How To Recover Your Hair From Hair Loss & Breakage

Cutting your hair:
Take the opportunity to get a really good haircut beyond just a basic trim and even it all out. In most cases you will need to remove has much dead and damaged hair as possible. (It’s ok! Your hair will grow back and the more dead and damaged hair removed, the faster healthy hair can grow back.)

Don’t be a sucker and buy into all the hair care products that promise to mend split ends or damaged hair. They don’t work, the hair will still be damaged.

Give your hair a vacation:
Avoid using brushes on your hair for awhile. Just use your fingers to comb it down and smooth it out with your hands.

Also, avoid all heating tools for awhile too. Let your hair air dry and don’t even think of touching an iron of any sorts to your hair for a few weeks. If you want to style your hair or add big beautiful curls try curling your hair with no heat methods such as the video demonstration below in which the woman is doing bantu knots which is a way to curl your hair with no heat.

Moisturize your hair:
Moisturize your hair with a good product. When you moisturize your hair you will prevent breakage. One recommendation is BB Oil Moisturizer. It is a really good product because it has castor oil, coconut oil, aloe and canola oils in it to help maximize moisture.

Also deep condition your hair once a week. A great way to do this is to use a hair mask such as Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask. After you use the mask, Neutrogena also makes an excellent Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner that you can leave in.

Wear loose hairstyles:
When you wear too many tight hair styles you will break off hair and cause bald spots. Be sure to wear loose hairstyles that don’t pull on the hair.
