break up with hair breakage
the best way to show your hair you care? break up with breakage. according to an amika pro, “literally everything causes damage.” unfortunate, but true. things like environmental stressors, heat, chemical treatments, brushing through wet hair, and even pillowcases can cause hair breakage. who knew your hair could get damaged just by sleeping?
if you’re ready to break up with hair breakage and start over with your hair care, you have to get your facts straight; break-ups never work if you’re not sure of what’s *really* going on. so, how does damage work? our hair is made up of different types of bonds that impact the strength and elasticity of our strands. when we put our hair through stressful situations (i.e. the environmental stressors, heat, and chemical treatments we mentioned), these bonds can break.
how do you prevent that? keep reading for more on how to kure your mane.
