Many of us have an established skincare routine that we stick to day in, day out – but can you say the same when it comes to your hair? According to London-based hairdresser Michael Van Clarke, the secret to healthy, glossy tresses is understanding what can harm your locks – and what to do to minimize the damage. Over the past 25 years, he has researched and practiced solutions to not just mask damaged hair,
but rebuild it from within and protect every strand from root to tip. Watch the following video for natural homemade hair oil to grow hair faster.
Hair is a mirror of our inner workings,’ he told FEMAIL. ‘What goes into the body comes out in the hair. ‘But more important to the quality and condition beyond what we eat is what our hair lives through on the outside.’
Unlike skin, the hair you see is no longer connected to the metabolism, so it cannot repair itself once it leaves the scalp. It’s then exposed to a range of factors that can sap the life out of it and leave it thinner, weaker and drier.
Once it loses moisture and the protein structure of the hair breaks down, its protective cuticle lifts, leaving it feeling rough or frizzy and more exposed to further injury. Here Michael shares the destructive lifestyle choices that can be harmful to hair – and how best to revive it.
