How to treat damaged hair

We all suffer from damaged hair every now and then. Coloured, straightened, chemically treated, teased... it goes through a lot, so it’s no wonder it can sometimes be left crying out for some love. Bring damaged hair back to its healthy-looking self with our guide to ultimate hair repair.

1
Fortify coloured hair.
Colouring can weaken hair. Now obviously we couldn’t swear off experimenting so make up for it with a shampoo designed for coloured hair to provide it with nourishment and help your colour stay vibrant for longer
2
Turn to treatments.
Brittle hair needs to be fortified to make it strong and healthy-looking again. Try Dove Intense Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner, which with regular use, progressively nourishes deep inside the hair strands
3
Turn to oils.
Hair oils are perfect for taming frizz and keeping our locks looking sleek and glossy – even on humid days. We’ve harnessed the power of oils in Dove Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner to leave hair silky
4
Sun screen.
Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs protecting from the sun. A hairspray with a protective UV filter will help shield it from damage, as well as keeping the sun from tampering with coloured hair
5
Nourish hair back to life.
For extremely damaged hair, use deep conditioning treatments at least twice a week until your hair is on the mend to help keep it strong and resistant to breakage
6
Beat the heat.
As for thermal styling – always spritz a heat protection spray over hair first to help protect it from the stress of your tongs, hairdryer, rollers or straighteners
