Damaged hair can be such an annoyance! I often hear clients say, “I don’t use a
curling iron, flat iron or my hair dryer on high heat so... why is my hair
still dry and damaged?” My answer to
this question is that there are many environmental factors that can cause
damage to your hair as well. Here they
are:
- Well
Water: You may not know it but the water you are using may be filled with
chemicals and chlorine, causing your hair to be extremely dry and it may
even change color.
- Wind: The harsh blowing of the wind can cause severe damage on your hair. Try to cover it while being outside.
- Sun: The Sun omits strong rays that are known to cause damage to your
hair.
- Rubber Bands for Ponytails: When wrapping your hair in a pony tail (especially a
messy pony tail) then removing the pony can cause a lot of damage
especially if the hair gets stuck around the rubber band. This causes a lot of split ends, tearing
and breakage.
- Brushing: When your hair is brushed too roughly it causes severe split ends and
damage.
- Over
Shampooing: Shampooing your hair too often removes the natural oils that
the hair requires to be healthy.
- Using
Products with Alcohol: Yes, I know all most every product has alcohol in
it but there are some that don’t.
Alcohol is very drying and causes lots of damage.
- Mechanical
Damage: Mechanical damage is anything caused by heat such as, flat irons,
curling irons, blow dryers and brushes.
- Chemical
Damage: Chemical damage is caused by coloring your hair, getting highlights,
perms or straighteners.
