Prevent Hair Breakage: Tips from Monaco Salon in Tampa

What Causes Hair Breakage?

It's bad enough that we naturally shed up to 100 strands of hair each day. Hair shedding is normal and part of our natural processes, but breakage is essentially caused by dryness. Hair can be naturally dry, become drier as we age, or we can dry it out with our daily activities. Sun exposure, heat styling and chemical treatments can all dry out the hair and lead to breakage. Unless we put moisture back in, our hair will look dull, develop split ends, and will break easily.

Boost Moisture at Home to Prevent Hair Breakage

Adequately conditioning your hair with each washing will actually fight the effects of breakage. Applying a deep conditioner at least twice a week in the shower will further moisturize your hair. Before styling, use an anti-frizz serum and a wide tooth comb to gently detangle and avoid hair breakage.

Let your hair dry naturally and spare your tresses from high heat. If a blow-dry is a must, let hair air dry until slightly damp, which will cut down on the time under the dryer. Avoid using a curling iron or flat iron every day of the week — too much heat styling can zap hair of moisture. When you use the hot tools, spritz on a heat protecting spray first.

Help Reduce Breakage with a Salon Treatment

Next time you're at the salon, ask for a moisture boost while you're in the sink. Monaco Salon offers different treatments that are very effective for helping to reduce hair damage and breakage. A deep conditioning treatment or bond-building service can make a significant difference in the strength and resilience of your hair.

What is the best way to prevent hair breakage?

The most effective way to prevent hair breakage is to keep your hair well-moisturized. Use a moisturizing conditioner every wash, apply a deep conditioner at least twice a week, minimize heat styling, and always use heat protectant when you do use hot tools.
