5 Things you need to know when your hair is breaking

When your hair breaks it signifies that your strand is deteriorating either at the ends or along the length to the point which is offered by the Julia hair official online store that it cannot keep itself together.

If you have split ends, your hair will typically be naturally thinner and weaker because the strand is literally split in half. If your hair is dry or brittle it will not have the elasticity it needs to hold on to itself which leads to hair fall. Once you have noticed that your hair is breaking based on any of these scenarios it is time to move into swift action to correct the issue.

1. Trim

Getting a trim ensures that you remove all split ends, all weak and brittle ends and all dry ends. Your hair will tangle less and it will be easier for you to care for your hair with a good trim.

Trimming might not eliminate all the breakage you experience though because when we trim we typically focus on the bottom half of the hair and breakage can occur further up the strand as well.Trimming is however a great start.

2. Protein

Protein use has got to be one of my favorite things to write about because I benefit so much from using it often. Protein is the building block of the hair strand, it is what hair is made of.

Protein strengthens the virgin human hair making it less weak and prone to breakage. Protein can single handedly correct mid shaft breakage issues because it binds itself to the entire strand.

3. Moisture

Moisture does not necessarily fix breakage by itself but when you deep condition your hair with the intention of adding moisture to your strands you give your hair the elasticity it needs to stay put and not fall.

When you deep condition, use heat so that your virgin hair bundles with closure can experience maximum hydration. Additionally do not forget the leave in conditioner that adds moisture to your hair as you go about your day.

4. Avoid chemicals and heat

If your hair is breaking the last thing you need is anything that would further degenerate the strand. That includes flat irons, relaxers or color. All of these things strip or remove vital areas of the hair strand that it needs to remain in tact. When you relax your hair and notice that your hair is breaking incessantly regardless of what you do, you are more than likely a victim of over processing.

5. Protective styles

If you have trimmed, amped up your protein and moisture regimen and you have put away all harsh chemicals and heat tools, it is time to protect your hair.Preventing hair fall can be as simple as keeping your hair tucked away, covering it up at night to maintain moisture or just plain leaving it alone.
