Hormonal changes in the body

While hormones change due to pregnancy, birth control pills or menopause, these changes can lead to changes in the quantity and quality of hair growth.

the external factors

Even external factors like the weather can negatively impact your hair. During the summer months, you may have to spend more time in extreme heat, in the sun or at the pool. Each of these substances can be unduly damaging to your hair, thereby aggravating the already difficult condition of weak hair caused by aging.

In winter, you may spend more time indoors with the heater running. Your cozy space heater can pull moisture out of the air as it heats up. This can potentially promote dry hair and lead to weak, brittle strands.

Improper hair care routine is another big culprit for weak hair. Things like heat styling tools can cause serious damage, causing your hair to dry out or even break. Frequent visits to the salon or even certain services can cause hair to break easily.

Hair bleach

Bleach can dry your hair very quickly and lead to tangles due to loss of pigment. When bleaching your hair, the hair cuticles can be exposed if the hair is not deeply conditioned properly. Open cuticles mean it takes longer to detangle.

Choosing the wrong shampoo and conditioner/conditioner

Even using the wrong shampoo and conditioner can cause unwanted hair breakage and split ends. Shampoo and conditioner are not one-size-fits-all as many people expect. There are shampoos and conditioners designed for certain people and certain problems.

How do I know if my hair is brittle?
