Top 3 Causes of Damage to Hair

Physical- Vigorous combing and brushing can tear the hair, especially when the hair is wet.

Heat- Can rough up the outer layer of the hair and evaporate the natural moisture. A clogged filter on the back of your blow dryer can cause over-heating and singe your hair.

Weather- UV rays break down protein bonds when exposed to summer sun. If you are outside with wet hair in the winter then comb or brush your hair, the hair can snap.


HOW TO PROTECT/REPAIR YOUR HAIR FROM DAMAGE:

Physical- Use a detangler and start at the ends and slowly work your way up when combing wet hair. Avoid brushing until your hair is about 70% dry.

Heat- Use a heat protector on the hair prior to blow drying and flat ironing. Clean your blow dryer's filter on a regular basis.

Weather- Wear a hat when you are going to be in the sun for a long period of time and use style products with UV filters. Dry your hair at least 70% before going out in cold temperatures.
