How to care for bleached and damaged hair
If your hair has not already been damaged due to overprocessing, you still have a chance to have damage-free bleached hair.
It should be noted that, once your hair is damaged, it can still be managed with some procedures. If it has been extremely damaged, the effect is usually irreversible. However, there are certain things you can do to prevent or manage this damage.
- Since your hair needs moisture more than ever, wash occasionally to retain your hair’s natural oil. Use sulfate-free shampoos and preferably, color safe and repairing shampoos.
- Condition regularly.Conditioners help to add moisture to your hair and are great treatments for color treated hair. Skipping conditioners can put your hair at a greater risk of damage.
- You should add hair treatments that have ingredients like protein in it to your regimen. Protein has the ability to strengthen and protect your hair. This reduces chances of damage.
- Bleached hair may give you split ends. To avoid damage, you should trim your ends to get rid of them.
- Damage to your bleached hair can happen or get worse when you use heat styling tools without protecting your hair. Before applying heat, use heat protectant sprays.
- Avoid using the wrong tools for your hair texture to prevent breakage and further damage. If you have straight hair, a fine-tooth comb is best for combing your hair. If you have curly hair, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle.
- You should consider taking a break in chemical treatments or processing your hair to give it a chance at repair and to avoid another damage.
