Hair Styling Tip - Breakage, Shedding, Damage and Chemicals

Experiencing damage and want to know the cause? Well, if you’re using chemicals to straighten your hair, realize that changing your genetically coded tendency for wavy or curly hair into stick-straight locks is going to do some damage. Even using a blow-dryer or a flat comb to straighten your hair non-chemically is going to inflict some damage.

But fear not! You can reverse some of the damage done by following these steps.

1. Deep condition your hair right away and continue to do so every two weeks.
2. If you notice severe breakage or split ends, go to a salon for a trim.
3. Use a good leave-in conditioner often.
4. Avoid heating appliances like blow-dryers, flat-irons and the like.
5. Avoid coloring your hair until the damage is repaired.
6. Don’t add tension to your hair in the form of braiding or wearing a ponytail since these styles can promote root damage.
7. Comb your hair gently.
8. Relaxers can be tricky to apply. Misapplication can result in severe damage. If you have any hesitation in applying them by yourself at home, please go right to a professional stylist instead.
9. Protecting your hair from the stress of styling products (combing, brushing) and the effects of the environment will go a long way towards preventing further damage. Make sure to coat your hair after styling with a light application of a pure silicone product. Simply Stylin' Light Silk Spray is ideal for this purpose.
