3 Ways to Protect and Repair Damaged Hair

At Salon Envy, we frequently get distressed phone calls from new customers asking about how to fix their damaged hair. Sometimes box dyes did the damage or too much heat styling or too many bleaches. Regardless of the cause, though, it’s a common complaint. That’s why we put together this list of 3 ways to protect or repair damaged hair.

Get Frequent Trims

One of the most important things to do when you have damaged hair is to trim your split ends. We know how hard it is to lose even a small amount of your hair’s length, but we can promise you that it helps. When you get regular haircuts, your hair gets healthier faster and isn’t weighed down by dead ends. Plus, it’s easy to stay on a schedule at Salon Envy. After your first haircut with us, you get a $5 discount for every haircut that you pre-book and keep! It’s a great way to stay committed to keeping your hair healthy.

Use Deep Conditioning Treatments

Deep conditioning treatments are a great way to nourish and protect damaged hair. They help lock in moisture and keep your hair looking shiny and smooth. We offer a number of deep conditioning treatments at Salon Envy, including Continuum and Olaplex. Though the in-house versions of these treatments, which are applied by our talented stylists, are more effective you can also purchase at-home versions of them right here at Salon Envy in Lincoln Park. These are great for keeping your hair healthy in between services.

Minimize Heat Styling and Dying

Heat styling and over-dying already damaged hair can often make it more brittle and course. We recommend you give your hair a break from all that punishment and let it grow. You can also use a number of effective heat protectant products, such as the Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray from Oribe or the Leave-In.Protection from Kevin.Murphy. Our stylists swear by these amazing products! If you use products like these when you heat style your hair and you continue to get trims and deep condition it, it will get back to normal way faster. In the meantime, it may be beneficial to learn some new ways to style your hair. You can always ask your stylist at Salon Envy for tips and tricks to style damaged hair!

Ultimately, the best way to help damaged hair is time. But these tips should keep you happier with your hair along the way! Book your deep conditioning treatment or trim at Salon Envy today to start your journey toward healthier, happier hair.
