When your hair is damaged, scissors are not always the solution! Here’s how to strengthen your hair

Hair is made up of 90 percent protein, which is why hairdressers and dermatologists are obsessed with protein treatments.

Going to the hairdresser is a solution for damaged hair, but not the only one. If you keep cutting it when you notice that the ends of your hair are breaking and tangling due to dryness, it’s time to change your habits and hair care products.

– Washing, combing, drying damage the surface layer of the hair. This problem is further aggravated by styling the hair with dyeing, bleaching and other chemical processes. You should take care of your hair just like you take care of the skin on your face – says specialist trichologist Kevin Mansucco.

For washing extremely dry and color-treated hair, she recommends products with keratin and glutamic acid, as both ingredients are lost with hair coloring and bleaching.

Balms, serums and masks with a high protein content should be used to strengthen the hair roots, but also to enrich the diet with proteins.

– Hair consists of 90 percent protein, which is why hairdressers and dermatologists are obsessed with protein treatments. Proteins strengthen the hair, protect it from moisture loss, make it more lush and shiny – points out Mansuko.

Advice plus
Coconut and argan oil won’t make your hair greasy if you only apply them to the ends. These oils will hydrate the hair and help replace lost lipids. Apply a few drops to the palm of your hand and run your hands through the ends of your hair, advises Mansuco.

Home treatment – olive oil and egg yolks
If your hair is not too damaged, you can try to heal it with a homemade mask. The best combination of olive oil and egg yolk is because it will hydrate the hair, making it immediately noticeably softer to the touch.
