When we talk about hair health, it seems like everyone knows the theory, but in practice, many of us overuse heat styling tools, coloring, or chemical treatments. This is a huge mistake because hair already endures too many external aggressors—like the sun, high temperatures, pollution, free radicals, and wind—that cause it to age prematurely. Adding more stress on a daily basis is only making things worse. That’s why I’m here to help you understand what over processed hair looks like and how to fix it.
over processed hair: everything you need to know
The fast pace of everyday life often makes us overlook small signs that our hair health is at risk.
If you've recently noticed that…
· Your ends are split
· Your hair is frizzy
· Your hair is dull and lifeless
· You're losing volume or density
· Your hair is thinning and becoming weaker
· Your hair is brittle
· It’s difficult to style and manage
It’s time to look for a solution. This means the internal structure of your hair is compromised—the bonds and chains that make up your hair have broken down, leaving it damaged, lifeless, and struggling to grow.
Daily styling, dyes, flat irons, blow dryers, pollution, stress, and other aging factors have caused excessive damage to your cuticle, making it break, fold, and lift.
how to fix over processed hair
To restore hair health, promote strong and shiny growth, and bring it back to its virgin state, you need specific products that target the problem from the root—without neglecting the scalp and fiber. Hair is a whole system, and you can’t forget any part if you want to achieve beautiful, healthy locks.
At Miriam Quevedo, we rely on precious ingredients and biotechnology to reverse damage and rejuvenate hair:
· Multi-bond Filler is one of the star ingredients in repairing fiber and over processed hair. Unlike traditional ingredients that only work on the surface, this small molecule is designed to strengthen hair from within by penetrating deeply into the cortex, forming new bonds to support the internal keratin structure. This strengthens hair, restores manageability and resilience, and returns it to its virgin state.
· Our Vegan Keratin also provides manageability, strength, and shine while protecting hair from harsh salon processes, improving combability, and reducing damage from treatments and aggressive styling.
· The Thermal Protection System creates a protective layer on the cuticle, giving hair smoothness, shine, flexibility, and manageability. It also protects from thermal damage, reduces the force needed to comb through hair, and minimizes breakage caused by brushing. Plus, it decreases frizz and reduces friction.
*Clinical studies conducted on specific ingredients.
· Vitamin C Ester, created using skincare technology applied to hair care, binds to hair's amino acid groups to repair and seal the cuticle, regenerating and restoring it.
*Clinical studies conducted on specific ingredients.
· The Black Baccara Rose Youth Concentrate has powerful free radical-fighting properties that combat hair thinning, along with high antioxidant content, photoprotection, and strong anti-aging action. It protects against oxidative damage and external aggressors.
