The Best Treatments For Dry, Damaged Hair
Hair damage doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone at any time. Whether it’s due to consistent wear and tear or an overnight occurrence, the best thing you can do for dry or damaged hair is to add a targeted treatment. Even if you’ve already found your perfect haircare regimen, consider these treatments your insurance policy.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF DRY & DAMAGED HAIR
Breakage, split ends, and dull colour are all common culprits of damaged hair. While some symptoms are obvious, others tend to silently overtake your hair. You might have noticed your hair starting to feel frizzy, or that it has an excess amount of tangles — these are signs of damage and dryness. So, whether you’re experiencing these or have just started to notice problems with brittleness, chances are you need to incorporate a treatment for dry, damaged hair into your routine.
IS MY HAIR DRY OR DAMAGED?
Dryness and damage are not mutually exclusive. While you can sometimes experience one without the other, they often coincide and can come from a variety of sources.
Dry hair is commonly a genetic trait, but it can also be caused by external factors like hard water, texture type, and lifestyle habits. Damage usually occurs due to environmental stressors like heat styling, over-processing, UV exposure or mechanical breakage. While dry hair is more prone to breaking, in most cases, damaged hair is also overly dry, which is why prevention and products that repair should be staples in any routine.
