Treat your damaged hair before the big Christmas reunion

- RIA FRANCISCO-PRIETO

Everybody talks about makeup and dolling themselves up in glittery outfits, perhaps forgetting the crucial factor that makes us look good: hair.

Nothing feels as incomplete as a full-on holiday getup on a bad hair day, so lets’ talk about treating damaged hair.

Throughout the year, many women’s hair must have undergone all sorts of color, cuts and treatments. Though we notice the bad effects, we don’t usually trace the damage. Dryness, dullness, dandruff, split ends and frizz are telltale signs of unhealthy hair and scalp.

The good thing is, many products have been launched to solve hair problems. There’s practicall­y one solution for each problem.

For smoother hair

If you’d like a quick pick-meup, snag the all-time favorite Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair. The label is known for natural, eco-friendly products that actually work.

This product is infused with organicall­y derived quinoa protein, wheat protein and soy-derived oil—a combo that shields the hair from environmen­tal stressors and other rough elements. Prevent breakage from the roots by running a dollop through your hair before doing any type of styling.

For fuller hair

This one’s a treat for your thinning, boring hair: a bottle of Swedish cult favorite Sachajuan Hair Repair.

This intensive hair treatment employs Ocean Silk Technology, which is said to promote cell regenerati­on and lend vitality and strength to damaged, stressed hair.

After washing your hair, let the product sit for 5 to 10 minutes on your scalp before rins- ing it thoroughly. Appreciate the shine afterwards.

For healthier scalp

If you’ve got an itching, dry scalp plagued with dandruff, treat it with a multitaski­ng product like TRESemme Renewal Hair & Scalp Deep Condi- tioning Mask.

Infused with Tea Tree Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil, which nourish and provide deep conditioni­ng to the scalp, this mask revitalize­s from the roots to the tip. Part your hair, rub a dollop on your scalp and comb through.

Hide your stress with some oil

For vibrant colored hair

Bring the life back to color-treated hair with products made specifical­ly to amplify it. There are different products for each color, but good old Kérastase Masque Chroma Riche has Aqua-Ionic technology that infuses hair fiber with emollient ingredient­s.

Its UV Filter and Vitamin E Derivative also help protect hair color from fading. This nourishing mask can bring back the radiance of your hair like you just stepped out of the salon.
