Hair breakage is a frustrating reality for many of us. No one wants to have a bad hair day ‘everyday’. What’s interesting is it is often caused by lifestyle habits and can be managed.
Let’s explore the reasons why your hair might be breaking and what you can do to stop it.
What is hair breakage?
Hair breakage occurs when your hair snaps or fractures at any point along the hair shaft, resulting in shorter, uneven strands. Unlike hair loss, which involves shedding from the roots, breakage is usually a minor issue.
Hair breakage is caused by many factors like styling technique, tight hairstyles and using harsh products. The following are other causes:
Dryness
Dry hair, often caused by excessive heat styling, harsh weather conditions, or using hair products with toxic ingredients like parabens, sulfates, and alcohol, can lead to damage and breakage.
stress
When stress triggers your strands to break, it’s known as telogen effluvium. This condition causes hair follicles to enter a resting phase, leading to excessive hair shedding. Affected strands often fall out during everyday activities like combing, washing, or styling.
Diet
Dry hair, often caused by excessive heat styling, harsh weather conditions, or using hair products with toxic ingredients like parabens, sulfates, and alcohol, can lead to damage and breakage.
Remedies For Hair Breakage
If something is broken, it can be fixed — and that includes your hair.
Here are some ways to stop hair breakage:
Moisturize your hair regularly
If dryness is causing your hair to fall out, make sure to moisturize it often. Invest in a hydrating shampoo and a leave-in conditioner for more radiant hair. Sealing in moisture with hair oils also goes a long way. Our ROA Sea Buckthorn Hair Oil Essence does not only help keep moisture in your hair, it strengthens damaged hair and makes it appear soft and shiny.
proper styling
Avoid frequent heat styling, as it extracts moisture from your hair. If you must use heat, apply a heat protection spray.
Additionally, use the right styling combs for your hair texture, thickness, and length to minimize shedding.
Manage stress and eat a balanced diet
Chronic stress and poor diet can cause your hair to shed. Make time to unwind and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, proteins, zinc, and iron to support your hair growth. Using hair products that nourishes your hair can also give your hair health a boost! Our ROA Chojeong Amicell does exactly that and more. It contains Amicell and Collagen which offers nutrients, moisture and strength to your hair.
To manage stress efficiently, add one or more of our ginseng tea to your diet for some energy boost.
protect your hair while you sleep
A beauty sleep is incomplete without wearing a satin or silk bonnet. While it helps to keep your hair away from your face, It also keeps moisture in your hair and prevents frizzing.
conclusion
Hair breakage can be caused by various factors, but it can be fixed by making simple changes. By adopting these remedies, you can achieve healthier, stronger hair.
