Rachit Malhotra says, “Heat, brushing and combing, towel drying, over washing, dryness, diet, eating disorder and split ends are contributing factors for damaged hair. The top in-salon treatments that work wonders on damaged hair include Olaplex and Nashi Filler Therapy.”
Talking about home care tips for clients Malhotra emphasized on using a moisturizing mask, Moroccanoil serum, drying the hair naturally and combing with wide comb.
According to Hardik Malde, “Olaplex is one treatment that works miraculously for dry and damaged hair. It directly works on the heart of the hair with proper salon sittings and home care. It gives a mirror-like shine and makes the hair healthy by working on the inner most layers and cortex level.”
Tips for professionals on dealing with clients with damaged hair
<ul
- Understand your client’s concern and hair history
- Explain to your clients that their hair has not become weak
in a just a week! Hence, the repairing and healing treatments too will take time and will not give miraculous results overnight
- Clients should get in-salon treatments on regular intervals – that is once in two weeks
- Salon products are little more concentrated as compared to home-care products, which is why these treatments are more effective
The above mentioned in-salon treatments are highly recommended for preventing hair damage and reducing breakage. They help in reviving tresses. They are most effective when stylist-recommended home haircare products are used in tandem. However, just as hair damage happens over time, these repair treatments too must be consistently done over a time period to get the best results.
