How to restore chemically treated hair

Dealing with Brittle, Chemically Treated Hair Hurts Confidence

You run your fingers through your hair and it feels rough, maybe even straw-like. After a straightening, coloring, or relaxing session, many people notice their hair starts breaking, frizzing, or losing its natural bounce. It's frustrating—especially when you just wanted smooth, shiny locks.

Why Breakage and Dryness Happen After Chemical Treatments

Chemicals like ammonia, peroxide, or relaxers strip away your hair's protective lipid layer. Cuticles lift, moisture escapes, and the protein structure weakens. In fact, studies show up to 40% of hair's strength can be lost in a single session. Not only does this make hair drier, it also makes it more prone to split ends and tangling.

What Actually Works for Bringing Life Back to Chemically Treated Hair

• Deep Conditioning Weekly: Use a rich mask with natural oils (argan, coconut, avocado) and proteins. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes for real absorption.
• Gentle Cleansing: Switch to sulfate-free shampoos. They won't strip away what little moisture is left.
• Hydration Boost: Apply leave-in conditioners or serums after washing. Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid or panthenol.
• Protein Rebuilding: Try monthly protein treatments, but don't overdo it—too much protein can make hair stiff.
• Heat Protection: Use sprays or creams before styling. Lower your heat settings by 30–40 degrees.

Common Mistakes That Make Damage Worse

• Washing too often (more than 2–3 times per week)
• Skipping trims—split ends travel up the shaft
• Brushing wet hair with rough tools
• Using alcohol-heavy styling products
