Damaged or dry hair: what flatters it
Best avoided
Keeping fragile length 'just in case', and high-heat, high-maintenance styles that re-damage new growth.
Decision guide
- Cutting off split, dry ends instantly improves how hair looks and feels.
- Choose a shape that air-dries well to avoid re-damaging with heat.
- A clean blunt line on healthy hair beats holding on to fragile length.
