Having a bad day because of your dry and damaged hair? Maybe you should be aware of some reasons why you hair is prone to damage and breakage.
1. Combing or brushing while wet
Did you know that brushing or combing your hair while wet may cause hair breakage? When hair is wet, it’s more elastic and more prone to damage. Hair is in its weakest when wet.
2. Towel Drying
Again, wet hair is more prone to damage than dry hair. So, be careful when drying your hair especially when using your towel to rub it. Waiting it to dry is recommended.
3. Hair Products
Using many hair products will also cause to damage your hair. Lots of hair products these days contain harsh chemicals that can affect your hair.
4. Pollution
The polluted air or smokes can dry out your hair.
5. Heated Tools
Using hair dryer, curly irons, flat irons can also dry out your hair. It can make your hair look great but it can also lead to a dull hair.
6. Rubber Bands
Using rubber bands grab your hair and it may cause hair loss and split ends.
I’m happy to remind you about these things. I hope these really help you.

I can't avoid some like pollution and combing my hair while it's wet. I'm a student and I have to live the house after taking a bath, also air pollution is everywhere especially when riding the jeepney. But I try to avoid heated tools and rubber bands, my hair is fine. I'm using natural shampoo like or sometimes I only use conditioners because shampoo can dry your hair.

The Lack of vitamins and minerals is also one of the main reasons of hair damage.
