what does damaged hair look like?

- A lack of volume
- Extreme split ends
- Rough, dry texture
- Uneven or stunted hair growth
- Excessive hair loss
What causes damaged hair?
It turns out there’s a lot of ways to damage your hair and, odds are, you’re probably doing some of them. There are four main types of damage: physical, environmental, chemical, and nutritional. We’ve broken them down to help you get back on the road to healthy hair.
physical damage
The most common type of damage is physical – we might love a ponytail, but chances are our hair doesn’t. Hair ties, using an abrasive brush, and excessive detangling can all damage your locks and lead to split ends.
environmental damage
Okay, so it’s not all our fault – environmental damage can be pretty unavoidable. Hard water, air con, central heating, wind, and sun can all affect the hair’s ability to hang on to moisture and can leave the hair dry, dull, and tangled.
chemical damage
Some of us love a colour treatment and, honestly, we’re here for it, but it’s no secret that hair dye and bleach are no friend to hair health. Colouring and stripping away the natural hair colour can leave hair brittle, dry and even lead to hair loss.
nutritional damage
If your body isn’t happy, neither is your hair. Nutritional deficiencies, stress and a whole host of other factors can affect your hair health. If you think you have a deficiency, give your doctor a call, otherwise eat your greens, drink your water, and mind your business.
