Not all damaged hair has the same needs. Some lengths are simply dry. Others are really starting to break. The ends become thinner, the small broken hairs become more numerous and detangling requires more precautions.
L’Elixir signed Oribe is aimed precisely at weakened fibers. This new 100 ml product joins the range
Hair Alchemy, developed around hair resistance.
When lengths break, the routine must go beyond simple shine
A finishing oil can make hair immediately brighter. However, it does not meet the same need as treatment intended for weakened fiber. Technologies bond buildings occupy an increasing place in restorative routines.
They are of particular interest to hair regularly exposed to
colorings, discolorations or heating appliances. After summer, sun, salt and chlorine can also be added to this list.
L’Elixir therefore joins a routine more geared towards resistance. The objective is to maintain supple hair while limiting this impression of fragile lengths.
A few changes in the routine can already preserve the lengths
Care does not work alone. Slightly reducing the temperature of the hair dryer already helps to limit additional attacks. The plates can also be spaced apart for a few days.
Detangling also deserves more gentleness. We start with the ends before gradually moving up towards the roots. A thermal protection then completes the routine as soon as a heating device is used.
How do I know if my hair is dry or really brittle?
Dry hair especially lacks flexibility and softness and may feel rough to the touch. A brittle hair breaks easily and often leaves small pieces of varying lengths in the brush. We can look at the ends and strands around the face to spot these small breaks. If the fiber breaks upon detangling, it is best to temporarily reduce heat and wear very tight hairstyles. A purely nourishing routine is not always enough when the hair’s resistance is really weakened.
Can we use a restorative treatment on fine hair?
Yes, because a fine fiber can also be weakened by staining, heat or friction. You simply have to adapt the quantity so as not to make the lengths heavier. The treatment can be concentrated on the most sensitized parts and especially on the ends. The roots generally do not need to be given a rich texture. If the hair becomes too flat, a smaller amount during the next application often allows you to regain more lightness.
What actions should be taken at the same time to limit damage?
There Thermal protection becomes essential when hair dryers, straighteners or curlers are part of the routine. Detangling can start from the ends to avoid unnecessary pulling on the knots. A soft pillowcase also limits friction during the night. Very tight hairstyles should be spaced out when the fiber already seems weakened. Finally, cutting the truly split ends allows you to start with cleaner lengths.
