To have beautiful hair, they need to be healthy. That’s why broken hair are the worst nightmare of anyone who cares about the health and appearance of the threads. Besides the frizz and unpleasant texture, broken hair loses life, shine and always remains misaligned.
Broken hair, although it looks like a very serious problem, is more common than you might think: as you run your hands through the length of your hair, a considerable number of strands come off and don’t make it to the end – that means you’re suffering from the fall.
We know that it is normal to lose a significant amount of hair each day, but it is important to remember that the hair from the hair fall off the root, not the half.
The good news is that brittle hair is fully recoverable and some changes in attitudes can help to end the problem. Check out the following 5 habits that may be favoring the breakage of your hair and get rid of them:
Wash your hair very hard
When applying shampoo and conditioner, some people put a lot of pressure on the hand movements, rubbing the threads too much. This causes weakening of the hair fiber and weakens the hair. The ideal is to always use light and circular movements. The water should also always be warm to cold, since very hot water also weakens the strands.
Combing hair incorrectly
When it’s time to unravel, if you make a root movement towards the ends, know that this is one of the great causes of the wire breakage. The ideal is to always make slow (but firm) movements, always starting from the tips and gradually going up in length.
Abuse the use of board, dryer and modeler
Although they are powerful styling tools, excessive use of these accessories can cause great damage to the wires. Excessive heat dries the strands, leaving them weaker and therefore more susceptible to breakage. Apart from the fact that the heat itself can burn the strands and damage them even more. It is important to use these tools only when necessary, and never to give up the thermal protector.
Lack of nutrients and vitamins
Did you know that every day yarns are exposed to factors – from exposure to pollution to poor diet and lack of water in the body – that remove nutrients and vitamins from their fiber? Besides eating well and drinking plenty of water, maintaining a care routine that includes replenishing your hair’s natural nutrients, vitamins and lipids will strengthen it and prevent dryness and weakening of the hair fiber, the major cause of broken hair.
Sleeping with wet hair
Hair is more vulnerable while it is wet, so sleeping with it in this state allows the friction with the pillow to break the strands, which are more weakened. The same goes for locking them up while they’re wet. Therefore, avoid washing your hair before sleeping and if you’re not good at it, use a dryer to speed up the process (without forgetting the thermal protector!).
What is the best treatment for brittle hair?
Strong, healthy hair will break much less easily. For this, a care routine based on your specific hair needs should already solve it. The hair schedule, with regular hydrations, nourishments and reconstructions helps replace lost vitamins and nutrients, strengthens the hair fiber, seals the cuticles and repairs the damage caused by chemicals and other aggressions to the hair.
When choosing products, invest in formulas rich in argan oil and keratin. The Hydration Mask S.O.S Curls Castor and Keratin provides intense hydration and reconstruction to repair the hair and strengthen the hair fiber. Vitamin E is also a very important asset that should be included in hair care and diet to ensure unbroken hairstrong, healthy and aligned.
