Why is hair damaged?
Keratin, which is the most important protein found in the composition of the hair (representing about 90%) is considered its backbone. This is why in healthy hair, the keratin structure is strong and well bonded, while in damaged hair, it shows all kinds of irregularities.
You should know that there are certain actions on your hair that, in the long run, can wreak havoc on it. Let's see the most common:
Not taking care of the hair as it deserves or properly. Haste and stress are not good, since hair requires certain periodic care that we often forget: nourishing masks, hair scrubs, daily brushing, etc.
Wash it with water that is too hot or more often than you need. In this sense, using Batiste's dry shampoo will allow you to extend the washes for even 2 or 3 days. Test it! And if you don't know where to start, check out the ultimate guide to using dry shampoo.
Regularly apply heat sources to the hair. The dryer at maximum temperature and without leaving a certain distance, the hair straightener or curling iron... they are great enemies of hair health if you abuse them or if you do not protect your hair with protective sprays.
Constantly bleach it. Yes, we know that the rainbow hairstyle is super trendy and flatters you, but don't overdo bleaching because you're going to burn your hair, brunette. After bleaching, let your hair rest for a while.
Using dyes (highlights, reflections, lights, color baths) with too aggressive chemical ingredients. Look for products to dye your hair that are gentle and can cover it well in color without damaging it: they exist!
Abuse of hair treatments that modify its structure: straightening, progressive straightening, keratins, perms, etc.
