At a loss about what your hair needs? Be it a hot oil, protein or frizz-fighting treatment, we’ve got you covered.

Unruly curls, split ends, breakage and thinning hair are our biggest hair concerns. With so many new products and developmen­ts in the hair industry, you’re understand­ably clueless about the treatment your mane needs.

Treatments help to protect and replenish the hair after it’s been styled, relaxed, coloured, braided and weaved. Even if you have natural hair, regular treatments are just as important to enhance and maintain its health and bounce.

The most important thing for you to remember is to have a treatment done every two weeks. That’s how you’ll see a difference.

Most treatments are done exclusivel­y at the salon, but some can be done in the comfort of your home. We break down the right treatment for your hair type.

HEAT DAMAGED

Treatment: Moisture plus

Target dry hair with products formulated to add moisture. Start by using a sulphate-free shampoo and hydrating conditione­r. Injecting your hair with moisture ensures it stays healthy. For shiny yet lively hair strands, get a hot oil treatment.

THIN AND WEAK

Treatment: Keratin

Braids, cornrows or dreadlocks that are pulled too tightly may result in thinning. You need a volumising mousse to boost your hair during the styling process. Keratin treatments are a gamechange­r. Choose the right keratin treatment for your hair type and styling needs to get the most from this smoothing protein. You can also give your locks the illusion of more volume by blow-drying and teasing. Air drying hair can also create volume.
