What causes breakage and what can be done to repair it?
I. The cause of brittle hair :
Brittle hair is a common hair problem that can affect many people. Certain hair types are naturally more sensitive and fragile than others. It is therefore essential to take even better care of them on a regular basis in order to repair the damage caused by various external factors
One of the main culprits is excessive exposure to harsh chemicals, such as hair dyes, perms and relaxers. These products can strip hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, fragile and brittle.
In addition, frequent use of heated appliances such as straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers can also lead to hair breakage, as excessive heat weakens the hair structure.
Repeated mechanical actions will also eventually sensitize the hair. Daily shampooing, brushing, straightening and frequent colouring will dry out the hair, causing split ends and making it very dry and brittle.
Factors include stress, lack of sleep orwater, smoking and poor diet.
Dietary deficiencies are also among the causes of damaged hair. To be healthy, our hair needs vitamin B, zinc and sulfur.
