Back to School Repair Treatments For Dry & Damaged Hair
Is your hair making you feel good? It should!
Back to School signals the end of summer. It’s also a good time to check in on your hair: It has traveled to the beach. It has swum in the sea. It has been in a bun, tousled, curled, and waved. Braids went from micro to macro. You read about yet another ‘80s revival and, fatally, out came the crimper. Your hair needs love. Getting back the luster, softness, and shine should be simple. Yet the myriad of products and ingredients, features and benefits marketers throw at us can make choosing the right hair treatments challenging. Let’s cut through the clutter with a quick guide to three products that will take your end of summer style from dry and dull to healthy and full.
Applicator nozzle delivers the product in a lovely whipped consistency.
Best For: When your hair feels dry, it doesn’t shine much, and you have applied hair color to protect.
How & Why It Works: Shea Butter and Olive Oil moisturize and soften while adding shine and preserving color tone.
Pro Tip: Leave-in for five minutes or more to get the full effects. Not a heavy treatment masque – use it 2-5 times weekly.
Bonus benefits: Green tea extract helps promote a healthy scalp. Special nozzle presses conditioner into a creamy, whipped consistency which helps the product easily saturate through the hair shaft.
Our deepest, richest masque is protein-packed to repair damaged hair.
Best For: When you brush your hair, hair falls out or, worse, it breaks off.
How & Why It Works: Made with quinoa, keratin, avocado oil, and coconut oil, Hair Repair Treatment packs the ultimate protein punch to strengthen the hair shaft from the inside. It reduces breakage from the first use.
Pro Tip: Apply to damp hair. Leave-in for 8-10 mins to get the full benefits. On damaged hair, do this once or twice weekly. Use monthly to keep healthy hair in tip-top shape.
Bonus Benefit: Apply and immediately rinse out Hair Repair Treatment for a quick deep condition you can do more regularly, leaving the hair soft, shiny, and lustrous.
Sunscreen and scintillating shine for dry or damaged hair
HEALING OIL
Best For: When you’re styling dry or damaged thick and unruly hair and you need UV and heat protection while continuing to moisturize and repair.
How & Why It Works: Precious oils, including sunflower seed oil, jojoba seed oil, babassu seed oil, combined with hydrolyzed keratin strengthen the hair shaft while penetrating the cuticle to make the hair soft and shiny.
Pro Tip: Use this health-giving styler in two ways: Scrunch and tousle for natural texture or blowdry for smooth, silky styles.
Bonus Benefit: Also features UV and heat protection for the hair, curtailing any further damage from styling or the elements.
