Many factors can contribute to breakage which can leave the hair dull and sometimes frizzy. Here are a few tips to follow that will help maintain the your hair-
- Stay away from ponytails. Constantly pulling your hair back with a tight elastic can stress the hair out and eventually cause it to break. If you must pull your hair back on a regular basis, try using a cloth band rather than elastic or rubber. The cloth is a bit more forgiving and wont strain the hair cuticle as much.
- Always condition. This smooths and closes the hair cuticle making it less vulnerable to breakage. When the cuticle is open moisture can escape much easier. By applying a simple conditioner (using a leave in conditioner is an added bonus) you can help save your hair. Conditioners also help fight against environmental damage as well. I.e. the sun, wind and pollutions in the air.
- If you are experiencing breakage due to a chemical service (highlights, chemical straightening or a perm) then be sure you are using the proper shampoo and conditioner. Chemicals can be very drying to the hair if not taken care of properly. Shampoo and conditioner made for chemically treated hair usually contains extra moisturizing elements that aid in the repair of the cuticle.  You can also use a leave in conditioner like Kevin Murphy’s Leave-in Luxury. Silk proteins soften frizzy, grey and dehydrated hair while Mango Butter and extract of Peruvian Bark moisturises and protects coloured hair.
- If you are an avid blow dryer or use a flat iron or curling iron on a regular basis you will want to use products that actually protect the hair from heat. I love Kevin Murphy’s Straight Defence. I apply it to damp hair and style as usual.
You too can prevent breakage!
