Q&A for How to Treat Fried Hair

The most important thing is to prevent additional damage so you'll need to get regular trims and avoid heat styling or rough combing. Then treat hair with a combination of protein for strength and oils for moisture.

Coconut oil both moisturizes and protects damaged hair, so it is definitely beneficial. However, you cannot truly repair hair damage.

Olaplex is a conditioner and an external binder. It strengthens the hair and adds shine. But, like all hair treatments, it requires consistent maintenance to work.

Cuticles cannot be healed. The can be made less obvious with oils and shine products or even coated in a protective barrier, but damage to them is permanent.

You can dry your hair by gently squeezing it with a towel. Avoid being too rough when using a towel, as that can damage your hair as well.

No, once hair cuticles have been broken or damaged they can't heal. But, you can get them to close which should help hair appear smoother and shinier.

Olaplex can hydrate and strengthen chemically treated hair. It can also lessen the damage caused by color or bleach if Part 1 is applied in the salon.

Apply a deep conditioner once a week. For best results use one that has both hydrating oils and strengthening proteins. Process only for as long as the bottle recommends under a plastic cap to keep it moist.

This is your hair splitting. It is common in humid and dry areas of the world. I purchased argan oil and I simply apply it with my hands down the length of my long hair. The bonus is that it makes your hair shiny!

This happens to everybody! Brushing your hair at night and putting it into plaits would help, though.

You could try an essential oil massage or a green tea rinse. The essential oil massage needs hair support essential oil blend ($23.00). Put 15-20 drops onto a towel (strictly for your hair) along with a conditioner for hair repair. Massage into your head and the ends of your hair. Do this 2 times a week (taking a bath) until moisture is restored and until hair fallout stops.

When your hair is wet, put it into a classic braid and let it dry overnight for some beachy waves. Or, pin your hair closely to your scalp with bobby pins and let it dry for fun, bouncy curls.

If you've tried everything and nothing is working, it may be time to see a professional. A hair stylist has access to stronger, more curated products that they can use on your hair to strengthen and repair it. Try making an appointment at a salon near you to talk about your hair needs.

Start by using a deep conditioner to add moisture back into your daughter's hair. Use oil treatments and hair masks once a week to hydrate and rejuvenate her locks. As your daughter's hair grows, take her to get trims regularly to cut off the damaged ends as they grow out. It may take some time, but your daughter's hair can get back to normal.
