This post is going to be all about how I got my hair back to healthy after years of damaging it. Quick disclaimer, this process does take quite some time but keep in mind that it did take a lot of time to damage your hair.
Heat Damage
I used to use heat on my hair on a daily basis and you can only imagine the damage it caused. Using tons of heat will dry out your hair and break it.
Tip 1: If you wash your hair everyday, then stop. Try to wash it as few times as you can. At first your scalp might feel oily but use some dry shampoo to revive your hair. I recommend the Batiste Dry Shampoo, you can find it at Target, Ulta, Walmart, and basically every where.
Recommendation: While we're on the topic of washing hair, I just want to shout out an amazing shampoo, whose smells lasts for days. It also makes my hair look really nice, it's the L'Oreal Triple Resist X3 Reinforcing Shampoo.
Tip 2: The easiest/ fastest way to salvage your hair is by stopping the use of heat altogether but I know how hard that is. Just don't use heat everyday, maybe once a week?Also make sure to use a heat protecting spray. I like all the TreSemmé heat protecting sprays, which can be found at Target, Sally's, Ulta, CVS, Walmart, etc.
Dying/bleaching
Bleaching is very bad for your hair, I've heard that it strips the nutrients right out of your hair. It also takes the moisture out of your hair.
Tip 3: Use hair masks. You can either make your own, I have a post with a few hair masks for different types of hair. I personally really like the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque, I know they have it at Target but it's 15 dollars cheaper on Amazon!
Vitamins
As much as most of us hate to admit it, our hair is connected to our body, in other words we need to eat the right stuff to make it grow and shine.
I take Biotin, it makes my nails stronger, my hair grow faster and makes my skin glow. Talk to your doctor about taking any sort of supplement.
Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Bye!
