What Causes Brittle Curls?
- Moisture Imbalance: Curly hair is already prone to dryness, and when it doesn't receive the hydration it needs, it can quickly become brittle. With the lack of moisturization and hydration, curls lose their definition and are more vulnerable to breakage.
- Environmental Factors: It's always been said that you can't control the weather, and that happens to be the case when protecting your curls. Sun exposure, cold weather, wind, and rapid changes in temperature are all environmental factors that can lead to brittle hair over time.
- Overuse of Heat Styling Tools: Heat tools such as flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers tend to strip hair of its natural oils, which overall weakens its structure. Using heat tools daily or excessively can cause dryness, which then turns into brittleness.
- Harsh Hair Care Products: The overuse of harsh hair care products can actually cause more harm than good. They tend to cause build-up, irritation, and sensitivity, and they also include drying ingredients.
