Damaged weak hair can be due to many factors like lack of proper diet, hair texture, excessive use of hairstyling products, etc. The best approach for healthy hair care is to follow a diligent regimen of strengthening and protection.

Hair Care Tips for Weak Damaged Hair

  • Take your time when brushing your hair.
  • Choose a brush that helps, not harms your hair.
  • Be careful when using hair accessories.
  • You probably do not need to shampoo every day.
  • Most of us need conditioner to maintain our hair's health.
  • The best method to grow your hair long and healthy is to have patience while applying different care tips.

To prepare your hair for long-term growth

Regularly cut and trim damaged areas with split ends or poorly maintained layers.

Hair coloring products and dyes can make your hair damage and harsh chemical in coloring can damages hair and restrict their growth.

Use shampoo suitable for your hair type and remember that hair is more delicate and can easily be damaged when wet.

Long hair needs regular conditioning to rejuvenate strands that may be years old.

Drink plenty of water for natural moisture to hair.

Eat a balanced diet including multivitamins and proteins to encourage hair growth.

Massage your hair with hot oil before washing and exercise also helps to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles.

Avoid stressful situations that may prompt hair loss.

maybe we should get it to a hair expert of the sunsilk or put another shampoo like head 'n'shoulders or fiama 'di wills'shampoo or go to the saloon to cut split ends and kill dandruff!

Advice by Dana 20-Jan-2010
In my opinion, the best thing to do is go to a salon that sells Kerastase.  They have "in-salon" treatments that are amazing. Also, start using the Kerastase Resistance shampoo for weakened hair.  Follow it with the Resistance Age Recharge Conditioner.  I also mix this with the Nutritive, Nutridefense Conditioner. Try leaving the conditioners on for at least an hour before rinsing. Rinse with cool water.  I didn't think there was much hope for my hair until I started this regimen.  By all means, do not brush your hair!  I've heard a boar bristle brush is good for the hair but I am holding off even on that until my hair is back in optimal shape.  If you have long hair, wear it up in a pony tail as much as possible to prevent further damage.. .especially on windy days.  Get a satin pillow case and don't wash your hair every day. If you get tangles in your hair, get them out with your fingers and not with a brush or comb. Scalp massages and B-complex vitamins are good to stimulate growth.

Advice by Jeena 2-Sept-2009

For dry hair use pure olive or coconut oil from the ear point down to the ends once per week. Leave it in your hair for a few hours. As an added bonus, put on a bath cap and stand in a hot steamy shower or hold a hot hair dryer over it to allow the oils to really penetrate. To address brittle hair that is falling out, add an all-natural, organic shampoo to your regimen. SHampoos can be very harsh and stripping, causing hair to weaken and fall out. I like Jason's Natural Biotin Shampoo. Be careful with PROTEIN-BASED products -- while they do strengthen hair, they can be VERY drying. Use them sparingly - once every week or 2 weeks. Make sure you're taking a good multi-vitamin with biotin AND take an omega-3 supplement. Give it time and your hair will grow fast and be healthy. Good luck

my hair is also dry and damage so, heena or mehandi is good put with oil or egg or with out egg.


Advice by Jay 13-August-2009
olive oil is great for your hair if it is dry. cover hair in olive oil for one to two hours then wash and condition and you will see a huge difference. it will be alot softer shinier and even healthier.

Advice by Anna 14-May-2009
For dry damaged hair, the best oil is coconut oil, works great and smells great.

Advice by Sonu 11-Nov-2008
you can mix 2 lemons, one egg and some coconut oil according to your hair length. Apply on hair and keep for 2 hours . It gives shiny hair and hair fall stops. It works. Try it .

Advice by Maria 17-Sep-2008
Hi there, wash hair with paste made out of shoeflower leaves and avoid shampoo and you can see the difference which comes out real shiny and smooth.use only for dry hair (you cant use it when your hair is oiled).

Advice by Cherie 4-Aug-2008
My friend and i have bleached our hair nearly every month for the past year and we started to notice how thing and fragile our hair was getting, and it was snapping off and felt rough. we started to use Aussie 3 minute miracle treatments, and also apply face moisturizer to our hair and cut out straightening. a month onwards and our hair is gaining thickness and feels so much healthier. so try using a face moisturizer like nivea on your hair overnight and you will see the difference!

Circulation to your head helps hair grow long. if you massage your head daily it brings the blood to your head which s circulation and helps it grow...(i read this in a seventeen magazine)

Hi....  I have dry damaged hair. I have been adviced to use Himalaya's protein shampoo for dry and damaged hair & Conditioner.. Is this treatment will do good?? Or its only money making business?? Is Mehandi advisable for my hair??

Expert Hair Advice: Hello Arti, Himalaya's hair products are good. You can give this a try. Mehandi or called as Heena is very good option for dry damaged hair. Use it twice a month.
