    Dry, damaged hair has a roughened cuticle and lost moisture and protein. The good news: with the right repair and habits, it can look healthy again.

    Quick Answer

    Dry and damaged hair is caused by heat styling, chemical treatments, sun, hard water and lack of moisture. Repair it with Hair Repair Therapy, regular hydrating hair spas, sulphate-free care and a trim for split ends — while reducing heat and harsh processing.

    Key Takeaways

    • •Damage = roughened cuticle + lost moisture/protein.
    • •Main causes: heat, chemicals, sun, hard water.
    • •Repair therapy and spas restore softness.
    • •Trim split ends; they can't be 'healed'.
    • •Prevention beats repair — reduce heat and harsh styling.

    Signs of Dry, Damaged Hair

    Look for dullness, roughness, frizz, tangling, breakage, split ends and a straw-like feel. Damaged hair is porous, so it loses moisture quickly and absorbs humidity, worsening frizz.

    What Causes It

    Frequent heat styling, bleaching and chemical treatments, sun exposure, hard water, over-washing and aggressive towel-drying all roughen the cuticle and strip moisture and protein.

    How to Repair & Prevent

    In-salon, Hair Repair Therapy rebuilds porosity and reduces breakage, while hydrating hair spas restore moisture. At home, use sulphate-free products, heat protectant, weekly masks, and trim split ends. Prevention — less heat and gentler handling — is key.

    Who Should Choose What?

    Anyone with dull, brittle, frizzy or breaking hair from heat, colour or chemical treatments should start a repair and hydration routine.

    Professional Recommendation

    We typically combine Hair Repair Therapy with monthly hydrating spas and a small trim. For very damaged hair, a short course of treatments plus disciplined sulphate-free home care delivers the best turnaround.
