4 Ways to Repair & Fix Damaged Hair

1. Lower the Temperature on Your Tools

One of the biggest mistakes people make is setting the temperature too high when styling hair with heat. Unless you have super thick or coarse hair, you’ll get the job done with a mid-range temperature-setting on your tools. And skip the heat styling altogether when possible. Check out air-dry formulas that help form and hold your hair without heat. When you do hit the heat, always use a heat protection product to shield your hair from thermal damage.

2. Handle Wet Hair with Care

Any hair is at its most vulnerable when it’s wet. And the potential for damage really accelerates if your wet hair is fine, curly or fragile. So handle with care. When you step out of the shower, skip vigorous rubbing. Instead, gently blot your hair with a fluffy towel, or better still, with a microfiber cloth or soft t-shirt. Doing this avoids friction that can put stress on vulnerable hair. Don’t secure your hair with an elastic band when it’s wet either—that can cause breakage.

3. Trim Your Split Ends

To keep split ends from getting out of control, visit your hairstylist for regular trims. You don’t have to lose much length at all—your stylist can simply “dust” the ends to keep your hair healthy, strong and un-frayed.

4. Don’t Let Your Hair Get Thirsty

Dry hair is the number one cause of damage and hair breakage because if your hair doesn’t have the optimal level of moisture it will become brittle and fragile, just like your skin. If you’re prone to dry hair, embrace a moisturizing regimen that includes a hydrating shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in product or hair serum. It’s the easiest way to prevent your strands from becoming parched.

5. Apply hair growth serum

I use FEG every day. I focus on using this product on thinning hair, and baldness, and then gently massaging. This not only nourishes the hair to grow longer, thicker in a short time but also helps my hair to be stronger, with no more breakage than before.
