With all that we put our hair through on a daily basis, it is no wonder that we often suffer from dry, damaged hair. And even though we pile on the products and try a variety of treatments for damaged hair including over-the-counter hair masques and expensive conditioners, often times those do not do the trick. Sometimes you have to head on over to the beauty salon for specialized treatments for damaged hair, which we will highlight for you. One popular salon procedure is a keratin treatment. Keratin is a protein made up of amino acids and helps recover the strength of your hair, along with elasticity and moisture that have been lost and destroyed over time. After the keratin is applied to hair, the stylist will seal it with a protective mask, then blow dry or flat iron the hair. For more on these treatments for damaged hair, read

Another one of the more popular treatments for damaged hair that your salon may offer is a deep conditioning treatment. Your stylist will apply either a conditioning hair masque or hot oil treatment that will be left on your hair for a period of time and will penetrate your hair cuticle, working to repair damage and restore strength and prevent further breakage. In addition, your stylist will most likely want to treat your split ends by giving you a trim in order to give your hair a healthier look and feel. You can perform your own maintenance by using leave-in conditioners and other products at home to tide you over in-between salon visits. Check out

My hair isn't that dry - but I didn't want to guess which product had the right amount of moisturizing for my hair. I bought the Shielo Restoration Oil to just go all out and moisturize the heck out of my hair and scalp. I was concerned about it weighing my hair down. After ysinh the SHielo Hair Oil, my hair is now very soft and shiney! This oil really does work for any hair if it works on mine.
