Why You Need Hair Treatment Products for Damaged Locks

Let’s be honest, damaged locks are neither cute nor easy to manage. Not only can they keep you from embracing your natural hair texture, but they also put you at risk of hair fall. Thankfully, there are hair treatment products to help you address different concerns and help you live your best hair days. If you’ve been skipping them thinking they’re the same as conditioner, you’re missing out. Here’s why you need to add them to your hair care arsenal ASAP.

Formulated specifically to repair hair, this post-wash essential deeply penetrates the cuticle to deposit nourishing active ingredients like keratin and collagen, and has protective properties to prevent further damage. Some advanced formulas even contain special compounds aimed at addressing specific needs, such as color protection for dyed hair, heat protection for frequently styled hair, or hydration for parched locks. Some hair treatments are tailored for specific hair types, like curly, straight, fine, or thick, while others are suitable for all textures.

Hair treatment products are commonly applied after conditioner, once a week, as needed, or after heavy styling sessions. That said, not all treatments are created equal. You'll want to use one that addresses your hair woes to get the most bang for your buck. So, what’s your damage?

Factors such as environmental exposure, heat styling, chemical treatments, improper care, and genetics can lead to damaged hair. Its symptoms include split ends, breakage, dryness, limpness, frizz, and dullness – and sometimes, all of the above. Here are some common types of hair damage and how you can address them.

Chemical Damage: While chemical treatments such as rebonding, bleaching, perming, and coloring make styling easier and more fun, they can also damage the hair by breaking down its protein structure and weakening the bonds that hold it together. This can lead to dryness, breakage, and loss of elasticity. 

Heat Damage: Excessive heat from styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers can damage the hair cuticle, causing it to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Heat styling can also alter the protein structure of the hair, leading to permanent damage.

Overprocessing: Overprocessing occurs when the hair is subjected to multiple chemical treatments like relaxing or excessive heat styling, leading to cumulative damage over time. This can result in severe dryness, breakage, and loss of hair elasticity. Depending on your natural texture, overprocessed hair can look and feel almost straw-like, and is limp
