Your hair is one of the most important aspects of your
appearance. And while you may think that taking care of it is a complicated
routine, you can actually keep it healthy and beautiful with just a few simple
changes to your daily life. If you’ve been wondering how to take care of
damaged hair, here are some easy tips:

1.Don’t over-wash your hair.

The chemicals in most shampoos can leave your hair dry and brittle,
especially if your hair is already damaged or prone to dryness. Hair is mostly made
from keratin protein, and it needs a certain amount of moisture to be healthy.
Washing your hair too often can strip away the natural oils that give it its
shine.

    2. While you may need to wash your hair every day if you have an oily scalp, people with normal or dry hair types should limit washing their hair to no more than three times a week. Look for shampoos that are sulphate-free like Lakme deep care shampoo since they’re less harsh on the scalp and don’t strip away as much of the natural oil from your scalp and strands as regular shampoo does.

    3. And while you’re at it, take it a step further with a deep conditioning mask, like [Deep Conditioning Treatment, once or twice a week. “Even though you may think your hair doesn’t need additional moisture, most masks will nourish and hydrate your hair because they have proteins to help repair dry and damaged strands.” Apply the mask to wet hair after shampooing and leave in for three to five minutes before rinsing.

    4. There are products specifically for damaged hair: There are many products on the market that contain ingredients designed to reduce breakage and improve hair health. If you have damaged hair, you should seek out products specifically targeted at improving the condition of your hair. Some common examples include shampoos and conditioners formulated to nourish damaged hair, deep conditioning treatments known as “hair masks,” oils that moisturize dry and brittle strands, leave-in conditioners that help retain moisture throughout the day, or other styling products with added keratin or other nourishing ingredients.

   5.  Use a fresh towel when you get out of the shower: Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel. To avoid this, gently press it with a clean and dry towel or old t-shirt to soak up excess water. Don’t rub hair until it is dry.  Rubbing wet hair with a towel can cause damage to hair because wet hair is very delicate. It’s better to let your locks air dry, or if you have time, blow-dry it on the cool setting. Using heat styling tools on damp hair will only add to split ends and breakage over time.

   6. Go easy on the heat: Heat causes hair to become dry and brittle. Try not to blast it with hot water (above lukewarm) when you wash it.

   7. Cut out the chemicals: There are a lot of chemicals in hair products, and not all of them are good for you. Avoid products that contain formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, and sodium chloride—these can cause your hair to become dry, brittle and dull-looking over time.

    8.  To prevent the buildup of all these products in your hair, use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week to get rid of any dirt and residue that accumulates from using conditioners and styling sprays.

    9.  Be Patient: Avoid any product that promises an overnight miracle treatment that will restore your hair to its original quality and texture in just a few days; such claims are usually false or misleading because they may rely on short-term effects rather than overall improvements in the health of your hair. If you want healthy hair for life, be patient

In conclusion, if you love your hair, take care of it, before it is too late, right treatment and home care can repair the damage and save your hair.
