Damaged hair

Causes of stressed and damaged hair

Damaged hair is not only dry, but also has profound damage to its structure. This leads to weak resilience and makes the hair prone to breakage. The most common causes of such damage include:

• Chemical treatments
  Repeated coloring or chemical treatments such as perms or bleaching attack the hair structure and weaken it in the long term.
• heat styling
  Regular use of a hair dryer, curling iron or straightener without heat protection damages the hair through high temperatures, causing the hair fiber to become rough and brittle.
• environmental influences
  Intense sun exposure and contact with salt and chlorine water also lead to a porous hair surface. This causes the protective hair scales of the hair fiber to stick out, making the hair brittle, statically charged and prone to split ends.

Natural care for damaged hair

The key to caring for damaged hair is to use mild, gentle products that nourish the hair without putting additional strain on it. Here are some important tips for choosing and using them:

• Gentle cleansing with organic shampoos
  Choose a shampoo that is based on natural ingredients and free of aggressive foaming agents. All myrto organic shampoos use high-quality, plant-based surfactants that are particularly mild and support the elasticity, fullness and resilience of the hair. A particularly effective product for damaged hair is the myrto Schizandra Berry Organic Shampoo , which uses a purely plant-based repair agent to sustainably regenerate the damaged hair fiber.
• Moisture and shine with conditioner
  After washing your hair, a conditioner helps to smooth the roughened hair structure and counteract static charge. The myrto Hemp Repair Bio Conditioner has been specially developed for damaged hair. It creates a fine protective film around the hair fiber and ensures natural shine without using questionable ingredients such as silicones, paraffins or alcohol.
• deep care with hair mask
  You should use a deep-acting treatment such as the myrto organic pomegranate hair treatment once or twice a week. This nourishing treatment strengthens the hair fiber and ensures lasting moisture. For fine hair, weekly use is recommended so as not to over-condition the hair and weigh it down unnecessarily.

preventing further hair damage

The way you treat your hair can also help damaged hair to heal. Follow these care tips to protect your hair as best as possible:

• Gentle drying
  Let your hair air dry as often as possible to avoid heat exposure. If you use a hairdryer, it should be equipped with ion technology and set to a medium temperature. Intense heat from straightening irons or curling irons puts strain on the hair structure and should only be used rarely if possible.
• Effective heat protection
  If styling with heat cannot be avoided, heat protection is essential. The aloe vera-based myrto Bio Finisher Glossing Gel is ideal for protecting hair from damaging heat. The gel moisturizes and protects hair from drying out by coating each hair fiber with a nourishing protective film.

prevention of split ends and hair breakage

Since damaged hair is particularly prone to split ends and breakage, preventative care is important. Cold-pressed, natural plant oils are effective here and provide moisture.

• Protection and shine with Bio Antistatic Hair Oil
  The myrto Bio Antistatic Hair Oil provides intensive care against split ends and frizz and at the same time protects the hair from UV radiation. With its natural sun protection factor and cold-pressed ingredients, it is a versatile product that gives the hair moisture, elasticity and suppleness.

The ideal routine for damaged hair

• Use natural shampoos with mild surfactants like the Schizandra Berry Organic Shampoo .
• Use a nourishing conditioner like the Hemp Repair Bio Conditioner to smooth the hair structure.
• Use a hair treatment regularly to deeply regenerate damaged hair.
• Dry your hair as gently as possible and use a protective finisher gel when using heat styling products.
• For additional protection against split ends, use Antistatic Hair Oil .

With this routine, you will strengthen damaged hair in the long term and protect it from further damage, so that it looks healthy and shiny again.
