one. This will help reduce pressure and breakage on your hair fibres.
- Wrap your hair in a silk turban when sleeping to prevent stress and breakage.
