Luxury Haircare for Healthy Hair: The Ultimate Routines to Address

Signs of Hair Damage

Healthy hair can boost our confidence and enhance our beauty, making it essential to care for it properly. However, numerous factors may cause harm, resulting in brittleness, split ends, dullness, and frizz. In this article, we will pinpoint the causes of damaged hair and delve into the best haircare routines for various types of damage, using Kérastase's specialised product ranges to help you regain your confidence!

Causes Of Damaged Hair

Before addressing the signs of hair damage, let’s understand the causes behind it –

1. Heat Styling: Heat styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can zap the moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and prone to damage.
2. Overprocessing: Chemical treatments, especially excessive bleaching, can strip your hair of its natural oils and weaken its structure.
3. Hard Water: Water with high calcium content can lead to mineral buildup on your hair, causing it to become weak and feel rough and brittle.
4. Stress: High-stress levels can affect the health of your hair, leading to hair loss and overall damage.
5. Sun Exposure: Just as the sun can damage your skin, it can also damage your hair. UV rays can weaken the hair shaft, making it more susceptible to breakage and colour fading.
6. Pollution: Environmental pollutants can accumulate on your hair, causing it to become dull and lifeless.
7. Poor Nutrition: Poor dietary choices can deprive your hair of essential nutrients, leaving it weak and lifeless.

Signs of Hair Damage

Recognising hair damage symptoms is essential to address the issue effectively. Common indications of hair damage include –

1. Breakage & Split Ends: Hair prone to splitting and breaking, even with minimal effort, is a clear sign of damage.
2. Brittle Hair: If your hair feels dry, and rough, and lacks its natural flexibility, it's likely damaged.
3. Dullness: Damaged hair often loses its shine and lacks lustre.
4. Frizz: Frizz can result from damaged cuticles that can't keep moisture locked in.

Kerastase's Specialised Product Range To Address Hair Damage Symptoms:

As we now know, calcium buildup is a cause of damaged hair. The Première dual-action range decalcifies & repairs the hair, removing unwanted calcium deposits to leave your hair looking and feeling its best once again. Here’s what the range includes –

• Première Decalcifying & Repairing Pre-Shampoo Concentrate: A unique pre-shampoo treatment made with a potent mix of acids to reduce stiffness, boost shine, and recreate 99% of hair’s original strength*

How To Use –

The key is to layer, apply the pre-shampoo concentrate to damp hair then - without rinsing - massage in the damage repair shampoo. This double dose of citric acid and glycine works hard to remove unwanted calcium deposits. Rinse before applying the repairing hair mask, leaving for a few minutes, and rinse again. Finish off with an anti-frizz hair serum.
