Dry & Damaged Hair Explained

Dry & Damaged Hair Explained

Dry, damaged hair can be brittle and appear dull and lifeless. Hair becomes damaged in a number of ways including exposure to the sun, heat from blow dryers and chemicals like hair coloring. Even simple combing and brushing can damage hair. Normally, the cells in each strand of hair overlap and lay flat like scales on a fish. When hair is damaged, these "scales" are lifted, leaving the inner layers of the hair exposed. Damage to this layer can lead to breakage, frizzies, split ends and dull appearance. Damaged hair can also develop tiny pores or openings, which can make hair feel dry and brittle.
