Causes of Hair Damage
Heat Styling
tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers can zap the moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and prone to damage.
Overprocessing
Chemical treatments, especially excessive bleaching, can strip your hair of its natural oils and weaken its structure.
Hard Water
Water with high calcium content can lead to mineral buildup on your hair, causing it to become weak and feel rough and brittle.
Stress
High stress levels can affect the health of your hair, leading to hair loss and overall damage.
Sun Exposure
Just as the sun can damage your skin, it can also damage your hair. UV rays can weaken the hair shaft, making it more susceptible to breakage and color fading.
Pollution
Environmental pollutants can accumulate on your hair, causing it to become brittle and lifeless.
Poor Nutrition
Poor dietary choices can deprive your hair of essential nutrients, leaving it weak and lifeless.

Signs of Hair Damage
Recognizing the signs of damaged hair is essential to address the issue effectively. Common indications of hair damage include:
- Breakage & Split Ends: Hair that's prone to splitting and breaking, even with minimal effort, is a clear sign of damage.
- Brittle Strands: If your hair feels dry, rough, and lacks its natural flexibility, it's likely damaged.
- Dullness: Damaged hair often loses its shine and lacks luster.
- Frizz: Frizz can be a result of damaged cuticles that can't keep moisture locked in.
