Damaged Hair

1. Damage Damaged H d Ha air ir Is your hair just not feeling the same? Is your hair breaking? do you have split ends? Is your hair dull and lifeless?? In general there are 4 ways you can damage your hair and there is actually a lot of science behind the damage that can be done to your hair. 1.Thermal damage– this is no real surprise though is it? Of course all that heat from your hair tools – blow dryer, etc is damaging your hair. At Head Case Hair we realise that you want to style your hair and to do that you need heat – so what do you do? Our hairdressers in Paddington know that hair responds to temperatures differently and the higher the temperature the more damage you do to the protein in your hair. Rather than having your hair straightener or blow dryer on the hottest setting, lower the temperature okay it might take you a few minutes more, but you’ll be saving your hair. 2.Mechanical – This damage happens when you roughly towel dry or brush and comb your hair and this damage happens when your hair is wet. Think of your hair as a spring, you pull it and it snaps back, but eventually it gets to that point where it doesn’t snap back – when your hair is wet it’s easier to pull that *spring* so you shouldn’t play with it too much. Hairdressers in Sydney recommend squeezing the moisture from your hair (rather than rubbing) and brush or comb it when it’s mostly dry. 3. Chemical –The degree of damage done to your hair by bleaching, perming, colouring depends on how aggressive the treatment was – perming uses a few chemicals and lightening your hair can be more damaging than colouring

2. your hair. Dyeing strips away the *F-layer* of your hair (this is a layer of fatty acid that is bound to your hair cuticle and is responsible for hair's natural shine, smoothness and softness) when you lose this layer you have hair more susceptible to damage. 4.Environmental –A huge contributing factor to hair damage is UV Radiation – it penetrates the hair and breaks down its protein. So what can you do to repair your damaged hair? Unfortunately hairdressers in Sydney know you can’t actually repair the damage that’s already been done, but at Head Case Hair they can fix the effects of the damage and make your hair look like the damage was never there. At the Head Case Hair salon in Darlinghurst a Deluxe treatment is just $40 or a hair therapy treatment is available for $25.00.
