Steps

Part 1 of 3: Following the New Regime

  1. 1 Treat your hair with care. Damaged hair is very brittle and must be treated with great care. If you handle your hair carelessly, you are unlikely to look well-groomed. Starting today, start taking care of your hair, whether it is dry or damp. Here's what you can do:
    • When using shampoo and other products, use your fingers to apply them very gently. Spread the product evenly over the entire length of the hair from roots to ends. Don't rub your hair.
    • Wash your hair with warm water, not hot water.
    • Do not dry your hair with a towel. Blot hair gently with a soft towel.
  2. 2 Don't wash your hair often. When you wash your hair, the natural oils that protect the hair are washed off, leaving it dry and brittle. If you wash your hair often, it will become dry and brittle. If possible, wash your hair only once or twice a week so that it has enough time to recover. After just a week, you will notice a positive change in the texture of your hair.
    • When you wash your hair, use as much product as you need. You shouldn't apply a lot of shampoo to your hair. Your hair should not be covered in thick foam.
    • If hair roots become oily, use dry shampoo. After a while, you will notice that this problem has become less serious.
  3. 3 Do not use a hair dryer. You've probably heard that using a hair dryer can cause dry and brittle hair. Don't use a hair dryer, let your hair dry naturally. This will keep your hair healthy. Leave them alone and you will see positive results very soon.
    • Do not use curling irons or irons. Using hair dryers, irons, curls, corrugations, curling tongs spoil your hair.
    • If you need to use a hair dryer, turn it on at the lowest temperature.
  4. 4 Use a comb, not a brush. Plastic bristled brushes are detrimental to the condition of your hair. The wide-toothed comb is ideal for detangling hair. Start combing at the ends of your hair and gradually work towards the roots.
  5. 5 Avoid using products that can damage your hair. Coloring, perming and straightening are anathema to healthy hair. Unfortunately, there is no way to color or change the texture of your hair without harming it. So give it up.
    • If you really want to change your hair color, try using tea or henna.
    • If you want to straighten or curl your hair, use methods that will not heat the hair.

Part 2 of 3: Hair Restoration

  1. 1 Use conditioner once a week. Conditioner can restore the strength of your hair. Your hair will become silky, healthy and beautiful. You can purchase an air conditioner from a store following the manufacturer's instructions, or make your own. To do this, you need:
    • Get your hair wet.
    • Apply one to two tablespoons of coconut or olive oil to your hair. Use a comb to spread the oil evenly over the entire length of your hair.
    • Put on a shower cap or cover your hair with plastic wrap.
    • Leave it on for an hour or, if possible, overnight.
    • Shampoo your hair as you normally would. To remove the oil from your hair, you will need to rinse it a couple of times.
  2. 2 Make your own hair mask to match your hair type. You can make a hair mask using natural ingredients that are available in your kitchen. This mask will improve the condition of your hair.Apply the mask to your hair while you are in the shower after you wet your hair. Leave it on for five minutes before rinsing it off. You can use the following options:
    • For curly hair: use one beaten egg
    • For dry hair: use 2 tablespoons whole milk or yogurt
    • For weakened hair: use 2 tablespoons of honey
    • For dull hair: use a mixture of 1 tablespoon vinegar and one tablespoon water
  3. 3 Apply shine oil to damp or dry hair. This oil is like a leave-in conditioner. Apply some oil to your palms. Use your fingers to spread the oil over the entire length of the hair, paying special attention to the hair roots. You can choose from the following options:
    • Coconut oil (for very dry hair)
    • Argan oil
    • Jojoba oil
    • Almond oil
    • Olive oil
  4. 4 Use a natural boar bristle brush. Sebum is the most effective remedy for frizzy hair. Using a boar bristle brush, each hair is treated with a natural oil treatment. The effect is visible immediately. Hair will become more manageable. If your hair is damaged, you should use this type of comb. Boar bristles, in their structure, resemble human hair. You can use this comb as follows:
    • A few hours (or overnight) before you plan to wash your hair, comb your hair from roots to ends. Do it gently.
    • Brush through your hair several times to distribute the oil evenly.
    • Wash your hair as you normally would.
  5. 5 Use only natural products. Regular shampoos, conditioners, and styling products damage your hair. If you want to restore health to your hair, then use only natural products that will help you restore health. Read the ingredients and avoid those containing the following ingredients:
    • Sulfates: usually found in shampoos; sulfates deprive hair of natural oils
    • Silicones: Commonly found in air conditioners; hair looks dull
    • Alcohol: Commonly found in varnishes, gels, and other products: Alcohol makes hair dry

Part 3 of 3: Grow Healthy Hair

  1. 1 Massage your scalp. Massaging your scalp improves blood circulation, which promotes the growth of healthy new hair. Massage your head every time you shower. Massage the scalp with your fingertips in a circular motion.
    • During the massage, you can use almond oil, jojoba oil, olive oil or coconut oil.
    • Tea tree oil promotes hair growth; dissolve five drops of tea tree oil in one tablespoon of olive oil, then massage your scalp.
  2. 2 Eat right. Your hair is a reflection of your health. If you often eat junk food and drink a lot of sugary drinks, your hair will not look healthy. Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water and take vitamins to improve not only the health of your hair, but your overall health. Include the following elements in your diet:
    • Omega-3 fatty acids: salmon, sardines, flax seeds, avocado
    • Protein: meat, fish, eggs, beans, and tofu
  3. 3 Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration often causes your hair to become dry and brittle. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day. When you're thirsty, drink clean water instead of coffee or soda, which can lead to dehydration.
    • Alcohol also dehydrates the body. If you are drinking an alcoholic beverage, be sure to drink a glass of water.
    • Carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day. This will keep you hydrated.
  4. 4 Protect your hair from adverse factors. Hair becomes dry and brittle when exposed to the sun, cold temperatures and air pollution.Wear a hat to protect yourself from environmental hazards that can make your hair sick. You should also wear a rubber cap when swimming in the pool to protect your hair from chlorine.
  5. 5 Trim the ends of your hair. Split ends inhibit hair growth. Trim the ends of your hair every three months. Even if you only cut a few centimeters, your hair will look healthy and beautiful.
    • Tell the hairdresser that you are only using natural products if you are visiting a beauty salon.
    • If you are trying to restore the health of your hair, do not do any procedure that could slow the process down.

Tips

  • Take lots of vitamins. One of the favorites is biotin, as it improves the condition of the skin and hair.
  • To avoid split ends, it is best to do so-called protective hairstyles, for example, lift your hair if it's too hot or it's windy outside.
