What causes hair breakage?
You comb your hair and realise that your hair is breaking easily. This happens due to damage and weakening of each hair strand. To identify the reason, you have to backtrack your hair treatments. This includes your frequency of over-styling your hair, excessive chemical treatments, medical conditions, and maintaining a hairstyle that causes pulling of the hair.
Here’s what each of these activities or causes can do to your hair:
- Over-styling your hair: curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers that use high temperatures can damage and weaken the hair shaft, causing hair breakage.
- Excessive chemical treatments: From hair dyes to relaxers, and hair perms, chemicals applied to the hair for longer periods can cause serious damage in the long run. It starts with hair weakening, thinning, and breakage.
- Medical conditions: Hair breakage can also be caused by medical conditions, including anaemia, autoimmune diseases, and thyroid disorders.
- Tying hair incorrectly: Braids, ponytails, and buns cause hair breakage if done too many times.
