Q&A for How to Make Your Hair Healthy Again

Don't shampoo too frequently, minimize heat styling and chemical treatments, use high-quality shampoo and conditioner, and eat a balanced diet.

Nothing can repair damaged hair, but coconut oil can help to moisturize and protect hair that has been damaged.

You can't repair damaged hair. Argan and macadamia oils are two of my favorites for smoothing and hydrating damaged hair.

No. You can make it look better, but once it's damaged, the damage is permanent.

Avoid using products with harsh chemicals that strip your hair of any moisture, leaving it brittle and frizzy. Instead, look for products with coconut, olive, or jojoba oil, aloe vera, and honey for the best results.

Some shampoo brands that promote healthy hair growth without use of harsh chemicals are Davines, Diva Curl, and Oribe.

Using heat tools will affect your hair texture, but you can minimize the impact by always using thermal protectors before heat styling and using your tools on the lowest effective setting. Conditioning regularly, not over-shampooing, and avoiding chemical treatments will also help.

Yes! Professional deep conditioning treatments lock in moisture for up to 3 weeks, much longer than ones you can do at home. They cost on average about $30 dollars, but this is definitely worth the benefits that you'll be getting.

Massage your scalp 2 to 3 times a week with coconut oil. Leave it in for at least an hour or overnight.

It is better to aim for healthy, unsaturated fats found in nuts, seeds and vegetable oils, and get enough vitamins.

Yes, this routine works for any hair type. Try using products that are made specifically for curly hair types.

Keep your hair hydrated by using a little bit of coconut oil in it. Also, try washing your hair only 2 to 3 times a week instead of every day. Lastly, try to wear a scarf, hat, or hood over your hair when you go outside. This will help protect it from the cold and wind.

Unfortunately, you cannot change your hair black again without dyeing it. You can try reducing the stress in your life, and that might help any new hair that grows to come out black, but it won't change the color of hair that's already out.

Conditioner helps, as do regular careful trims. See further: How to Remove and Prevent Split Ends for more ideas on how to care well for hair with split ends.

You can't, there's no miracle pill or anything. You'll just gave to wait a little while.

It may, depending on how you handle your hair. Some hairstyles, such as braids and tight ponytails, will be harmful to your hair, as too pulling on the hair strands. Some people may not be gentle with their hair while braiding, etc., which can make the hair damage worse. Leaving your hair down or in a loose ponytail will make your hair fall out the least because you aren't putting any strain on it or pulling at it roughly.

You should trim your hair at least once a month. If you do it less often, like three times a year, then your hair will get split ends between those months. All the split ends and thin hair at the ends would have to be cut off.

The density of hair is determined by several factors including diet, heredity, disease, etc. By eating healthily, consuming at least 8 glasses of water daily, and exercising regularly, you can keep your hair healthy. You can also try using castor oil regularly (apply a tablespoon at least an hour before you shampoo) and switching to natural shampoos with ingredients like shikakai, marshmallow root, amla, soapnut, sage or plain baking soda. You will still need to condition your hair in some way - try conditioners, oils, serums etc.

Try to wash your hair with warm but not hot water because it damages it and in the end of the shower, try rinsing your hair with cold water and do not brush your hair with a brush or comb.

Getting frequent hair cuts is the best way to obtain healthy hair. Hair that is left untrimmed is likely to split and break, causing thinning hair with a lack of luster. Wash your hair every 3-4 days to avoid drying it out, and apply a leave-in conditioner or mask once a week to condition.

Use Jamaican castor oil, avocado oil, and rice water on the bald spots or on all of your hair. Do this consistently and you will notice a difference.

Yes, a hair spa is great for making good healthy hair. It massages your hair, and puts essential oils in it. However, you need to make sure your hair is already healthy. Go to a hair spa every one or two months.

Start off by avoiding heat as much as possible. Condition at least once a week, but don't wash it too often (washing you hair every day may damage it even more, so stick with 1-2 times a week). You can also try putting oils (coconut, castor, etc.) into your hair, and a simple trim will also help get rid of split ends.

If it’s brittle, dry, has split ends, and falls out, it’s not healthy.

You can try straightening it if your hair isn’t damaged. Just make sure to apply heat protection spray.

Try using TRESemmé color protection, it softens the hair. Whisked egg can help hair growth, and coconut oil is best for dry hair. Try not to towel-dry the hair, let it naturally air-dry, and don't use hot hair tools.

Yes, but you should use some kind of heat protectant. Try to use heat on your hair as rarely as possible.

Massage your scalp 2 - 3 times a week with coconut oil. Leave in for at least an hour (or, even better, overnight).

You can try an organic shampoo to help with your damaged hair.

Stop using any heat on your hair. Condition it weekly, but only wash your hair once or twice a week to avoid damage. As a last resort, you can cut your hair short.
