Different types of damage
There are many ways damaged hair can show up when we look in the mirror. Which one of these signs can you relate to most?
Split ends
Split ends are when the tips of your hair split into two or more strands. This is the oldest part of your hair. It’s been around the longest, so at some point it gets too tired and splits.
Heat damage
We love hot styling tools , but high temperatures can dry out or even crack your hair’s protective outer layer and affect its natural proteins. You might notice split ends and breaking, dryness, and difficulty brushing or styling.
Brittle hair
Brittle hair is thirsty hair. It loses its smoothness and shine, it tangles and breaks easily. This is usually a sign of heat or chemical damage.
Bleached hair
We love a bit of blonde, but bleaching can dry out hair and cause split ends, shedding, tangles, and hair loss. It also strips your hair of proteins which give it strength and volume, leaving you with dull hair.
Curly hair damage
Wavy and curly hair is naturally less oily because sebum from the scalp can’t travel down the coily hair shaft as easily. Without these nourishing oils, hair is more prone to damage. You might notice your strands are frizzy, straight, or prone to split ends .
