BREAK AWAY

Hair breakage is one of the most common hair problems that women and even men face today. It can become an annoying and embarrassing problem if not addressed early.

Limit the use of hair dryers
Ease up on the hair dryers and learn the proper ways to use one. Hair dryers make use of hot air to dry your strands. And if they are used too much, they can dehydrate and even burn your hair. First off, make sure that you use hair dryers that have the right wattage depending on your electrical outlet that can dry your hair at the least amount of time. And secondly, never put your hair next to the hot air too long. The best hair dryers should also give you a number of attachments for your styling needs.

Avoid brushing wet hair
Hair is naturally very easy to break off when it is wet. And even the slightest force, such as brushing can lead to hair breakage. What we usually recommend is to comb through the hair with your fingers or with a wide toothed comb after your bath or shower. Start brushing only after you have dried your hair thoroughly.

Trim your hair
Dryness is one of the most common reasons for hair breakage. And in a single hair strand, it is usually the tip of the hair that gets most dry. And when it does, it becomes very easy to break and split with the slightest force. Aside from that, they can look awful as well. Dry hair tips can look browned and shriveled. So the best solution to stop hair breakage is to cut the dry tips off up to a length where the condition of your hair is much better.

Ease up on the at-home chemicals
The common chemicals used in at-home hair color and in hair treatment creams can actually lead to dryness and hair breakage. So to stop hair breakage, lessen the amount of chemicals that you apply to your hair. Make your hair regimen as natural as possible. The less chemicals, the better. Do treatments at most once every 8 weeks and save the coloring process for a professional.

Supplement you hair with protein
Aside from dryness, the lack of protein can also make your hair very vulnerable to breakage. For cases like these, the best way to stop hair breakage would be to give your hair protein supplement. You can actually do the protein treatment at home since there are now plenty of protein based hair treatment creams that you can easily get a hold of. But remember, never overdo the treatment because they can lead to dryness as well. For those who do not want to do so, then you can always go to your nearest salon and have a professional perform the treatment for you.

So there you have it: simple and effective ways to stop hair breakage. Remember, if you do have this problem make sure to treat it as early as you can to prevent all that beautiful hair from going to waste.
