The Best Treatments for Dry, Damaged Hair

Hair damage doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone at any time. Whether it’s due to consistent wear and tear or an overnight occurrence, the best thing you can do for dry or damaged hair is to add a targeted treatment. Even if you’re already obsessed with your current care regimen, consider these treatments your insurance policy — they can be added on to any routine to restore and repair damaged hair.

Breakage, split ends, dull colour — these are all common culprits of damaged hair. And while some symptoms are obvious, others tend to silently overtake your style. You might have noticed your hair starting to feel frizzy or an excess amount of tangles — these too are signs of damage and dryness. So, whether you’re experiencing these or have just started to notice problems with combability and brittleness, chances are you need to work a treatment for dry, damaged hair into your routine.

Dryness and damage are not mutually exclusive. And while you can sometimes experience one without the other, they often coincide and can come from a variety of sources.

Dry hair is commonly a genetic trait, but it can also be caused by external factors like hard water, texture type, and lifestyle habits. Damage usually occurs due to environmental stressors like heat styling, over-processing, UV exposure or mechanical breakage. And while dry hair is more prone to breaking, in most cases, damaged hair is also overly dry, which is why prevention and products that repair should be staples in any care routine.

Adding a masque to your weekly treatment schedule is a great low-maintenance option for healthy hair upkeep. Ideal to add moisture and hydration, enhance body, or rejuvenation choose from HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE, ANGEL.MASQUE and YOUNG.AGAIN MASQUE. Each delivers an intense dose of deep condition, strength and repair where, when, and how hair needs it most.

Heat styling is one of the top ways hair becomes damaged. For this reason, anytime you style — whether it’s blow-drying, curling, or flat ironing — you should add a heat protectant to your routine. Making it easy to style and treat your hair, HEATED.DEFENSE is a leave-in treatment in a lightweight foam form that protects your hair from heat damage up to 232˚C / 450˚F. Offering top of the line protection but with a lightweight feel, your style will never even know it was there.

Even if your normal routine is to simply wash and wear your hair, you still need protection. From safeguarding your strands to providing intense repair and nourishment, LEAVE-IN.REPAIR repairs and restores damage at the source. With a weightless finish that also improves your shine factor, this treatment can also be used to guard against heat styling up to 200°F / 93°C if that’s on your agenda.

And if you choose to heat style, this leave-in can also guard against the impacts of damage from heat.

Use LEAVE-IN.REPAIR on its own or for a full fledged system that targets damage and restores from the start, invest in REPAIR. Which includes REPAIR-ME.WASH, RINSE and RE.STORE, an entire system that targets damage, strengthens and restores dry, damaged or over-processed hair.

Damage shows up to the naked eye as split-ends or breakage. But, looking closely, damaged hair usually means that there is damage to the bonds within each strand. In damaged hair, bonds are usually broken or missing, so by adding a bond-building formula to your hair care routine you can rebuild those broken bonds, leading to stronger, repaired, more resilient hair.

Easily add EVERLASTING.COLOUR TREATMENT + LEAVE-IN to your weekly maintenance routine to weightlessly nourish and restore the hair by building bonds, enhancing shine and protecting hair from further colour fade and environmental damage.

With luxurious Immortelle this luxurious oil can be used when styling or as a daily treat to improve your hair’s resistance to breakage and protect against environmental stressors and thermal heat damage up to 450°F / 230°C.
