The easiest route to healthy hair is to avoid as many of the following damaging things as possible.


Shampooing
[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] works by removing dirt and excess sebum from the[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] hair's surface. Gentle shampoos remove just what they need to. Strong shampoos, however, can take with them your hair's protective sebum, that necessary natural oil that keeps hair pliable, moisturized, and healthy. In some cases, strong shampoos also disrupt your hair's cuticle layer, roughing up those tile-like portions and allowing damage to the interior cortex.

Don't overdo it- Get into washing habits that suit your hair and you will benefit from healthy looking, naturally shiny hair.

Rough handling
Raking through damp strands with a fine-toothed comb,[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] yanking at tangles, [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] hair 20 times a day, absent mindedly tugging at locks, backcombing strands for a fuller finish - these all constitute rough handling, and they are all guaranteed ways to damages fragile tresses. Every time you handle your hair, even if you just push your fingers through it, you put [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] on its cuticle layer, causing the cuticle's tightly overlapping tiles to come unhinged; in hair-care circles, this is known as mechanical damage. Particularly aggressive treatment can even strip away a section of these tiles. When this protective armour is compromised or removed, hair splits, frays, or snaps off.



Hair accessories
Ponytail holders, hair slides, combs, clips - most of us have[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] been using these and other hairdo helpers since childhood. This is fine, as long as you don't use them more then one or three times a week. Wearing your hair day after day in the same [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.]can wear away the hair's cuticle layer and cause breakage in those locks that are contained by the accessory.

Similarly, if you're not gentle when removing them, hair accessories you can damage locks in another way. Try not to yank free any tresses that become stuck in the hinge of a clip or a hair slide or wound around a ponytail holder. Unfortunately, ripping strands out of a hair ornament's grasp can strip away a long swath of the cuticle layer.

Heat styling
Ask any dermatologist or stylist the main cause of damaged[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here to Register, Or Login in the login box above.] hair and they will probably say heat-styling. Heat causes a number of problems: it lifts those tightly fitting tiles that create cuticle layer, causing small spaces where water and other substances can enter and cause damage. Heat can also damage and remove small chips of the cuticle layer, causing a porous, hole-pocked surface that leaves hair weakened and prone to splitting, fraying, and breaking. The best way to avoid heat damage is to air-dry hair and stay away from heated curling and straightening appliances. Blow-dry only when necessary (for example, when you're going out), prepare hair with a leave-in [Only Registered Users Can See Links.
