Your Hair Is Still Breaking… Here's Why
Your Hair Is Still Breaking… Here’s Why
Five overlooked habits that may be causing shedding and breakage — and what to do instead.
Washing your hair too much or too little can both lead to shedding and breakage. A clean scalp supports better blood flow, removes buildup, and allows moisture to actually reach your strands. I personally wash every 4 to 5 days. Depending on your hair type, aim for at least once a week.
Constantly switching your routine can cause breakage. Every new product introduces different ingredients, and your hair doesn’t have time to adjust. Find a routine that works and stay consistent. Focus on products that match your porosity and retest your porosity every few months.
Some “protective styles” aren’t as protective as we were taught. Tight or heavy styles can stress the hairline and follicles, leading to thinning and traction-related damage over time. Pay attention to tension and weight more than just the style name.
Cotton pillowcases create friction while you sleep, which leads to more shedding and breakage. They can also be rough on your skin. Switching to a smoother fabric makes a noticeable difference.
Many viral brushes with ball-tipped bristles can cause unnecessary tension and snapping, especially on textured or fragile strands. Be gentle with your tools and pay attention to how your hair responds.
