Hair Breakage? Things To Check

November 03, 2016

Hair Breakage

 1. AGE

Most people don’t like to hear this, but as we age, we experiment hormonal changes and our hair becomes weaker, more fragile and vulnerable to breakage.

2. DIET AND LIFESTYLE

Unbalanced diets and stress combined with chemical exposure and environmental pollutants can produce nutritional deficiencies and mineral deficits. It is recommended to use a conditioner to provide enough lubrication and to avoid breaking the hair while brushing it with a comb. Use a comb with wide teeth or your fingers to comb through your hair to detangle.

3. COLOR

Frequently coloring your hair with cheap products loaded with chemicals can lead to hair breakage. This is due to a break down of the protein of the hair shaft. It is a good idea to  trim your hair at least every six to eight weeks to get rid of dead ends and don't over-process with highlights. Use a special hair mask once a week. 

4. FLAT IRONS AND BLOW DRYING

The constant use of blow drying and flat irons at high temperatures damages your hair and causes breakage, so set the flat iron and any other tools temperature at a maximum of 400°F.
