Damaged hair requires daily maintenance in
order to nurse it back to health. Unfortunately, we don't always have
the time our hair needs. There are ways to cheat your way to hair
rescue. It's not recommended for regular upkeep, but these tactics
will work in a pinch.
Leave it in.
Comb a leave-in
conditioner while hair is still damp. Then scrunch a
palmful of Paul
Mitchell Sculpting Foam from root to tip. Because it
contains conditioning agents, it will soften up even brittle hair due
to coloring or chemical processing, like KIRSTEN DUNST's
(shown).
Blow-dry carefully. Heat styling is a big reason why hair becomes
damaged. It is possible to hide heat's effects, however. Stand up and
look down at your feet. Part hair so that half falls over each
shoulder. Blow-dry only the roots until they are dry and let the ends
air dry.
Avoid frizz.
If hair is curly, skip the blow-dry and comb a lightweight conditioner
like Framesi
BY Sparkling Mousse Light through damp hair. Then scrunch
ends and let air dry.
Put it up.
You can easily hide damaged ends by putting your hair up. Pull hair
into a pony tail and wrap it around itself. Once you've created a bun,
push in long narrow bobby pins at various directions until it stays
put. Let bangs and layers fall loose to create a sexy-messy look, such
as SANDRA BULLOCK's (shown).
