5 types of hair damage

BE PROACTIVE AND PROTECT YOUR HAIR
⬥
Most hair damage occurs outside of the salon, meaning even the most virgin hair can break from lifestyle choices or outside factors. Knowing how to identify the triggers that lead to breakage will keep your hair as healthy as possible, as prevention is always better than a cure!
Which resonated with you most?
Some types of damage are common to understand, like turning up your flat iron too high while others are bit misunderstood. Lets break a few down.
Environment
This is one type of damage no-one can escape. At some point, or several points of the day, you will go outside and your hair will become exposed. It might be the searing sun, wild wind, or the drying cold weather that cause breakage to your hair.
Pollution
Pollution is a stressor to so many things in our environment. Imagine your hair as a sponge absorbing the all the chemicals and pollution in the air, causing it to break off.
Mechanical Friction
This may sound strange, but we’re talking about hair brushes, hair ties, hair accessories, and more that cause unnecessary damage via rough pulling of the hair to detangle, putting your hair up to exercise, and your pillowcase.
At-Home Care Products
