How to repair damaged hair

Be patient. It takes the average person months to grow enough new hair to replace damaged hair.

You'll Need:

* Olive oil
* Egg yolks
* Whisk
* Vitamin E
* Silicone oil or gloss

Step 1: Apply a homemade egg and oli
ve oil conditioner once a week for a month to help repair hair. To make one application, whisk one egg yolk with two tbsp. of olive oil in a bowl. Apply to hair, especially on the ends. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse before shampooing.

Step 2:Step 3: Get regular hair trims once a month. These trims get rid of damaged hair and encourage faster hair growth.

Step 4: Try a diffuser at a low-heat or cool setting when you use your hair dryer. With irons, try to use the lowest heat setting.

Step 5: Shampoo and condition your hair less frequently. Ideally, two or three times a week helps curb over-drying and repairs damaged hair.

Step 6: Rinse and shampoo hair as soon as possible after swimming in chlorine or salt water. Both of these make hair more brittle.

* To make hair appear shiny, apply a silicone oil or gloss.
* Always try to use a comb instead of a brush on damaged hair. Brushes tend to break hair.
* Avoid heating tools such as hair dryers, curling irons, hot rollers and straightening irons as much as possible.
* Never get a permanent, coloring or relaxing when your hair is severely damaged. These chemicals are damaging to hair.
