What causes your hair to get damaged?
There are many factors that cause damages to your hair. The following are examples that damages your hair:
- Dying different Hair colours too often– Colour dying introduces new chemicals to your hair each time, sometimes even strong chemicals for quicker colour results. This can weaken the hair growth and cause it to be excessively dry (lack of moisture).
- Excessive Heat – Frequent use of hair dryers can remove moisture from the hair. In addition, with the hot and humid weather in Singapore, it further increases the risk of getting your hair damaged.
- Towel Drying – Rubbing your hair too much with a bath towel can damage your hair too. It introduces friction which results in heat producing. It will increase frizz and cause breakage of your hair.
