How to revive burnt hair: Tips for bleached hair recovery

Burnt hair is one of the most common side effects of improperly conducted bleaching. Check out our tips if you have suffered from a failed colouring job. Your hair can look beautiful again.

What characterizes burnt hair? It is strands that have lost their natural structure—they are porous, frizzy, break easily, and lack elasticity. Fortunately, several methods can restore their former shine.

Is a visit to the hairdresser necessary? Unfortunately, in many cases, the answer will be affirmative. No miraculous method will be sufficient if your hair is split and crumbling. The damage will only worsen, so don’t hesitate to seek help from a specialist.

However, several home remedies exist for regenerating damaged hair (but not those in critical condition). It’s worth using herbs in your care routine. A cool infusion of nettle, field horsetail, or burdock can be applied to the strands and scalp. This is a natural and gentle method of regeneration.

Homemade oil can also work wonders. Heat olive oil and pour it into a glass bottle to prepare it. Add rosemary oil and massage the mixture into your hair, leaving it on for about 20 minutes. Then, wash your hair with shampoo. The olive oil moisturizes your hair, while the rosemary is an antioxidant. This treatment can be repeated once a week.

Another way to regenerate hair is a highly nourishing hair mask. You can make it with ingredients you have at home. Mix two eggs with three tablespoons of honey, apply it to your hair, and cover your head with a cap. After half an hour, wash your hair with shampoo and use conditioner. Honey moisturizes and protects the hair from damage, while eggs help rebuild the burnt strands. This perfect combination nourishes and moisturizes damaged hair.
