But, first of all, you need to check if your hair is in fact damaged, ok? So let’s see the signs of a damaged hair!
SIGNS YOUR HAIR IS DAMAGED
- Your hair is full of split ends: if you take a chunk of your hair and the ends look completely broken, it is a sign that your hair is in some serious need of repair.
- It looks frizzy: if your hair is full of frizz, it is a sign that it is lacking some moisture.
- You are suffering from hair loss: it is normal to lose around 50-100 hair strands per day, but if you are finding hair everywhere all day long, it probably means that it is really damaged.
- Your mane is super dry: if you find yourself doing conditioning treatments every week but your hair is still looking and feeling dry, it means that it is not absorbing moisture properly – a definite sign of damaged hair.
- It has no elasticity: if you extend a chunk of your hair and it breaks fastly, it means it needs help.
- If your hair is dyed, the color fades quickly: although it is expected for some fading to occur after dying your hair, if the color fades super fast, it is a sign your hair is harmed.
- After you wash it, it is soaking wet: if after you wash it and remove the excess water your hair is still wet, it means it needs hydration ASAP!
- It is hard to detangle: we all get tangled in our hair, but if when you try to detangle it seems impossible – even with the help of a detangling cream – it’s because of the damaged hair structure.
