Tips to improve your dry damaged brittle hair:
Home Remedies for Dry Brittle Hair Prevention

1. Don't over color. Single-process color should only be done once a month and highlights only need to be done every two to three months
2. Use NanoWorks  at the bowl right after coloring, wait 24 hours then condition dry hair using a deep-conditioning treatment with heat
3. Use a shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair to protect the color and keep hair looking healthy
4. Use a detangling leave-in  (leave-on) conditioner to protect the hair and prevent damage by making it easier to comb through the hair.
5. Be sure you hair is dry before using your curling iron or flat iron. Dry your hair, wait 3 minutes and test for dampness using your fingers. If it feels damp or cold dry your hair again. If you see steam when you use curling iron or flat iron, STOP and re-dry your hair because there is still too much water inside the hair shaft. The water turns to instant-steam and the instant-steam damages the hair.

If you color your hair darker (back to where you started) expect that your hair will still feel dry.  The cause probably isn't the color of your hair it is the condition of the hair. Color on color always goes darker and when you add more pigment inside the hair shaft it can still feel dry. The newly added pigment jammed inside the hair shaft may even make the hair feel a little dryer (less bendy) while the color may have improved the condition of your hair.

To keep hair shiny-looking all day, use a shine-enhancing finishing product.

TIP #1 Get a realistic hairstyle! Length equals weight. The longer you wear your hair the more it weighs and the flatter it wants to be to your head. Don't expect a shoulder length bob to be full at the part. Shorter fine hair that is "slide cut"  into today's styles can be fun as well as quick and easy to do every day.

TIP #2 Just don't cheat yourself and your hair by leaving off your styling aid. That's right those little styling tools (products) that help keep the style you want and show it off all day long. From the PureOlogy line ...

• When you want hair TO STAY try mixing:
  1 -part TextureTwist with 1-part PowerDressing
• When you blow dry try PureVolume
•  To finish use InCharge & InCharge Plus Hair Spray

TIP #3 If you have double processed (bleached) hair and  minerals in your water you need help. Try EC Mode Just for Well Water System. See why on the Well Water Treatment Systems (Hard Water) page.

In general minerals and calcium bond to hair giving it a "dry hair" feeling. When you color your hair, some of the color is deposited to the minerals / calcium, not just the hair. When you remove the minerals from the hair you will remove some of the color (the color that has stuck to the minerals). This is more noticeable with the red hair colors.

It is not that the Well Water action Shampoo removes color as it is that it removes mineral deposits that some of the color has stuck to. This effect lessen each time you use the Well Water Action line.

For bleached hair, the effect is to take the weight off the hair, as the minerals and calcium leave the hair. Some describe the result as "Leaves the hair softer", "fly away"  Etc. Etc.

Our experience is that the bleach hair will be lighter in color and  in weight and dries faster ( the minerals are no longer there to hold onto the water)  and feels better. That's right when you get the minerals out your Dry Hair won't feel so dry. Mineral and calcium also weigh the hair down and makes its condition  look worse than it really is. So your bleached  hair may be in better condition than you think ! 

The best shampoo for hard water hair: Malibu 2000 Well Water Action Shampoo.

The best way to remove minerals from dry brittle hair is to: 

• use EC Mode Malibu Make Over Treatment for color and Blonds

• this treatment requires heat in the form of a heat cap or dryer (not a blow dryer)

• if you are seeing a lot of build up in your hair consider a water softener 4 your home

• follow up at least once a week with Well Water Action Shampoo & Conditioner

• the Just 4 Well Water Kit has a 9oz shampoo and 9oz conditioner - PLUS a 9oz Quick-In Demineralizer and Well Water treatment packets so you can do a mini maintenance Malibu Makeover treatment weekly right in the shower!
  
  Now that you have the minerals out of your hair and you are working to keep them out ---

• Pureology NanoWorks Restorative Treatment We have talked with women with bleached hair and their comments always come around to NanoWorks Restorative treatment "makes my hair feel like hair again"! My hair stopped feeling "flat and dry." Some use this treatment 2 time a week others use "a little bit every day." 

• Pureology NanoWorks Instant Repair If you hair like leave-in conditioners Pureology has the answer for you and your hair, and it has the same Nano Technology that makes the treatment work so well!
