Haircare has been one of the most interesting subjects for me growing up. Being surrounded by a community of people who did hair for a living, it makes sense why I was intrigued by the practice. I learned a lot about the dos and don’ts of my hair. I was the one who had to keep up with maintenance after all.

Continuing my journey of discovering what’s fact or fiction when it comes to natural hair, I was lucky enough to be able to ask Eliza Pineda some questions about haircare. Eliza is a hair and beauty journalist who works with Mayraki Professional, a haircare company dedicated to developing products that solve hair and scalp issues without breaking the bank.

Can you repair damaged hair without cutting it off?

It’s rare for hair to be damaged beyond repair. The typical damage you get from regular heat styling, coloring, and chemical treatments can be easily repaired by giving your hair a little extra love. Regular hair repairing treatments, protein treatments, hot oils, and hair masks will go a long way. There’s no need to cut off damaged hair.
