Damaged hair can happen to anyone and hair damage goes beyond just having split ends. It could just be the beginning to other hosts of hair problems like dandruff and hair loss.

So how do you know if you have damaged hair? The best way is through a detailed scalp analysis that takes a closer look at your scalp and hair condition. More obvious signs include having dry and rough hair that’s lacking in shine.

There are different severity of damaged hair, from split ends to cracked and damaged cuticles when the damage is prolonged and permanent. Cuticles are the outer protective layer of our hair. When the cuticle is damaged, the hair is left exposed to even more damage.

What causes it?

Heat damage is one of the common cause. It could be from the environment but mainly from the heat treatments and styling procedures one might use such as hair relaxer and straightening.

These procedures uses heat mainly that can cause your hair to dry out and compromise the health of your hair causing the hair to become dry, rigid and brittle.

Chemical damage is also another common factor especially from the chemicals found in products used such as chemical hair dye.

In the case of some permanent hair dyes, higher levels of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia can be found. Ammonia breaks the outer cuticle around the hair shaft and hydrogen peroxide works by oxidizing and bleaching out the natural colour.

Diet plays a vital role in keeping your hair healthy by providing the necessary building blocks for our hair to work with and grow healthily. Some of us may not get the necessary nutrients in a balanced diet in our busy days. Not getting enough hydration is also a common problem.

So what can you do about damaged hair?

Depending on the cause for your damaged hair, you can also take a few simple steps to manage it and with proper hair care techniques and a few targeted treatments, you can be on your way to restoring your crown glory.

  • Reduce the exposure to chemicals by spacing out your hair dye sessions or switching to a natural organic alternative
  • Protect your hair from extended exposure to the sun and reduce the use of heat treatments or hot hair dryer
  • Aim for a balanced diet that provides your hair the necessary building blocks to work with as it regenerates
  • Getting a targeted hair treatment like our Oxygenation Mask can help to purify and nourish your hair, revitalizing it

Early detection is key to repairing damaged hair so it’s best to get started with a scalp analysis here.
