Chemically Treated Hair- 5 Unique Tips To Deal With The Damage
We all love to keep up with the latest hair color and style trends but do it too often, and you will end up with chemically damaged hair. Add to that constant heat styling, the environment, and a potentially aggressive hair care routine, and your hair will turn dry and frizzy.
So, dealing with chemically treated hair requires special care to repair and protect it from further damage. Here are five unique tips to help you address the damage caused to your hair by chemical treatments.
Protein treatments
Chemically treated hair often lacks protein, leading to weak and brittle strands. Use protein-rich hair treatments or masks to help restore the protein balance in your hair. Our Kera Bond Bond Repair Shampoo contains Keratin Protein, which repairs damaged bonds and enhances the strength of your locks while still providing gentle cleansing. These qualities make it the perfect shampoo for chemically treated hair.
Co-washing
You can even consider co-washing, which means using a conditioner instead of shampoo to cleanse your hair. Regular shampoos can be harsh on chemically treated hair, stripping away natural oils and moisture. Co-washing helps maintain moisture levels while gently cleansing your locks. Our Kera Bond Bond Strengthening Shampoo does just this while providing bond repair and depositing amino acids to build a protective layer over your hair.
Oil massages
Treat your chemically treated hair to regular oil massages using nourishing oils such as coconut, argan, or jojoba oil. These oils can help replenish lost moisture, improve hair elasticity, and protect against further damage. Hair oil also adds softness and shine, detangling your hair and fighting frizz. This is most beneficial for coarse and dry hair due to chemical damage.
You should focus primarily on the ends for chemically treated hair, as they are most subject to frizz and damage.
Avoid heat and UV exposure.
Minimize heat styling and protect your hair from UV rays. Chemical treatments can weaken the hair structure, making it more vulnerable to heat and environmental stressors. Whenever possible, opt for heatless hairstyles and wear hats or use hair products with UV protection when exposed to the sun. When you do need to heat style your chemically treated hair, be sure to coat your hair with a heat protectant such as our Bond Sustenance Oil Serum.
Use a silk or satin pillowcase
Use a silk or satin pillowcase instead of a regular cotton one. When your hair rubs against cotton, the resulting friction leads to breakage and damage. Silk or satin pillowcases create a smoother surface for your hair to glide, reducing the risk of tangles and hair breakage.
Remember, patience and consistency are crucial when dealing with chemically treated hair. Implementing these unique tips into your hair care routine will help repair and strengthen your hair, ultimately leading to healthier and more vibrant locks.
Final words
With extra care and the help of Kera Bond’s bond repair hair products, you can restore your chemically treated hair to its former glory.
