Damaged Hair – Man Mane-Tenence

Identify

Identifying damaged hair should be straight forward. The first indications will be its condition. When your usual silky-smooth locks turn out dry and unmanageable, it’s a sure sign that somethings gone sideways. Natural oils protect your hair but repeated washing and drying cause them to deplete.

Split ends are often found when it’s been a while since you bounced into the barbers. You can check for them by running your fingers through your hair. If the ends feel rough or stick out from the rest, the ends are damaged and need trimming.

If you find your hair is breaking more than usual or has lost its elasticity, the likelihood is that it’s suffering. The protective outer layer of your hair, the cuticles, act like a shell. Small keratin shields form a layer around the outside, keeping moisture out. When they’re damaged, your hair is more susceptible to damage.

Rectify

The best way to avoid issues is to take steps in damage prevention. Relentlessly using heat and styling products on your hair will leave it shabby and tired. Shampoos that favour harsh chemicals like sulphate are ones to avoid, find something with natural ingredients. When drying your hair, try to avoid aggressive rubbing. Patting or leaving it to dry naturally is the key.

Damaged Hair – Man Mane-Tenence

Damaged hair is pretty much irreparable, but all is not lost. If your hair is too dry, try applying some essential oils. With split ends, a quick trim at the barbers will leave clean cuts allowing for hair to grow back healthily. If you keep your hair in a layered style, it may be possible to trim out any damaged patches.

Protecting your hair from things like swimming is important, especially in chlorinated pools. Using products like coconut oil will form a protective barrier, sealing off the cuticles and keeping them waterproof. These preventative measures will keep the damage at bay and your hair looking sharp and smooth.
