Illnesses and Hair Breakag
Post operative stress, medicinal side effects, and various treatment procedures also lead to hair breakage. In such cases, once you stop the particular medical treatment or are cured from an ailment, the hair breakage will stop.
Excessive Heat
When you blow dry your hair, you are exposing your hair to heat. You must take care in this regard as excessive heat will make your hair brittle and prone to breakage. The application of excessive heat results in the permanent damage to hair follicles, which leads to hair breakage
Excessive Combing or Brushing
Some people are obsessed with their hair. If you are one of those, then get out of the habit quickly. Do not brush or comb your hair all the time. We use a brush or comb to style our hair and many a times, this style would be a direct contradiction to the direction of hair growth. Thus combing or brushing puts pressure on the roots of the hair, resulting in breakage of hair.
Also the force used to comb or brush your hair is not constant and sometimes you are not gentle with your hair. The result is hair breakage.
Hair Perms and Breakage
Permanent curls or Perms are one of the most common causes of hair breakage in a large number of people. If the hair isn’t in good condition, when the perm is given, then even more hair is liable to break.
You must always get a perm from a well-trained person otherwise an untrained procedure will leave you with a less amount of hair, as compared to when you started. The solution that is used in a hair perm is the chief culprit when it comes to hair breakage as at times it is kept in the hair for too long a time and at other times, the solution is much too strong.
Hair Dye
Another reason for hair breakage is the constant use of hair dye. Hair dye is after all made up of potent chemicals, which are not good for your hair. One of the severest after-effects of using hair dye is hair breakage. This is because an excessive drying of hair strands takes place, which results in a condition known as split-ends. Ultimately, this results in hair breakage and hair loss.
