While there may not be any official treatments for already-broken hair, making sure your hair is at its healthiest is the best move you can make. Every stylist interviewed for this piece was clear to reiterate that fact: Prevention is key. "It's important to remember and approach your hair regime from the perspective that your hair strands are actually dead. So, any product you apply topically to your strands is simply there to cover or coat dead hair strands. Nothing you apply can 'regenerate' your hair strands because they are not living," Maeva Heim, owner of Bread Beauty Supply shared. a valid NHS certificate for full help with health costs (HC2) – people named on an NHS certificate for partial help with health costs (HC3) may also get help For curly or Afro textures, Hill also recommends "pineappling" your hair before going to sleep, or piling all your hair on top of your head in a loose hair tie and securing with a scarf so that you resemble, you know, a pineapple. "Make sure the roots and ends of the hair are 100 percent dry and remember to use satin or silk pillowcases and scarves."

The Corrale's biggest change over traditional flat irons is its flexing plates. They curve around the hair, avoiding the splaying out effect that sometimes occurs and leads to uneven heat distribution. In other terms, when you run a traditional flat iron over a section of hair, a few strands of hair from the section can loosen from the plates' grip and are then exposed to the heat without any payoff. Of course, regular heat styling is notoriously bad for your hair. Constantly straightening curly hair or using heat on straight hair are asking breakage to live rent-free on your head. A good protective style, one that's low in tension and works with your natural texture can help prevent that. "The natural hair community is continuously evolving and coming up with more protective styles and products for textured hair — knotless box braids are one of my favorite protective styles," Mabatano-Harris says. "Simple styles that require very little to no heat or less combing are always best for avoiding breakage." A major issue with the original range of steam straighteners was the fact they would leave your face or ears a bit wet, and the steam could sometimes feel a little hot next to the skin. Revamp’s model doesn’t have either of these flaws because the steam is directed straight onto the plates and over the hair more evenly, and in a more targeted way.

Protect hair against heat

Good news: singeing off the ends of your hair in pursuit of the perfect, poker straight style is a thing of the past thanks to smart innovations in hair styling. Indeed, brands like GHD, Dyson and L’Oréal now offer effective ways to protect the hair from the threat of heat damage. But when it comes to finding the best hair straighteners for you, there is much to consider from performance, portability and hair health.

Mesen often recommends fine mists for folks with thin hair, as this type of product prevents the hair from being weighed down. "When it comes to wet hair, a whipped product like a mousse can often give more volume than a gel or volumizing spray due to the light formula and the foamy texture of the product," she adds. Overall, our favorite product for fine, flat hair is Kérastase Densifique Bodifying Mousse. It's a lightweight stylist-approved foam that adds volume, smooths flyaways, and strengthens hair. For those on a budget, we recommend NatureLab Tokyo Perfect Repair Leave-In Treatment, which comes out as a foam and smooths frizz without adding weight or wetness. Ionic technology: when there’s too much positive charge on each hair strand, they begin to repel each other, making hair static and flyaway. This technology helps to neutralise the charge, smoothing strands down instead. OK, so the Corrale can straighten my tough curls. But can it curl? It might seem counterintuitive to straighten curly hair and then … curl the straightened hair, but there are a few reasons.Ceramic-coated plates: they usually have a metal base topped with a ceramic layer, combining the best qualities of both materials. The outer layer can chip and wear away over time, but a good-quality model should last you at least three years if stored properly. Park GH, Park KY, Cho HI, et al.

But it can still lead to hair loss, thinning, and slow growth. Hair breakage can cause you to lose your hair as it breaks — if the damaged hair strands are not trimmed off, the damage can further spread, causing you to lose more hair. You can differentiate damaged hair from healthy hair as hair that is damaged tends to be shorter with frayed ends. "Damaged hair also frizzes and is [more difficult to control]," Michele Green, a cosmetic dermatologist in New York City confirms. A fully charged battery lasts only about 30 minutes. That's enough time for Jon Reyman, Dyson’s global styling ambassador, to straighten my hair, but it took me longer to do it myself. You can use it while it’s charging, which does take away from the ease of use, but at least I can do most of the work without fussing with a cable. This mousse is great because it adds body to fine, flat hair without drying it out," says Spino. "It can be used to air-dry or for a blowout." The strong scent may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like floral-musky fragrances, you might find it delightful. Murugusundram, S.

It takes the concept of the original Babyliss models and gives it a modern twist. Floating ceramic plates infused with keratin, argan and coconut oils, as well as ionic technology, help create a glossy, smooth finish. It uses so-called “intelligent heat control” to regulate the temperature across these plates and reduce hair damage. You can then choose from one of six temperatures (150ºC, 170ºC, 190ºC, 210ºC, 220ºC and 230ºC) and from one of three modes ( No Steam, Low Steam and High Steam). The straighteners will then automatically switch off after an hour. Depending on the severity of the damage, it may be time for a haircut. "Nothing, and I mean nothing, can repair the hair after the cortex has been damaged. There are various products and ingredients on the market that can help give the appearance of mending split ends, for example, but nothing can revive a damaged cortex," Kerry E. Yates, CEO of Colour Collective in Dallas, explained. Green confirms this, sharing that, "the cortex of the hair is the inner layer of the hair, [and] hair that is damaged within the cortex cannot be restored. Hair can only be restored from the follicles. Hair that is damaged beyond the follicle needs to be cut to prevent further damage."
