What to do if my hair is damaged?

If you have not managed to protect your hair from low temperatures, it is best to directly perform a hair treatment that hydrates it in depth. One of the most demanded is the keratin treatment, a treatment that will not only help you hydrate all your hair, it will also make it much more manageable. Also, getting a haircut to clean it up, preventing it from breaking is another good idea.

How do I know if my hair is damaged? Damaged hair can be seen from a distance. Irregularities are noticed throughout the hair and, also, hair is normally very frizzy. In addition, these hairs are not soft to the touch and look lifeless as they lack shine and vitality. On many occasions, the lack of hydration also makes the mane unmanageable, so manageability can be another great indicator. However, if you know your hair well … you surely know when the cold and other external agents have damaged it!

Remember that summer is not the only time when you have to take care of your hair. The heat, the beach and the pool during the summer, the cold and the wind in winter, the loss of hair in the autumn … each season is associated with different hair problems! So do not neglect your hair at any time.
