We’ve just been through a sunny South African summer that most of us spent outdoors, celebrating a bit of the freedom that we didn’t have last year. Whether you have straight, curly, long, short, fine or thick hair; giving it a boost after a harsh summer will put it in the best shape to tackle a dry winter.

We’re highlighting a few products, brands and DIY treatments that can give your damaged hair the moisture and love that it needs.

Caring For Dry and Damaged Hair – 7 Awesome Products That Work

The NOUNOU Hair Mask

This product, created by Davines, is an intense nourishing conditioner for hair that has been bleached, relaxed or permed. It makes your hair soft and shiny, looking and feeling super-nourished. It also detangles it. We love that it is such a rich, luxurious formula, but doesn’t make your hair feel oily or weighted.

Davines is an Italian company whose products are all about sustainable beauty; products that make as little an impact as possible on the environment. They also have a shaving range just for men.

Paul Mitchell’s Super-Skinny Serum

This primer makes frizzy hair quicker to blow-dry and leaves it soft and silky. They use lightweight silicone that seals each hair shaft’s cuticle, which reduces frizziness. It can stand up to some serious humidity too, which is important in South Africa. 

Paul Mitchell is available at most salons and has some fantastic products for the full range of hair types and needs. It has ranges for colour-treated, dry, oily or ageing hair, as well as for men and children.

Miraculous Oil from Suki Suki Naturals

This proudly South African brand is fully committed to products that are completely natural and free of harmful ingredients. They’re also entirely cruelty-free. This oil promotes hair growth, protects the hair, and retains moisture. It contains:

  • Marula oil
  • Moroccan argan oil
  • Kalahari melon seed oil

It is ideal for ethnic hair that needs a real moisture boost.

Redken’s One United Leave-In Conditioner

We love this leave-in conditioner spray that is a really light solution to many of the signs of damaged hair. It provides protection for colour-treated hair and repairs split ends. It also primes your locks for heat styling and helps to reduce dryness and brittleness; leaving it soft, shiny and manageable.

More Products for Dry and Damaged Hair

Here are some other products that moisturise and tame dry, frizzy and damaged hair:

  • Dark and Lovely Moisture Plus Satin Oil (this affordable oil is designed to moisturise African hair while it provides a rich balm for the scalp too).
  • The Sunflower Range from The Perfect Hair, which uses natural oils to enrich, moisturise, and repair ethnic hair.
  • Olaplex No 6 Bond Smoother (a leave-in cream that eliminates frizz, smoothes damaged hair, moisturises, hydrates and strengthens all hair types).

DIY – Make Your Own Moisturising Hair Mask

Use ingredients around your home to create a hair mask that infuses your damaged hair with moisture and leaves you feeling refreshed and pampered. Here are some great combinations (simply blend them well in a liquidiser and apply the mask directly onto your dry hair):

  • Coconut oil, overripe banana and avocado – excellent for damaged hair, this mixture strengthens and soften the shafts, while promoting hair growth.
  • Coconut oil, peppermint oil and jojoba oil – jojoba oil is excellent for hydration, while coconut oil is able to penetrate the shaft and moisturise the hair from within. The peppermint is a soothing anti-inflammatory.
  • Olive oil, honey and avocado – the oils are for moisture and protection, while the honey gives even damaged hair an incredible shine.
  • Coconut oil and pumpkin puree – pumpkin is rich in vitamins A, B2, C and E and infuses the hair with these nutrients. The oil softens it and provides deep moisture.
  • Sweet potato puree, plain yoghurt and honey – this mixture is all about moisture, while the yoghurt also helps to prevent your hair products from building up on the shafts.

Supplements

Healthy hair is created from within, since the hair grows from a root. Massaging your skull regularly ensures a healthy blood flow to feed the roots. But, you can also amp up your hair health by taking Omega-6 oils as well as Nordens Ultimate Hair.Skin.Nails. This incredible product stimulates the production of collagen and keratin, which are the building blocks of healthy, strong hair.
