What is the best way to repair hair that is broken or has split ends?
I recommend that clients apply a protein treatment to their hair but this step needs to be applied under the supervision of a hair designer because too much protein can stiffen the hair and actually have adverse effects leading to more breakage. Typically, I will have a client apply a protein treatment with a dab of moisturizer to their hair once a month until the hair is repaired and then I encourage clients to get a deep conditioning treatment about every two months. In addition, a haircut every six to eight weeks will help repair the split ends.
