Hair Products and Styling
According to a study from 2014, a shampoo’s pH or acidity may impact hair breakage. Some shampoos can negatively affect the hair because they are alkaline or basic. In addition, hair breakage may result from increased friction between the hair strands.
Whether they are hair dyes, hair sprays, or hair gels, almost all hair style products contain chemicals that might weaken the hair roots, causing hair loss but frequently using these products can cause hair breakage.
Hair specialists also recommend using hair styling products to balance the breakage caused by hair conditioning and nourishing procedures. As for hairstyling with heat appliances, using a heat protectant is also advisable to minimize possible hair breakage.
Styling products, hair colors, keratin treatments, and hair sprays also weaken the roots of the hair. However, unless they contain a lot of chemicals, shampoos and conditioners are less likely to result in hair breakage. Moreover, using hair dyes and hair styling products occasionally doesn’t cause much hair breakage, but frequent use may result in hair breakage and brittle hair.
