How to Repair Bleached, Damaged Hair at Home

1- Wash sparingly- Washing hair daily can strip it of its natural oils which work to moisturize both the hair and scalp. Overwashing can lead to overproduction of oil or dryness, depending on hair type.

2- Avoid heat styling- Everyone knows heat isn’t great for hair. Try air drying as often as possible and wearing your hair with its natural texture. Serums and leave in conditioners can help with manageability.

3- Use plastic coil hair ties- Standard hair ties tend to tug at hair and create breakage. Plastic coil ties don’t crease or tear.

4- Do hot oil treatments- Hot oil treatments are useful for helping to stimulate blood flow which helps with hair growth. Other benefits include dandruff relief or irritated scalp depending on which natural oil you use. 

5- Apply hair serums/oils daily: Concentrated hair serums and oils provide a boost of moisture that bleached, damaged hair craves. Oils penetrate the hair shaft and work to repair it from within. Applying them daily will ensure hair is soft and manageable throughout the day.

6- Take Biotin supplements: Biotin deficiency has been linked to brittle nails and hair loss. Biotin supplements may reverse these processes and aid in the improvement of keratin infrastructures, a basic protein hair, skin, and nails are made of.
