Some people have damaged hair from the usual suspects, such as going out in the sun and heat styling, while others have very damaged hair from excessive bleaching, coloring and exposure to harsh elements such as chlorine on a regular basis. Every so often you should look into getting a deep conditioning treatment, either at your hair salon or at home. Do a hair masque at least twice a week in order to repair very damaged hair, and give your hair a break from heat styling every few days. Avoid brushing hair while it is wet, and let your hair air dry as opposed to using heat tools.

Diet is also important when it comes to repairing very damaged hair: make sure you consume sufficient nutrients on a daily basis and drink water to keep your skin and scalp hydrated. Take essential beauty supplements and vitamins such as biotin and beta carotene, which are essential for the growth of healthy hair, skin and nails. Get adequate rest so that your body can repair itself, and sleep with a scarf around your hair to protect it from damage during the night. Satin pillowcases are excellent for your hair, and on occasion you should do an overnight moisturizing treatment with a product such as coconut oil or olive oil, both of which are great for your hair.
