6 Ways To Minimise Hair Damage

Hair in need of a little TLC?

Healthy, hydrated locks are everyone’s #hairgoals. Heat styling, dyeing, pollution, too much salt water or chlorine, and even elastic ties can all cause damage to your hair. 

As with most things, prevention is better than cure, so protecting your tresses on a daily basis is key. Here are some easy changes you can implement right now. 

1. Swap your hair elastics for scrunchies

Tying your hair back with a fabric-covered scrunchie, we’re told, minimises breakage and creates fewer split ends. Another tip: go for a plait when sleeping and exercising.

2. Sleep on a silk pillowcase

Laying down to sleep on silk not only feels luxurious but helps to reduce the knotting caused by ‘bed head’. Unlike its cotton counterpart, silk doesn’t sap the moisture from your hair (or skin), retaining that precious hydration we crave.

3. Go easy on the heat

New technology from the likes of Dyson, ensures that styling doesn’t have to mean intense (and damaging) temperatures coming into contact with your locks. Dry and style your hair with the game-changing Supersonic or the Airwrap, or wrap your hair in rollers for heat-free volume.

4. Treat it right

Keep your hair in tip-top shape with regular nourishing treatments. Between salon visits you can keep up the good work at home with rich conditioners, oils and even ingestible marine collagen.

5. Throw in the towel

Tousling your hair dry in a regular towel can cause breakage and split ends, so sweep your hair up gently into a hair wrap or turban to take the majority of the moisture out and then allow it to air dry.

6. Gently detangle

While your hair is wet (with a treatment in, ideally), gently comb through your locks to smooth and detangle. A good brush is key.
