Restore damaged hair via deep conditioning, protein care, heat protection, and safe styling. Includes quick fixes for emergencies. Here are the detailed specifications:
Targeted Solutions
- Fix Damaged Hair
- Deep Conditioning:
Apply a hydrolyzed keratin and argan oil mask twice a week, then cover your hair with a shower cap and wrap it in a hot towel for 30 minutes.
- Protein Replenishment:
Strengthen strands with hydrolyzed wheat protein shampoo and reinforce internal support via regular protein leave-in treatment.
- Proper Tool Usage
- Temperature Settings:
Use a professional flat iron set between 320°F-356°F (≤320°F for damaged hair). Test on a small section first.
- Layered Styling:
Divide hair into sections and straighten each layer gradually, moving the iron slowly 1–2 times per strand to avoid over-processing.
- Protection Measures:
Apply heat protectant spray or thermal protectant oil prior to styling to minimize thermal damage.
Precautions
- Limit Straightening Frequency:
Use heat tools no more than twice a week.
- Avoid Chemical Treatments:
Temporarily halt dyeing and perm treatments during recovery.
- Emergency Alternatives:
If immediate repair isn’t possible, secure the ends with hair clips or use a light-hold hairspray mist to enhance natural waves.
Emergency Fixes
- Wet Hair Straightening:
Blow-dry damp hair using a straightening brush on low heat, or secure damp hair in rollers with heat setting spray and air-dry.
- Towel Roll Method:
Twist damp hair ends in a clean towel, secure the twist, and let sit for 30 minutes to leverage gravity for straightening.
