7 tricks that will help you save your damaged hair | the insider.
Do you envy the hair of celebrities? Don't you understand why you and your mane can't understand each other? Surely you've been using straighteners, curling irons, dryers, keratin and everything else that has come your way for years with the idea of smoothing it... all you've done is create a monster. Don't cut it! Before review the tips of The Insider and save it from the scissors.
7 tricks that will show you how to save your damaged hair (before you reach the scissors)
1 Protect it from its worst enemy: heat
The editor's opinion: Try not to style your hair with devices that use heat: brushes, dryers, irons, curling irons, etc. If you can't avoid it, apply a protector. It's like wearing sunscreen on the beach. This spray will help protect it from thermal damage and breakage, as well as nourish it with vitamins and proteins.
2 Clean it to the extreme
The editor opines: You need to get to the bottom of the damage. With this shampoo you will do it because there will be no other that cleanses your scalp so deeply and with such efficiency. He just remembers that even though it's supposed to condition hair, his formula doesn't help detangle it. It is made with essential oils and ingredients of natural origin.
3 pamper him
The editor thinks: If you apply creams, patches, masks and everything that has been and will be to your little face, why aren't you the same with your little hair? Try this treatment. Some might say it's magical because it reverses damage from bleaching, dyeing, chemical treatments, and heat in just 4 minutes. Literally, this hair mask has everyone going crazy. Join the fans and recover the strength, softness, smoothness and vitality of your hair.
There is the expensive option. The one Kim Kardashian wears. The Olaplex No. 3, a super famous restorative treatment with many followers, although this time I will not join the cause.
If you don't want to spend, opt for coconut butter.
4 Teach him to shine
The Editor Says: All that dyeing and bleaching is making it dehydrated... If you visit the salon often, give your hair some TLC with this product. Not only does it help you prolong the color, but it also protects it and fills it with shine. Try to use it every four weeks, that is, every time you paint your hair.
5 don't wash it so often
The editor says: Other enemies of your hair are soap and water, so it is recommended not to wash it so often. If reaching this point is impossible for you because your hair is very greasy, resort to dry shampoo. Just put it on the root, apply massage, brush it and voila: two more days of clean hair. This one that I recommend also has a touch of color to cover gray hair.
6 feel rapunzel
The editor opines: There is the best brush in the world. Really. It's the Mason Pearson. In addition to untangling it and protecting the fibers of your hair, it will not break it even by mistake. Look for it on sale and, if you can, buy it! It will last you a lifetime.
If you want a cheap alternative, follow my barber's advice and look to Stotts. It's supposed to work exactly the same.
Surely now you're wondering: And how is it that the hair does not break? I have the answer (obviously): Because of its metal bristles. (Wink, wink)
7 Invest in a good hairdresser.
The editor opines: Maybe you're totally Do It Yourself and do a lot of things yourself for your hair. But cutting it off is definitely not one of them. Look for your hairdresser until you find him. Really, propose it, without pretexts or haggling. The mirror will know that the investment was worth it.
