Sometimes, no matter how you hard you try, you still end up with hair damage. Between heat styling, bleach, and picking at split ends, there are so many damaging things we do to our hair on a daily basis.

Even though hair damage can be a real bummer, there are plenty of haircare products out there that can help you repair damage and achieve healthy hair, no matter your hair type.

Our shopping experts have rounded up the best haircare to reverse and prevent damage.

What causes hair damage?

For starters, experts say hair damage occurs when the hair cuticle (aka the outer layer of your hair) is comprised.

There are a number of reasons why this can happen.

You may be using excessive heat when styling your hair or regularly using hair dye and bleach. Perhaps you love wearing tight hairstyles that require elastic hair bands, like slicked back buns and ponytails (something I’m personally guilty of).

Even going to bed with wet hair can lead to hair damage! 

Damaged hair often shows up as split ends or those stubborn flyaways at your scalp that refuse to be tamed. Brittle, dry hair lacking in shine is another common sign, usually caused by a lack of moisture and hydration.

Unfortunately, hair damage can even lead to hair loss.
