Many of us style our hair with dryers, straighteners, curling irons,and a variety of chemicals throughout the current wedding and holiday season.However, frequent use of such products can seriously impair the condition of our hair.

Try an egg yolk mask:

Egg yolk contains the same proteins that make up a strong hair follicle. And, according to a 2018 studyTrusted Source, the peptides in egg yolk may help stimulate hair growth.

Egg yolk also contains several essential nutrients that have been linkedTrusted Source to hair growth and healthy hair, including vitamins A and D, biotin, and folate.

You can make your own egg yolk mask by following these steps:

Use 3 egg yolks and 3–4 tbsp. of slightly warm coconut oil.

Mix the two ingredients together well.

Once the mixture is well-blended, apply to your scalp and roots.

Put a shower cap over your head once the mixture has been applied.

Let it sit on your head for 10–15 minutes.

Rinse it out with cool water.

Use a cool rinse:

Showering with water that’s too hot may cause heat damage to your hair, both at the root and on the cuticle. Steam in the shower can open up the cuticles on your hair, which may result in hair that’s dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage.

To protect your hair, lather up with lukewarm water. Then, finish your shower with a spray of cool water on your hair and scalp. This may help seal your hair cuticle, making it easier for your hair to retain moisture.

Dial down the heat:

Blow dryers, straightening irons, hot curlers, and other heated styling tools can take a toll on your hair, especially if your hair is fine, dry, or prone to breakage. Too much heat can weaken your hair, resulting in strands that are damaged or frizzy.

To limit damage from hair drying, researchers who conducted a 2011 studyTrusted Source recommend holding the blow dryer about 6 inches away from the surface of your hair, and to keep the dryer moving and not concentrated on one spot.
