Get Healthy, Gorgeous Hair

Undo the Damage

Frequent shampooing. Blow-drying and ironing. Straightening and relaxing. Exposure to moisture-robbing UV rays. Your locks take a lot of abuse.

To repair hair: Slather on conditioner. Strengthen ends with a protein-fortified shampoo, followed by a conditioner with ingredients that prevent snags once hair is dry, says New York City stylist Ted Gibson. Try Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner, $3.99 each, drugstores. Once a week, use a deep-treating mask, such as Soap & Glory Hair Supply Super Gloss-Giving Radiance & Repair mask, $9.99, target.com, to infuse strands with moisture.
