My Oh My Breakage- Products such as hair dyes and perms are one of the major reasons why most women suffer from hair breakage. Before using any chemical always make sure to read the directions, if the product is used improperly, left on your hair for to long, or use back to back it can severely weaken the bonds of the strands of your hair causing breakage. Another sure fire way to cause major breakage stems from styling tools such as blow dryers, curling irons, or flat irons. To much heat can make hair dry and brittle, that’s why it is so important not to rely on heat so much. Instead of frying your hair to death try using protective styles or low maintenance styles that don’t require heat at all like cute buns or braids that create beach waves. If you do choose to use heat please make sure to always use a heat protectant spray or serum that protects your hair from drying out when exposing it to any heat appliances. A great heat protectant product will create a protective barrier around each strand of your hair to prevent heat damage and promote less breakage. #hairfinity #hair #longhair #vitamins #hairbreakage #naturalhair #haircare #style #beauty (Taken with Instagram)
