“They become dry first, and after a short while, they will split and break.
Get Frequent Trims
“The best way to treat dry [ends] is a haircut!”
says IGK stylist, Olya Iudina.
Your ends are the oldest parts of your hair, and as such, are already prone to dryness.
Skipping conditioner can cause already dehydrated hair to become excessively dry.
For a daily conditioner, Francis recommendsBetter Natured Hydrating Milk Sprayor theBetter Natured Strengthening Leave-in Cream.
Condition Correctly
There’s a difference between conditioning your hair and simply wasting product.
To really get the moisture-surge you’re after, Iudina recommends releasing as much water from your strands first.
And if you’re worried about weighing the hair down with product, just focus on the ends.
“Lets say you want to maximize the volume at the roots.
Even if you’re conditioning daily in the shower, it may not be enough.
He recommends the Better NaturedMoisture Replenishing Masque.
“It penetrates the hair cuticle with enough moisture to strengthen your hair, giving it a healthy shine.
Its an incredible treat for your ends, especially to have once a week.”
To apply it correctly, distribute the leave-in conditioner to damp ends before towel-drying.
Brush with a de-tangling brush or comb to distribute the product throughout the ends and let it fully absorb.
Take it from Francis, who offers up some advice: “Try not to shampoo every day.
On your off day, rinse your hair and condition the ends.
That break from cleansing the hair will prevent dry ends with extra moisture.”
“While towel drying be very delicate, do not rub it on your hair,” echoes Iudina.
“I love theWet Brushas it really doesnt tear the hair.
Start detangling from the ends, working the brush upward toward the scalp.
Always start at the ends!”
Schedule a Keratin Treatment
For especially glossy, frizz-free results, consider scheduling akeratin treatmentwith your stylist.
There are, however, a plethora of other in-salon treatments available like boosters and custom-blended masks.
“Kerastase Fusio-Dose are great in-salon treatments,” notes Spino.
“They are very moisturizing and have mix-ins for added benefits such as shine, anti-frizz and strength.”
Start by using a moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioning treatment.
Before blow drying hair, add in a heat protectant cream, focusing on the ends of your hair.
As you blow dry your hair, use a large round brush or flat brush to smooth your ends.
Mash one ripe banana and add in one tablespoon of olive oil until the mixture looks creamy and frothy.
Apply the mask to your wet hair in the shower, focusing on the ends.
Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse out.
Dont apply conditioner to your roots as it can make your hair look greasier.
