1. What is a brittle hair?

Brittle hair is a common problem for many people, but it is possible to prevent and treat it by understanding the underlying causes and adopting appropriate hair care practices.

A brittle hair is a hair that is dry, fragile, and breaks easily. It may feel rough and coarse to the touch and can break at any moment, even when handled gently. Brittle hair can also be associated with split ends and frizz. This breakage is due to weakened hair, synonymous with worn keratin.

2. What are the main causes and how can they be prevented?

Brittle hair is a common hair problem that can affect many people. Some hair types are naturally more sensitive and fragile than others. It is therefore essential to take even more care of it regularly to repair the damage caused by various external factors

One of the main culprits is excessive exposure to harsh chemicals, such as hair dyes, perms, and relaxers. These products can remove the natural oils from the hair, leaving it dry, fragile, and brittle. 

Moreover, frequent use of heating devices such as straighteners, curling irons, and hair dryers can also cause hair breakage, as excessive heat weakens the hair structure.

Repeated mechanical actions will also eventually sensitize the hair. Daily shampoos, blow-drying, straightening, as well as too frequent coloring will promote hair dryness, split ends, and thus make the hair very dry and brittle.

Its factors include notably stress, lack of sleep or water, smoking, and a poor diet.

Nutritional deficiencies are also among the causes of damaged hair. Indeed, for our hair to be healthy, it needs vitamin B, zinc, and sulfur.
