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.

Do you need to cut your hair?

Is a visit to the hairdresser necessary? Unfortunately, in many cases, the answer will be yes. 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.

How to regenerate bleached hair?

It's worth knowing that there are several home remedies for regenerating damaged hair (but not those in critical condition). Consider incorporating herbs into your care routine. A cooled 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. To prepare it, heat olive oil and pour it into a glass bottle. 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 will moisturize your hair, while the rosemary acts as an antioxidant. This treatment can be repeated once a week.

Another way to regenerate hair is with 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.
