7 Products and Tools to Fix Damaged Hair

If you have over-processed, dry, or damaged hair, you’re probably aware that there are numerous products on the market designed to address these issues. These products aim to reduce frizz, repair broken bonds, and provide moisture. There are different regimens to try, from hair cycling, which involves two separate wash cycles, to repair systems that target split ends and breakage. However, the success of these products depends on factors such as hair quality, hair type, and individual circumstances. In my own experience, I’ve used too much bleach over the years in an attempt to achieve various shades of blonde, resulting in damaged ends that are in desperate need of hydration. I not only desire silky, smooth texture but also want to minimize heat styling as much as possible, as my current stylist advises against using any heat on my hair. Therefore, I’ve been testing various products and tools to find the safest and most effective options for damaged hair like mine. In this article, I’ve compiled 7 products and tools to fix damaged hair.

Rosemary Oil

GuruNanda Rosemary Essential Oil ($6)

My hair always feels significantly smoother after a morning wash when I’ve slept with rosemary oil on my scalp. While you can also use it on your skin, I love the hair growth benefits that come with dripping it onto my scalp and allowing it to work its magic overnight. I’ll often apply this quickly before a morning run, too.

Multi-Use Hair Styler

Dr.PAWPAW It Does It All: 7 in 1 Hair Treatment Styler ($15)

I’m constantly amazed by the fast-acting effects of this styler. I use it for everything from taming frizz to detangling my hair when I’m fresh out of the shower (with my damaged hair, knots begin to form almost instantly). I also find this to be a smart travel product since it accomplishes so many goals with just one spray. Rather than packing your leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, and serum, this all-in-one option makes your baggage much lighter. What’s more, it boasts a delicious mango-coconut scent and is vegan-friendly.

Replenishing Shampoo Bar For Travel

Ethique Mintasy Refreshing Solid Shampoo Bar For Balanced to Dry & Damaged Hair ($15)

Not only is Ethique a vegan, eco-friendly brand with its plastic- and cruelty-free production methods, but it’s also complementary to an on-the-go lifestyle. Most of my replenishing hair kits come with larger shampoo and conditioner bottles that aren’t travel-size, so I like to pop this bar into a plastic container and pack it in my duffle for weekend getaways. There are over 10 different varieties of this shampoo bar to fit all of your needs, whether you have a sensitive scalp or need a purple shampoo for neutralizing brassy tones.

Hair Clips For Styling

Drybar Hold Me Hair Clips ($16, originally $19)

Before I added these smoothing hair clips to my styling routine, I found separating my hair into sections while styling to be quite challenging. Oversize claw clips led to tangling and my damaged, frizzy pieces almost instantly fell out of a hair tie. These clips are ultra-strong and don’t slip, and they hold everything in place whether my hair is wet or dry.

Leave-in Repair Mask

K18 Leave-In Repair Hair Mask Treatment ($29)

I hate to choose favorites, but K18 should truly be everyone’s go-to brand for repairing damaged hair. The biotech treatment restores strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce with every application, so I use it every time I wash my hair after towel-drying. The vegan and cruelty-free formula is highly concentrated, so you really don’t need a lot and it works in just four minutes. As our PS senior beauty editor writes in her K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask review, “It gives me bounce and movement and miraculously doesn’t weigh down my fine hair.”

Hydrating Hair Oil

Amika Water Sign Hydrating Hyaluronic Hair Oil ($32)

I like to run this hydrating hair oil through my ends before going to sleep. My hair tends to get more coarse and dry overnight, and I find this product, which contains an eight-oil blend, to be a good preventative measure. A little goes a long way, so you really get bang for your buck. After all, you don’t want to add too much oil to your hair so that you wake up with greasy-looking roots.

Frizz-Taming Hair Oil

Squigs Beauty Gooseberry Delight Hair Oil ($34)

No product tames my frizz like the Squigs Gooseberry Delight. No matter what hairstyle I’m going for, this is the final step of my process. I barely have to use more than a few drops. The oil is lightweight, so as long as you don’t use too much, your scalp won’t feel greasy, and your hair won’t look weighed-down. I personally like to rub it in my palms and then pat down any areas where I notice flyaways. Free from synthetic fragrances and dyes, it can also be used as an overnight treatment.
