Help! I abused hotplates, what to do?
Why do we abiîme our hair?
Simply because we abuse it! The straightener is not used every day, at the risk of drying, tarnishing and burning the hair. It must be used at most twice a week. We are warned! It is essential to properly protect the hair, before the intervention of a straightener or a curling iron. Whatever your nature of hair, buy previously "thermal care" (type serums) made precisely to avoid this kind of disaster.
Stop everything!
The first thing to realize is obviously to stop everything! The straightener is extinguished for a few weeks, at least as long as the hair recovers. One word of order: leave your hair quiet! At the same time, start pampering your hair ...
hydrate
You have to act quickly, before the forks start to get too big. Apply good nutritional care, such as Leonor Greyl Palm Oil, 2 to 3 times a week (in the most extreme cases). Like the hair are sensitized, they break very easily disentangling. One can quickly end up with unequal and approximate lengths. Arm yourself with shampoos and detangling sprays to avoid the worst during this stage.
Cut to better repel
This may not be the perfect solution for everyone, but the best way to get a beautiful and healthy hair is to cut! Once the fiber is worn out, the treatments are effective but do not allow to reconstitute it. Your hair will only be stronger and more brilliant. In addition, it is perhaps the opportunity to dream of changing face and dare a new cut? For the most refractory to scissors, you can ask your hairdresser to remove the damaged areas, without much touching the lengths, degrading and lightening everything.

I'm too scared to go back through this box ... "
