Frequent use of hair dryer and ironing, metal clips, coloring and increasing this leads to damage to the hair.They become dumb, naughty, quickly break, retain and do not hold volume.
As a result, the question arises: how to repair severely damaged hair?For this purpose, various masks and balms are used, which are easy to prepare at home, develop products from professional cosmetics introduced in specialty stores.In advanced cases, trichologists recommend resorting to salon procedures.We will talk about all these methods.
How to wash your hair
When the hair rods - along the entire length or only the nozzles - are damaged, ordinary shampoos are no longer appropriate.This is justified by the fact that the main preparation in most shampoos is sodium lauril sulfate (sodium lauril sulfate, SLS) obtained from palm oil.By penetrating under the raised flakes of the outer layer of damaged fur, SLS removes the water from the layers located deeper.As a result, the hair becomes even more dry and brittle, and their tips are taken over.In addition, chair sulfate has an irritating effect on the scalp.
Shampoos for restoring damaged and dyed hair should contain panthenol, glycine, collagen, food oils, fruit wax, vitamins (especially nicotinic acid, B12, B1), UV filter.The composition of the shampoo should be focused on solving specific problems.So if the hair:
- In addition to the above components, there must be a lecithin-emulgator substance consisting of various healthy fatty acids.
- After dry curl or prolonged coloring, buy shampoos containing silk proteins or other vegetable proteins.
- It is necessary to prepare for the subsequent summer vacation, when salt water and ultraviolet are acting on them, select shampoo, in the ingredients that indicate not only ultraviolet protection but also keratin.The latter, as an analogue of the natural component of the hair, will surround it with a protective film that prevents harmful effects.To improve the effect, you can also use masks and serums that include keratin.
- It is not badly damaged, but you plan to constantly color them (for example, for camouflage gray hair), buy shampoos with medicinal plants: birco, nettle, chamomile.
Therapeutic regenerating shampoos are now manufactured by many cosmetic companies.
Choosing the best shampoo to restore damaged hair from such a list is not easy - the effect will not come after one use and the probes will not help here.Dry hair with a damaged structure needs additional care products: masks (home, semi -professionals or professional), serums, oils, medicines in ampoules or in the form of lotion and salon care.

Salon procedures
Modern cosmetology has a large arsenal of procedures for the treatment of dry and damaged curls.So, in particular, hair restoration is done after bleaching, chemical curls, and in cases of trichological diseases (eg trehlhalase) when the hair is porous, dark, twisted.
Currently, the following procedures are performed in the salons:
- Restoration of keratin.In this case, the defects in the hair are full of keratin - a made protein, of which the hair consists almost completely.The effect of the procedure is shiny, smooth and straight hair, but it is short (up to 5 months).
- Lamination (bio-manipulation).In this case, the hair is dressed in a cellulose tool.The effect is similar to keratin, but lasts less - up to 1 month.
- Glazing.Hair Innolum Glaze, rich in ceramides - substances that give strength.Not only does it make the curls shiny, but it can also change the hair color (colored glazed) or make it more brush (colorless glass).
- Caureerization.This is a procedure - something between laminating and linision.It involves the application of a mixture that, under the influence of heat, penetrates deep into the rod and saturates it with nutrients, "sealing" microtransformations.
- Hot shell.In this case, the hair is saturated with protein (usually silk proteins), gaining a healthy and shiny appearance.The procedure can be performed at home (for example, advanced enjoyment), but in this case the effect will be a maximum of 1 week.
- Cysteine recovery.During the procedure, the hair is saturated with cysteine-amino acid, from which they then independently synthesize keratin.The effect lasts only 3 months.
- Shinting.Like other procedures, it saturates the rod with nutrients.Recommended for slightly damaged hair.
