How To Repair Damaged Hair: Our Ultimate Guide

The Best Of Hair.com: Repair

Do damage control with these tips, tricks, and top Hair.com products. 

If you’re as hair obsessed as we are, it’s safe to say there’s nothing you wouldn’t do to achieve flawless locks. While a blowout here and a fresh head of highlights there can seem harmless, the truth is that overdoing certain hair habits can put your strands through the wringer. Over time, you might notice your hair becoming brittle, dry, or over-processed—in which case, you might be dealing with damaged hair. 

Many things can cause hair damage, so unfortunately there’s no one simple solution. Damaged locks may be the result of scorching your strands with heat, brushing your hair the wrong way, wearing tight hairstyles, or overdoing chemical services. The good news? With the right products and hair care tips, you can stop damage in its tracks (and you won’t need to chop off all of your locks in the process). 

Whether you’re dealing with bleach damage, heat damaged hair, or hair breakage from brushing, let us guide you with expert-approved tips, tricks, and our best Hair.com products to help repair (and prevent) damage. We can even help you find the best shampoo for damaged hair. Below, shop our best repairing products for every damage-related hair concern.
