How To Recover From Hair Damage Caused By Hair Adhesive Remover

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.

In the course of the treatment, one must ensure that the hair and scalps receive constant care for the problem to disappear. One must avoid the use of any adhesives or other external factors on the hair and scalp to stabilize them. Once the problem is solved they can be reintroduced slowly with care. The stable environment must be maintained for the hair and scalp to recover successfully.

Hair experts estimate the recovery process to last up to six months depending on the extent of the problem. As long as one is able to provide constant and consistent treatment to the hair during this period, the problem should be eliminated. The hair at this time should be pictured to be a patient who is in a critical condition at the hospital and needs close monitoring to recover. All the medication and treatment must be delivered as per the prescription for the recovery to be quick for the patient.

To start off the treatment, the hair must go through a stabilization program that can last twelve weeks. The focus of the program is to prevent further breakage and hair loss. The steps include doing regular shampooing of the hair and maintaining a constant pH balance on the scalp and hair. You will also be required to apply a deep conditioner on the hair with protein moisturizing and stabilizing properties that will help in the repair, rejuvenation, and rebuilding of the hair.

As you apply the deep conditioner, focus on the hair weak areas. It is recommended that you use your hands to apply the conditioner instead of a comb. You should rub it in from the top of your head gently. Always handle your hair in a gentle manner and not 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.

When going through this treatment, it is crucial that you avoid any form of heating on your hair. The use of blow dry, flat iron, curls and presses should be avoided. Instead, use roller setting and always apply a sculpting lotion on your scalp before you put on the rollers.
