Damaged hair can happen to anyone at any age due to daily heat styling and brushing, coloring and chemical treatments, environmental exposure such as sunlight or air pollution, as well as environmental aggressors like UV rays. But with the appropriate products on the market, there are ways to break this cycle of destruction.

Check out formulas with bond-building ingredients and frizz-taming botanical blends; here are a few of our recommendations.

1. TRESemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo & Conditioner

TRESemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo provides just this – strengthening and nourishing damaged strands so they’re strong enough to withstand breakage, leaving behind healthy-looking silky locks with silky-smooth finishes.

Combing, styling and everyday maintenance of hair can lead to breakage. This salon-quality pro style product fortifies and repairs strands with its 5-Vitamin Blend formula; keeping them healthy-looking.

To use, apply a generous amount of TRESemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo onto damp strands. Use fingertips to gently massage the scalp and roots of your hair in order to work up lather before lightly squeezing from roots to ends with fingertips and rinse out thoroughly afterwards. Follow up with TRESemme Tres Two Extra Hold Hair Spray as a heat protectant against humidity styling as well as extra hold against heat styling; the entire hair strengthening system is paraben- and sulfate-free *Trenemme test results vs non-conditioning shampoo results (*Trenemme results vs non-conditioning shampoo).
