How Can I Repair Damaged Hair?

A variety of curly hairstyles always make us look different, and who can resist the effect of good-looking hairstyles brought by heat styling? It should be noted that styling by heating too often can damage your 32 inch bundles. Today, I will introduce you to several repair methods.

1. What causes natural hair thermal damage?

It's not just using hot tools like irons, curling irons, and hair dryers. While using hot tools increases the chance of curling heat damage, improper use is the biggest culprit. A major cause of heat-damaged hair is not using a heat protectant to protect your HD frontal wigs.

Whether you straighten your hair regularly or occasionally, a heat protectant should be part of your hair care routine.

Another way you can cause natural heat damage to your hair is to use tools like flat irons and curling irons at temperatures above 350 to 400 degrees, which should be your breaking point. And be sure to limit the number of times the heat tool is delivered to the hair to help keep the curls in shape.

2. If you notice any of the following, your hair may have been damaged:

rough or brittle hair texture

damaged

loss of hair's usual luster

Your hair feels dry (or really dry!)

You're having trouble styling, curling, or coloring

your hair is prone to knots and tangles

your hair lacks elasticity

3. How to quickly repair heat-damaged hair?

3.1 Immediately switch to a delicate nourishing shampoo.

Mild, prescriptive shampoos are fine, but should not be used if you have severe heat damage. Also take into account the changing use of cold or lukewarm water to scrub your hair instead of getting bogged down, and keep shampooing as few times as possible. This allows your hair's natural oils to nourish the strands.

3.2 Using protein therapy

A good place to start is to restore your hair's natural proteins with a protein treatment, keratin spray, leave-in conditioner, or hair mask. These leave-in treatments ease and repair broken bonds in the hair follicles while introducing some additional nutrients, lipids, and proteins. Ingredients to look for in protein treatments include keratin, yogurt, creatine, B vitamins, honey, and nourishing oils (olive and coconut oils are fairly common).

If you are hesitant or have never had a protein treatment before, we recommend seeing a stylist for a professional treatment! From there, for severely damaged hair, you can expect an at-home protein treatment every two weeks for two or even three months.

3.3 Lock in moisture with deep care

A deep conditioning and moisturizing hair mask are ideal to help tame frizz, detangle tangles, and restore brittle hair caused by heat damage.

Ingredients to look for in hair moisturizers include shea and coconut oils, jojoba, avocado, aloe, and honey. These are like food that seals the moisture in the hair follicles. Combine them with protein treatments and you can restore elasticity and eliminate the dreaded heat damage dullness!

4. How to stop thermal damage?

Reduce the number of hair dyes

If you color your hair frequently, please reduce the frequency of coloring. Did you know that dying and bleaching can make your hair more susceptible to heat damage!? Extend the time between coloring by using a sulfate-free shampoo (as they cause discoloration), shampooing less frequently, and rinsing your hair with cold water.

Lower the temperature

Most curls try to stay below 350 degrees or 375 degrees. Getting a fresh and relaxed look can be challenging, but at least you're not compromising the health of your hair.

Use a heat protectant

Not only does silicone reduce the likelihood of damage from direct heat exposure to the board, but it also helps reduce airborne moisture entering the hair shaft and restores curls. Remember to apply a heat protectant while your hair is damp and before the drying process to seal in moisture.

Hopefully, the above steps will help you understand how to repair heat-damaged hair, and if you find it too troublesome, you can leave it to a professional stylist.
