If you have color-treated, permed or chemically-straightened and are also a slave to styling tools, chances are your hair is exceptionally dry, brittle and prone to breakage. If so, it’s time to bring in the extreme hair helpers. What your hair needs are intensively moisturizing treatments delivered in products that also restore and fortify hair’s strength. For a complete hair makeover, try these miracle-working products:

Shampoo with
Phytospecific’s Vital Force Shampoo ($22) or Aveda’s Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo ($29), then apply
Warren-Tricomi’s PureStrength Strengthener for Extremely Dry, Damaged Hair in 2. Close ($28). Finish by conditioning with Phyto’s Phytosesame Conditioner ($26) or Aveda’s Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner ($29).

To best help your hair, try to limit your blow drying and use of heated styling tools as much as possible. If you insist on going this route, before styling, layer on products that serve to protect your hair from the damaging heat or work with it to condition your hair. Redken’s Extreme Anti-Snap Leave-in Treatment ($6),
Frederic Fekkai’s Protein Rx AM/PM Repair ($25) and Infusium’s Complete Moisture Restoration Treatment ($6) work on all textures of hair, while TIGI Bed Head’s Uptight Heat Activated Curl Maker is good for curly hair.

Use a high-intensity hydrating mask like Kerastase’s Resistance Age Recharger ($50) or
Davines’s Nounou ($23.56) two to three times a week to provide hair with much-needed moisture. To heal hair while you sleep, spray on a generous
amount of Ferderic Fekkai’s Overnight Hair Repair. ($195) (Don’t worry –- it won’t ruin your pillowcases!)
