How To Manage Hair Breakage

Dealing with hair breakage can be a frustrating experience, but with the right tips and tools, you can maintain strong, healthy hair. 

Hair breakage is a common concern for most of us, whether you're a professional stylist or someone looking to maintain their hair at home. 

Hair breakage occurs when strands snap, leading to shorter, uneven hair and a frizzy appearance. Several factors contribute to hair breakage, including:

• Heat styling: Excessive use of hairdryers, straighteners, and curling irons can weaken hair.

• Chemical treatments: Overuse of colouring, perming, and relaxing treatments can strip hair of its natural moisture.

• Mechanical damage: Rough handling, such as aggressive brushing or towel-drying, can cause physical stress to the hair. After washing your hair we recommend using an XL Luxury Hair Wrap to stop friction on the hair to prevent breakage.

• Environmental factors: Sun exposure and harsh weather conditions can degrade hair health.

Tips to Prevent Hair Breakage

• Use Gentle Tools: Switch to tools that are kind to your hair. Use a wide-toothed combs and brushes with soft bristles to gently detangle your hair. We would recommend using our Luxury Wide Tooth Comb and Luxury Paddle Brush .

• Limit Heat Styling: Try to cut back on using heat styling tools. When you do use them, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.

• Keep Hair Moisturised: Well-hydrated hair is less likely to break. Use deep conditioning treatments and leave-in conditioners to keep your hair moisturised and elastic. Look for products with natural oils and proteins to strengthen your hair.

•  Get Regular Trims: Regular trims prevent split ends from getting worse. Schedule trims every 6-8 weeks to maintain healthy ends and promote hair growth. 

• Be Careful with Chemical Treatments: Space out chemical treatments and use nourishing masks in between. Always do a strand test before trying a new chemical product to make sure it won't cause too much damage.
