January 06, 2025•2 min read

Feeling like your hair has seen better days?

Heat styling, chemical treatments, overbrushing, and even the water in your shower can cause damage to your strands. Today, we're getting real about damaged hair and sharing how you can optimize your hair care routine and give those locks some TLC, bringing them back to life.

It starts with the shampoo. Regularly removing scalp buildup is essential for maintaining healthy hair, but many shampoos can actually be harsh and drying in their effort to leave you squeaky clean.

We recommend a restorative and strengthening shampoo like the Kevin Murphy REPAIR-ME.WASH. This reconstructing treatment shampoo is enriched with powerful proteins and amino acids to help strengthen the hair and gently remove impurities, giving damaged hair the fresh start it deserves! You can also mix in a clarifying shampoo, like Kevin Murphy MAXI.WASH, every few weeks when it feels like time for a deep cleanse.
Conditioner isn't just a silky indulgence for your strands; it's the biggest hero in your hair care routine. It plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair by providing essential hydration and nourishment.

As our hair faces the daily battles of styling, environmental stressors, and heat, conditioner swoops in to restore moisture, smooth out tangles, and enhance the overall texture, leaving your locks not only softer but also more resilient. So, don't skip this vital step – let conditioner help give you healthy hair that turns heads and feels as good as it looks.
Elevating your hair care routine with a quality hair mask is like giving your locks a spa day – the ultimate act of self-love for those distressed strands! Damaged hair craves deep nourishment and hydration, and a good hair mask delivers just that.

By infusing essential nutrients and moisture, a conditioning hair mask can help repair and strengthen damaged cuticles, leaving your hair noticeably softer and more manageable. It's a straightforward yet effective solution for breathing new life into tired strands – not to mention a fun part of a pampering routine on a cozy night in.
Brush smarter, not harder. Outside of the necessary detangling, you should only brush your hair as much as you need to style it, as aggressive over-brushing can cause breakage. Brushing after your hair has dried somewhat post-wash is also best for keeping it intact.

You’ll also want to make sure you use the proper brush type for your hair. For example, a boar bristle brush may do wonders for fine hair, but thick curly hair will need more specialized wide-tooth detangling brushes that don’t tug or tear.

We hope these tips help your damaged hair feel healthier than ever! Need a little extra love? Tip: Stop by Monarch Salon and ask our stylists about a conditioning treatment customized for your specific hair needs!
