Follow these tips for damaged hair, as shared by the dermatologist.
Trim every six weeks
Experts recommend trimming your hair regularly to get rid of split ends and damaged hair. Split ends generally have a lighter colour, making your hair look uneven and dull. They also make the hair brittle. Thus, you must get your hair trimmed every six weeks for healthy-looking tresses.
Thick conditioner after every wash
It is known that following your shampoo with a good thick conditioner will give your locks a healthy and luscious finish. It will prevent them from looking damaged by nourishing them from within. “Mild damage or dryness can be tackled with conditioners and hair serums,” Dr Panth said.
Hair mask once a week
If you are looking to amp up your hair care routine, a hair mask can be the perfect addition. From cleansing your hair to providing them with much-needed nourishments β hair masks are a must to take care of damaged hair.
Hair serum on damp hair
According to the dermatologist, hair serums can help tackle mild hair damage and dryness. Take a few drops of your serum and apply to the lengths of your hair when they are still damp.
