Tips to prevent hair breakageر

Here are the most important tips for treating and preventing hair breakage:

  • cut the ends of the hair; Schedule every six to eight weeks to remove split and broken ends. If you currently have a lot of split ends, you may need a few inches cut off your hair, but after that, your stylist will likely be able to remove the split ends by cutting just an inch.
  • Use nourishing shampoo and conditioner; You can improve damaged hair with products that are specially formulated for dry and brittle hair, providing additional moisture and protection. Ask your stylist for shampoo and conditioner suggestions, or try moisturizing products from your local drugstore.
  • protect your hair from environmental damage; By keeping it protected from heat, sun, wind and cold. Cover your head when you go out in inclement weather. Use a spray conditioner for added protection if you'll be outdoors for extended periods of time.
  • Eat nutritious foods that improve hair health; Foods with antioxidants help combat the harmful effects of the environment, pollution, and aging, so stock up on vitamin-rich foods like berries, oranges, avocados, and leafy greens. Also, be sure to eat enough protein, as it is the main component of hair.
  • Avoid heat styling and chemical treatment; They cause split ends and damaged hair. Don't use curling irons, flat irons and hair dryers if you don't have to, and if you do, be sure to spray in a leave-in conditioner before you style your hair to protect it. Stay away from hair dyes and bleaches, as they cause damage, breakage, and dryness.
  • Don't brush your hair when it's wet; This causes damage and split ends. Instead, use a comb on your hair when it's damp.
  • If you practice the above tips and still have dry or brittle hair or hair loss, see a doctor to check if you have a health condition such as hypothyroidism.
