Dry,messy hair....it is one of the worst hair problem . Majority run for a short hair cut to get rid of that frizzy dry hair ends or use hair conditioners available in market to fix the problem. But most of them are less effective as they give temporary shine and softness,lasting for few hours. These chemical laden hair conditioners can contain silicon and other mineral contents and its regular use can damage your hair.
There are several reasons behind hair dryness. some of them are
- Exposure to environmental pollution
- Frequent hair wash
- Harsh chemicals in hair styling products
- Excessive use of hair styling products
- inadequate nutrition
- using hair care product which is opposite to your hair texture.
Here is how your hair styling products damage your hair
Your hair is made up of several layers. The outer layer cuticle - the defensive layer. Cuticle protect the inner layers from exposure thus preventing damage to hair.The second layer is the cortex. The cuticle as well as cortex has much to do with your hair texture.Cuticle provides protection and flexibility to your hair while cortex provides strength and colour(melanin) to your hair. The colour change of your hair takes place in cortex. The cortex consists of spirally bonded polypeptide chains.These bonds able your hair strands stretch ,allowing you to design your hair into desired styles. These bonds shape your hair texture to straight, curly or wavy.You need to break that bonds if you want to change your hair style and color permanently. When you break more than 30% to 40 % of these bonds , the cells in cortex get damaged and your hair loses its original texture. The result is severe hair damage.
Harsh chemicals in hair styling products first damage the cuticle thus exposing the cortex to environmental pollution and other chemicals in daily hair care products. Gradually your hair loses its natural texture.
