Restore your locks from root to tip

Broken ends, dull shine and frizzy hair that bounces in all directions can be a depressing feeling every morning. Damaged hair is often caused by a combination of heat, harsh products and simply not enough rest between colour treatments. The good news is that your hair can really recover if you consistently make the right choices in the shower, at the hairdresser and while styling at home. Start by taking photos of your hair in daylight. This way, after a month or two, you will see the difference new habits make. Also, keep a weekly routine in your diary, just like exercise sessions or dentist appointments. Consistency is the secret to stronger hair.

Gently cleanses and provides extra nourishment

The foundation of recovery lies in the shower. Eliminate all products with harsh sulfates and alcohols and buy shampoo that specifically suits your current state, not your dream state. Choose formulas with keratin, rice water or vegetable oils that close the cuticle. Massage these gently with your fingertips instead of your nails so that you do not irritate the scalp. Then rinse with lukewarm water and finish with cold water for extra shine. Always use a conditioner afterwards, even if it feels heavy. It closes the hair cuticles so that proteins really stay inside. In addition, use a mask once a week and wrap a warm towel on top to speed up the absorption. Then set a kitchen timer for ten minutes, longer does not make a mask more effective, but can weigh down fine hair.

Protect at every styling step

After washing, you can protect your locks from the blow dryer or straightener with a heat protector from Beautyplaza . You do this by wrapping a small amount of dry hair, from mid-lengths to ends. Then blow-dry on a medium setting and keep the blow-dryer moving constantly to avoid hotspots. Use a microfiber towel to absorb most of the moisture before blow-drying, because less time under the heat means less chance of damage to your hair. Let chemical treatments grow out instead of re-coloring. Furthermore, camouflage your regrowth with a temporary spray and only plan the next dye session when new lengths feel healthy. It is important to avoid elastics with metal, always choose satin scrunchies that do not pinch. Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction. This way you will wake up in the morning with less tangles and breakage.

Eat, trim and measure your results

The recovery of your hair also starts from within. Add proteins daily through eggs, nuts and legumes. Also drink enough water so that nutrients reach the hair root. It is advisable to have the ends cut every ten weeks, even if you want to grow it long. Dead ends tear further upwards and make your lengths increasingly thinner. Also test the elasticity every month, carefully pull out a wet hair.
