I have made the mistaken of flat ironing my hair to death because of my layered style. I use to have beautiful shiny hair, now it is dead and had a million dead ends. I know i can just stop straightening it, but what else can i do to get my silky hair back?How do you get damaged hair shiny?
Okay. I know EXACTLY how you feel.
A couple of years ago I made the biggest mistake of my hair life! haha:) I bleached my dark brown, shiny healthy WAIST LENGTH hair PLATINUM BLONDE!!! ugh:P
My hair was RUINED and I mean RUINED, plus it was waist length and I really didn't want to have to chop it off.
I started changing the way I thought about my hair. I wanted to treat my hair better and boy did it pay off! It is in the best state its ever been in, in my entire life!
Heres what I did...
I started using mane n tail shampoo and conditioner. Not the herbal kind or the deep moisturizing kind of mane and tail but just the ORIGINAL mane n tail. :) My hair had thinned out and broken into a million split ends. I even had split ends on the SURFACE of my hair and it was blocking the shine.
I also started doing a hot oil treatment once a week. I suggest v05 hot oil treatment. You can get a pack of two for about four bucks at Walgreens or Target and that will get your hair in AMAZING condition.
The first time I used the hot oil I saw a dramatic change. I also saw a dramatic change after about two weeks of using Mane N tail. My hair was thicker. My split ends were literally SEALED. and my hair grew an inch in ONE MONTH. It was bizzare. I was skeptical before using it though, I'm like ';Horse shampoo?! really?!'; but it WORKED.
It's been three months since my bleaching disaster. I got a small one inch trim and the hair grew back thanks to mane n tail..Here is a couple more tips I have for really damaged hair that needs to be revitalized.
1. Leave your conditioner in for five minutes at the minimum. Your hair needs to drink in the moisture.
2. Only shampoo your roots! Shampoo takes the oil out of your hair thats how it cleans your crown of your hair. If you apply shampoo on down through your ends it will strip your ends of their natural oils causing your hair to be dry and frazzled. The shampoo will rinse down through your ends and give you adequate cleansing.
3. Wash your hair with cold water, as cold as you can stand. I've really seen a huge difference since doing it, it seals the cuticle.
4. buy mane n tail. its only like 8 bucks for a HUGE bottle!!! worth it!
ENJOY YOUR LUCIOUS GORGEOUS HAIR!!!How do you get damaged hair shiny?
Alex,I suggest that you have your dead ends trimmed off at least every 8 weeks,also use a shampoo that contains keratin in it,it will help to moisturize your hair.Only wash your hair a couple of times of week and when you do alternate it with another brand of shampoo that you like.Mane and Tail is a good shampoo as this contains a lot of protein,which our hair is made up of,you can also buy some Biotin vitamins,these help with the hair,you can also do a home treatment of olive oil,apply it to your hair and leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse it out,a lot of people use this,even myself.Hope this helps you out.Tomb Raider.
Apply serum.
Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
I've heard putting egg works too o_o. lol
