Repair Your Damaged Hair

There are many reasons why your hair can suffer damage. The main causes of damaged hair are:

• Perming and Chemical Staighteners
• Bleaching
• Highlights using high lift tint and bleach
• Continued use of high heat from blow drying and straightening your hair
• Chopping and changing your colour, red one day, blonde the next!
• Poor Health - Chemotherapy - Long term illness - your hair is the last part in the body to get nutrients so if you are or have been ill it will nearly always show in the hair. Even rapid weight loss can have a dramatic effect on the quality and condition of your hair

A repair haircare regime will start to build up the proteins in depleted hair in addition you could also put leave-in treatments that get dried into your hair.

Some key products to look out for are Keratin based foams which will strengthen the hair. Leave-in conditioning sprays will add moisture making the hair more managable and Argan oil based oils are now an essential hair and beauty must have to leave damaged hair shiny and tame and prevent hair breakage and split ends.

If your hair is damaged from over bleaching, over straightening then a repair range is essential. There is a difference between dry hair and damaged hair, make sure you look at the hair first and carry out some simple investigation to determine your hair's needs. If the cuticle has been damaged and the hair is cotton wool like or stretchy when wet, then it is damaged and needs repairing. Use Wella System Professional Repair System to return you hair to shiny well conditioned tresses. Shampoo your hair twice with System Professional Repair Shampoo then distribute the Repair Conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends and leave for at least 30 seconds then wash out. For further intensive treatment use Wella System Professional Repair Mask, this is the strongest mask in the entire range and is full of protein and keratin which is vital to keep your hair looking healthy. Silicones and cationic agents work to fill in the damaged sites on the cuticle layer of the hair to smooth it out.

If  your hair is dry use Wella System Professional Hydrate System to add moisture.
