Hair Rehab: How to Repair Damaged Hair
Damaging our hair is so easy to do and most of us are doing the deed daily, whether it be from color processing, heated styling tools, or climate. So, can damaged hair really be repaired? The short answer is no, unfortunately not. But don’t get the scissors out yet! Hair can be loved, soothed, protected, and coaxed back into the land of shiny, happy, healthy hair.
Healthy shiny hair has a smooth moisture-rich cuticle that is strong and full of elasticity so it can move and bounce around like those dreamy hair commercials. Busted hair that's been over-processed by weather and heat styling, loses that protective seal, and the cuticle layer is lifted making more prone to breakage and tangles. Damaged hair is brittle and frayed with an open cuticle making it look and feel parched, dull, frizzy, and a straw-like.

Color processing or bleaching hair causes the cuticle to lift completely allowing chemicals to enter the cortex which can alter the protein structure and damage the protective barrier. A combo of both color and heat is the perfect storm to weaken hair leading to more breakage and more dullness, yuck.

The good news is that even if your favorite style or color means your hair takes a beating, a gentle shampooing to rid your hair of toxins and regular moisture infusions will add a layer of protection and keep that cuticle smooth. Locking in that bounce-inducing moisture so you can wield your hot styling wands or go after that Kim K platinum style and still have touchable hair.
Our Damaged Hair formula deeply infuses hair with essential nourishment derived from moringa, tamanu and argan oils, ginseng root extract, proteins, and amino acids to bring back bounce.
Key Ingredients That Conquer Supermodel Hair
Argan oil: packed with beneficial nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants, linoleic acid, and omega-6 fatty acids, argan oil encourages healthy hair growth, tames frizz, flyaways and boosts shine.
Tamanu Oil: you already know that it's the foundation of To112 products and that's because it deeply moisturizes hair (among other things) without any added weight or buildup so hair is left stronger and shinier with every use.
Moringa: gets deep into your scalp increasing blood circulation so that the hair follicles get loaded with tons of vitamins like Vitamin B6 and Vitamin E, so your hair can grow stronger and healthier.
