How to care for damaged hair
Hair pro Chris Wenzel often shares his most tried and tested tricks on social media (Image: Instagram)@blowoutprofessor) and her recent advice is perfect if you have heat damage, split ends, or just need to inject some more life into your locks.
Avoid daily touch-ups
It may be tempting to quickly restyle your hair every day, but this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
He said: “The damage adds up very quickly when you do that.”
Your hair needs a break between using heat, so straightening it one day and touching it up the next will cause a lot of problems, including dry, brittle hair, split ends, and frizz.
“Even if you just do the front part or that little thing that looks strange, it will cause damage,” he explained.
Instead, Chris advises waiting three days before using any heat tools on your hair, and when using heat, always use a protective spray or cream.
Avoid bare hair
A lot of people think that leaving your hair completely alone is the best way to keep it healthy, but that’s not necessarily true.
The hair expert said: “Naked hair is when you get out of the shower and don’t put any product in your hair.
“Your hair is like a baby’s, you can’t take care of it yourself, you have to take care of it.”
Some hair is naturally drier, so it needs more moisture, and this comes in the form of hair products. Consider adding conditioner to your hair with each wash.
Do not air dry and then style
When you air dry your hair, it will want to stay in the same position and shape, so if you try to style it afterwards it will take a lot more work, and that means a lot more heat damage.
Chris said: “Even if you win the fight and get it super straight, it won’t stay that way for long because it’s always going to be a struggle to get back to the air-dry shape it was before.”
If you want sleek locks, blow-dry your hair and then straighten it with a straightener.
It may seem like using a hot hairdryer and then a straightener will cause more damage, but overall there will be less heat and your style will last longer, so you can avoid touch-ups.
The 4 phases of the hair growth cycle
Hair experts at Philip Kingsley have shared the four stages of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen.
Anagen Phase: Also known as the ‘Growth Phase’ or ‘Active Phase’, this is when the hair root cells divide more quickly, forming more new hair.
During the anagen phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.
This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.
Catagen Phase: After the Anagen Phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase known as the Catagen Phase, which signals the end of active hair growth and cuts off individual strands from the blood supply and cells that produce new hair.
Approximately three percent of all hair is in this stage at any given time and it lasts for about 10 days.
Telogen Phase: The third stage of the natural hair growth cycle is the Telogen Phase, a resting period in which strands remain in the follicles but are not actively growing.
An estimated 10 to 15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.
The Telogen Phase lasts about three months or 100 days.
Exogenous Phase: The final phase of the Hair Growth Cycle, when individual hairs are released from their follicles and fall out.
Now the whole process starts again.
