Dry and damaged hair treatment

Why Your Hair Feels Dry and Looks Damaged

If your hair snaps when you brush it or feels rough no matter what conditioner you use, you're not alone. Around 30% of people notice hair dryness after a season change or chemical treatments. Heat styling, coloring, and even harsh shampoos can strip away your hair's protective oils, leaving strands vulnerable to breakage and split ends.

Heat and Chemicals: The Main Culprits

Blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons reach temperatures up to 230°C. That kind of heat can break down keratin, your hair's main protein. Meanwhile, bleach and dyes lift your hair's cuticle, making it harder to retain moisture. Even swimming in chlorinated pools can cause damage over time.

What Actually Works for Dry and Damaged Hair

Real improvement starts with a change in routine. Here’s what helps most:

• Switch to sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates strip natural oils and make dryness worse. Look for formulas with gentle cleansers.
• Use deep conditioning masks weekly. Masks with ingredients like argan oil, shea butter, or ceramides replenish moisture and seal split ends.
• Limit heat styling. If you must style, use a heat protectant spray and keep your tools on the lowest effective setting.
• Trim regularly. Cutting off split ends every 6–8 weeks prevents further breakage.

How to Apply Treatments for Best Results

Apply masks to damp hair, focusing on the ends. Leave them on for at least 20 minutes—overnight works even better for severe dryness. Rinse with cool water to help the cuticle lay flat and lock in moisture.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Washing hair daily—this strips away protective oils.
• Using hot water—stick to lukewarm or cool.
• Skipping regular trims—split ends travel up the shaft if ignored.
• Choosing products with heavy alcohols—they dry out strands further.

Comparing Leave-In vs. Rinse-Out Products

Leave-in conditioners offer ongoing protection throughout the day, especially for frizz-prone hair. Rinse-out masks deliver an intensive moisture boost, but their effects fade faster. Combining both can give you the best of each.
