The Best Conditioning Treatment For Your Hair

Just as there are many ways you can damage your hair, there are lots of ways to fix it. Today we’ll take a look at what you can do to best help your hair and its own particular needs. Despite what you may see in those glossy, full-page ads, this is definitely not a one-size-fits-all scenario.

Sometimes hair becomes dried out from heat-styling techniques or chemical processing treatments. In this case, hair feels rough because it is – the cuticle in no longer lying flat along the surface of each hair. To get it back in shape, you’ll need a treatment that conditions deeply, and bonds its moisture right to the cortex of your hair to make it soft once again. If your hair is dry because it’s been color-treated, it will have an additional set of concerns. You not only want to moisturize it, but you also want to keep all of that great color and tone. It will be important to use a moisturizing product specifically designed for color-treated hair. These products will close the cuticle to hold in the color and make it smooth, but they will also contain sunscreen to help keep your new color from fading.

If your hair is severely damaged – it’s breaking and splitting easily – you’ll need some serious repair treatment for it. Beyond a weekly conditioning at home, you’ll want to talk to your stylist for his or her suggestions on how to get it healthy again. This may mean indulging in a hair mask, but it may also mean opting for a keratin treatment that will literally rebuild the bonds that hold your hair together.

Even if your hair is fundamentally healthy, the texture of your hair will dictate which type of weekly conditioner to use. Very fine hair will benefit from a body-building product that will thicken individual hairs. Coarse or frizzy hair will want a product that softens it and makes it less reactive to humidity. And if you have oily hair, use a conditioning product only on the ends to keep it from weighing down your hair.
