Repair and care for dry and damaged hair

Is your hair fragile, split and breaks easily? You need to take extra care of it during your beauty routine. Discover how to protect your hair to help it regain its vitality, softness and shine.

Recognizing damaged hair
 
Hair fibers in bad condition are characterized by an alteration in their protective barrier, also known as the hydrolipidic film, leaving your hair more exposed to external aggressors and dehydration.
Hair is thus more vulnerable and the lengths become dull, coarse and brittle.
What is the hydrolipidic film?
 
Found on the surface of the scalp and composed of a mixture of water and sebum, it covers the scalp and hair fiber to protect them from external aggressors. By lubricating and smoothing the fiber, it helps add suppleness and shine to the hair. When the hydrolipidic film is attacked, it no longer plays an effective role as a barrier to protect against external aggressors. Deprived of sebum, the cuticles that surround and protect the center of the hair (the cortex) lift and the hair becomes dry. Hair then loses its natural protection, becomes dehydrated, dry and brittle with split ends.

What are the causes?
 
Brittle, coarse and often with split ends, the lengths of your hair are left damaged and difficult to detangle.
Damaged hair fiber is often linked to:
 
• The nature of your hair
• The use of hair dye and excessive bleaching
• Extended exposure to the sun without any protection
• An unsuitable haircare routine
• Repeated use of heated hair tools
Damaged, the ends of your hair split more easily, the cuticles separate and your hair becomes duller.
Our experts’ advice

Damaged hair requires a lot of attention and care. To intensely repair it, apply a leave-in product to your hair overnight. Are your ends still dry and splitting? Don’t forget to regularly trim the damaged parts to limit breakage. 

The right steps to take to care of your damaged hair
 
To prevent hair from becoming brittle and to restore its vitality, damaged hair needs an adapted routine. It is therefore essential to add care products to each step of your routine:
1

GENTLY WASH

Sulfate-free shampoos are often recommended for sensitive hair after coloring or Brazilian hair straightening, as they gently wash the lengths and preserve the hair fiber.

2

INTENSELY REPAIR YOUR HAIR

As well as your shampoo, it is highly recommended to apply a rinse-off treatment during your routine. A conditioner to detangle and nourish your hair without weighing it down. Or a mask to rebuild the fiber, nourish and restore strength and shine to your lengths.

3

PROTECT FROM HEAT

An essential step to add to your routine if you regularly use heated hair tools: a heat protection product. It is applied to the lengths before drying or styling to protect them from the heat.

INTENSELY NOURISH
Use a leave-in product to deeply repair your lengths and make it easier to style. Remember to adapt the texture of your treatment to the nature of your hair:
- For normal hair types, use a fluid serum-type product
- For dry hair types, opt for a richer texture like leave-in balms or oils.
