How to repair damaged
hair

It won’t hold its style, it's got no volume, and it's dry as a bone—damaged hair can be
stubborn, unruly, and a real pain to tame. But it's a mixture of environment, heat styling, and
just your regular hair regimen that leads to brittle locks, which means there are ways to
reverse those bad habits and help fix dry hair. See below for our colored hair treatment at
home and other tips and ways to repair damaged hair. Plus, learn about how our
TRESemmé Total Salon Repair Shampoo can restore nourishment to damaged hair. 

1. Protect from heat styling

Blow dryers, flat irons, curling wands—all must-have styling tools, right? But did you know
they can reach temperatures of up to 232°C? So, it's hardly surprising that these can leave
hair dry and damaged. That's where heat protection sprays come in: applied on damp hair
before blow drying, and again on dry tresses before using heated styling tools, they create
a barrier to help protect hair from harsh temperatures and keep it looking soft and shiny.

2. Calm down when combing

Did you know that hair is weakest when wet? It feels like the obvious time to brush hair
thoroughly, but repeated, vigorous combing can cause damage to the hair's cuticle, which
can cause split ends and breakage. To help protect against this, comb hair in the shower
after applying conditioner—it'll coat your hair strands and act like a barrier, making it easier
to work through knots and tangles. Opt for brushes with widely-spaced plastic bristles or
wide tooth combs—they give strands more space to move through, so that it doesn't take
too much force to detangle them—and work gently through hair in sections.

3. Care for colored hair

This a great way to mix up your style and try out something new—but as with any chemical
treatment, it can cause damage and dryness, making it more difficult to maintain shine and
volume. This is especially true when you bleach your hair and use a blonde hair dye or light
colors such as gray hair color, light gray hair color, silver gray hair color, light ash blonde
hair color, light ash brown, light golden blonde, light ash brown hair color, light blonde hair,
and the lightest blonde hair color. To help replenish moisture and maintain the vibrancy of
colored hair, you'll need to reinforce its natural protective layer using a wash and care
system specially formulated for dyed locks. This will target dryness and damage from hair
dyeing, helping nourish your hair and keep locks looking healthy.

And for the most amazing results, go for the best treatment for colored hair and the hair
treatment for bleached hair. Use TRESemmé’s keratin shampoo and keratin conditioner
range to achieve vibrant colored hair so you can flaunt and slay in your gray hair color, light
gray hair color, silver gray hair color, light ash blonde hair color, light ash brown, light
golden blonde, light ash brown hair color, light blonde hair, and the lightest blonde hair
color.

4. No need for excessive washing 

There's nothing quite like the feeling of freshly washed hair, but repeated washing can strip
your strands of moisture, causing it to become dry and brittle. Try to wash your hair less
frequently by using a dry shampoo in between washes – it'll help absorb oils and eliminate
odor for hair that looks and feels freshly washed. And when you do need to wash your
tresses, it's wise to choose a shampoo which gently cleanses and moisturizes your mane,
like the TRESemmé Platinum Strength Shampoo & Conditioner system: it targets dryness
and helps add moisture where your hair needs it most. 

So if you're constantly asking yourself "Why is my hair so dry?", the answer's probably in
your routine. Keep these simple tips in mind to know how to fix damaged hair and get ready
to welcome strong-feeling, healthy-looking locks!

And for the most amazing results, go for the best treatment for colored hair. Use it at least
once a week to achieve vibrant colored hair.
