Everyone wants healthy hair and by understanding the structural and functional aspects of hair will help you avoid doing any wrong practices that will inflict damage.
First of all hair is made of protein and keratin. Keeping to a good protein diet,exercise and avoiding harsh products,over blow drying, straightening and curly tongs will assure good hair condition.
The best and immediate way to deal with damaged hair is to cut it off and wait for new growth. That does not mean to cut your hair totally short,you can still keep it long but have layers to rid the damaged ends.
Excessive hair care and bad diet is the cause of hair defects. I suggest to minimize the use of styling treatment andharsh chemicals, especially alcohol based. Improper use of tints, bleach hair dryers, ghd, round brushes and curling tongs all damage the hair fibrewhich results in frayed ends and splits along the hair shaft. You will notice kinks, dryness and breakage which in time developes into traction alopecia.
