A dry scalp and damaged shafts could be to blame for frizzy, dull and lifeless hair. Color-treated hair and hair that’s been exposed to too much sun and humidity can lose its ability to retain moisture. Your hair can become even more damaged when you use heated styling tools and a blow dryer on a regular basis. Since I live in a very hot, humid and sunny climate, I have to take extra steps to make sure my hair doesn’t dry out, and I use a deep-conditioning treatment at least once per week to keep my hair strong, healthy and shiny.
Whether you have fine hair, medium or thick hair, or color-treated hair, here are some important tips and strategies for adding moisture to dry hair and keeping your locks looking shiny and smooth:
1. Use a damage-repair ampoule at least once per week. If your hair has become very difficult to style, has lost its natural shine or won’t hold curls when using curlers or a curling iron, your strands have probably become dried out, excessively damaged and broken. You can use a damage-repair ampoule to restore your hair in just a few minutes and also protect your hair from future breakage. To get the most benefits from these products, work the ampoule evenly through your hair and leave it on for at least five minutes. You can wrap your hair in a hot towel so that the compounds can sink deeper into your scalp. Rinse out with warm water and style as usual for shinier, smoother and silkier hair.
2. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner regularly. Using hair care products that are right for your hair type is the first and most important step to ensuring your hair stays healthy and strong. Use a moisture-infusing shampoo and conditioner on a regular basis so that you can cleanse the scalp while adding moisture to damage strands. These hair care products contain several compounds and moisturizing agents that will help smooth out the cuticles, strengthen the hair and prevent further damage.
3. Apply a moisturizing hair treatment at least once per week. Whether you have fine hair, color-treated hair or thick hair, you can use a moisturizing hair treatment at least once per week to keep your strands shiny and strong and protect your hair against heat and styling damage. These rinse-off treatments contain several moisturizing and conditioning ingredients, and can make your hair super soft and more manageable. For best results, apply these products after shampooing and protect the hair before styling by using a heat-protectant spray.
There are several ways to keep your hair looking soft and luxurious, regardless of the temperature and climate. You can prevent your hair from drying out and breaking by letting your hair dry naturally whenever possible and avoiding over-brushing or over-combing your hair. Use these hair care products and styling tips to restore moisture to your hair and to make your hair stronger and more resilient.
