Love coloured locks? Or a permed look? Chemical treatments, such as bleaching, colouring, perming, and straightening have a dramatic effect on the quality of hair’s protein. The hair’s shaft becomes porous and brittle, which can lead to breakage and frizz.

Sukin’s Natural Balance Shampoo & Conditioner is free of sulphates, silicones and harsh chemicals that can further dry out and strip your hair and scalp of natural oils and moisture.

It also uses baobab oil, which has vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids to nourish and protect your crowning glory, while adding lustre and shine.

There’s an age-old adage of brushing your hair with 100 strokes a day. But aggressive or over-brushing wet or dry hair, and pulling hair back too tightly can cause snapped strands to stand on end.

The star player here is argan oil, which has ample amounts of tocopherols (vitamin E), essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that hydrate and nourish the hair.

Linseed extract, derived from flaxseed, also helps combat hair breakage thanks to alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps boost hair health.

Are you holding your hairdryer too close to your hair? Using the highest heat setting? Or going over the same section with a hair straightener or hair curler over and again?

High heat breaks down the keratin proteins and hydrogen bonds in your strands, and are likely to reduce your hair’s elasticity, making it weaker and more susceptible to breakage.

As its name suggests, this leave-in hair product shields your tresses from external stressors, including UV radiation, chlorine, humidity — and doubles as a heat protectant against your styling products.

The treatment works by coating your hair strands with a polymer coating to help safeguard against stressors.

Weather plays a big part in the state of your hair. Rain and high humidity will cause tangling and frizzing, thanks to the water molecules in the air that can disrupt and weaken your hair’s hydrogen bonds. The wind and UV rays from the sun can be just as damaging to hair cuticles.

If you need help in the detangling department, try Oribe’s detangling shampoo, which has an array of  nourishing ingredients — think botanical extracts like watermelon and edelweiss to shea butter and rice seed protein, which condition, hydrate and soften hair to keep knots at bay.
