Recovering From Hair Adhesive Remover Damage

By Brenda Russell


There are many external factors that can traumatize your hair and scalp and cause hair breakage and hair loss. One of them includes the use of hair adhesive remover among other chemicals. Most women at one point in their lives find themselves using hair adhesives and removers when adding hair extensions.

When faced with such a hair problem, the first thing that anyone should do is to start a special treatment that will help stabilize the problem. The treatment usually involves a change in the way one treats his or her hair and scalp. The treatment which can take several months gives the hair time to recover.

During this time, the hair and scalp should be given consistent care for the problems to disappear. It may mean that you avoid the adhesives and any chemicals that you have been using until the scalp and hair are stable. Thereafter you can reintroduce them. It is crucial for you to be willing to maintain a stable environment for your hair for the recovery process to be successful.

Depending on the extent of the damage to the hair and scalp, the recovery process can last from four weeks to even six months. The main thing to remember is that during this time you should provide the same treatment and stick to the same program. Always think of the hair as a patient who is in a critical state and needs to be watched and cared for closely for the patient to recover. All treatments and medicines must be delivered consistently for the patient to recover.

When dealing with chronic hair loss and breakage, the stabilization program can last up to twelve weeks before moving to the maintenance part of the treatment. During this period the main focus is to stop the hair from further loss and breakage. The stabilizing program can include shampooing your hair regularly while maintaining a balanced pH on the hair and scalp. Deep conditioning using a protein moisturizing and stabilizing conditioner will help naturally repair, rejuvenate and rebuild the hair.

Always apply the deep conditioner to your hair and scalp and focus on the weak areas. Avoid combing the conditioner to your hair and instead, use your hands by rubbing it in from the top of your head. Remember to always handle your hair gently. Never handle it roughly.

It is always important to sit in a dryer to allow the conditioner to work on your hair. Thereafter you should rinse the conditioner off your hair using warm water. When drying the hair after rinsing, towel blot your hair by carefully squeezing the strands.

Hair vitamins are ideal for your hair as they fill in areas of the hair shaft that are thin. This increases the hair elasticity and stabilizes the breakage. You should apply the hair vitamins after drying the hair and focus on all the weak areas.

During the recovery period, it is important that you avoid all heating tools. Blow dry, curling, pressing or using a flat iron should be avoided completely. Use roller setting instead and always apply a sculpting lotion before your set on the rollers.
