Bleaching, dyeing, and heat styling are common practices in many of our hair routines. While you can use these hair care routines occasionally, doing a combination of all three on a regular basis will quickly damage your hair. Hair damaged by heat or bleach is no longer attractive. It can show up as mild dust in split ends (which is why regular trims are so important) or as a much more serious problem, such as hair breakage.
When you have damaged hair, it's important to know how to properly care for it, especially simple things like how often to wash your hair.
How often should you wash your hair?
Wash severely damaged hair (broken hair, brittle ends, and extremely dry), no more than twice a week. If you can wash your damaged hair once a week without it getting too greasy, try washing your hair once a week. For damaged hair, wash as little as possible.
To extend the time between washes, add dry shampoo to your routine. This will help keep your hair less greasy until the next wet wash.
How do you treat severely damaged hair?
When it comes to changing your hair care routine to address damaged strands, incorporate products and methods that focus on repairing and hydrating your hair.
1. Use shampoo for dry, damaged hair
If you have damaged hair, breakage, brittle ends and dryness, try Nubeà Sustenia Maintenance Shampoo - Damaged Hair 1000ml . Using shampoo specifically for damaged hair will help slowly restore your hair to avoid further damage.
2. Apply a mask every time you wash your hair
When your hair is severely damaged, apply a mask every time you wash your hair. The top choice is Nubeà Sustenia maintenance oil - Damaged hair 200 ml. Hair masks will help provide additional nutrients to help restore hair structure.
3. Only style your hair without using much heat
If your hair is significantly damaged, the last thing you should think about is heat styling. When you're repairing damaged hair, use low-temperature styles like overnight waves and braids.
4. Regularly trim the ends of your hair
After cutting off the damaged hair, you can focus on growing your hair long. After your first haircut, opt for regular trims every six to eight weeks to remove dry, brittle, and split ends that can lead to breakage.
