Lack of Moisture in Hair
The lack of moisture is a primary factor contributing to hair weakness, leaving it more susceptible to breakage. Therefore, it is essential to provide adequate care for your hair. Celebrity expert Jenny Cho emphasizes, “Hair care routines should begin with the appropriate shampoo and conditioner that deliver sufficient moisture. I recommend products containing olive oil and enhanced fish oil, as they provide essential hydration and add a significant shine to the hair.”
Using Hard Water
Another critical cause of hair weakness is washing hair with hard water, which contains chlorine and heavy metals that can cause damage. Orlando Pita, founder of Orlando Pita Play and renowned hairstylist, explains that using hard water can harm the hair’s cuticle, leading to increased porosity, resulting in weakened and falling hair. Consequently, it is advisable to use a shower filter to remove harsh minerals from the water, enhancing the hair’s strength and shine.
Frequent Use of Chemical Products and Hair Dyes
The recurrent use of chemical products and hair dyes is one of the major factors that compromise hair health. The chemicals in these products can strip hair of its integrity, making it weak and more prone to breakage and loss.
Exposure to Extreme Heat
Excessive use of heat treatments undoubtedly leads to hair damage and loss, as they are significant contributors to hair dryness and moisture depletion. Therefore, it is crucial to moderate heat application and refrain from excessive use to prevent immediate harm to the hair.
Poor Nutrition
One of the most significant reasons for hair weakness, as well as overall body weakness, is poor nutrition. An unbalanced diet lacking essential nutrients, particularly protein, can adversely affect hair health. It is vital to consume protein-rich foods such as eggs, meats, poultry, low-fat dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt), fish, legumes, and others.
