1. Hot showers
Hot showers strip your scalp of its natural oils, which leads to dryness and flaking. Cold showers are the best solution.
2. Chemicals
Chemicals from dyes, perms, and other hair treatments affect your hair follicles, disrupt hair growth, and can also lead to hair loss.
3. Styling products
Prolonged use of straighteners, hair dryers, and curlers alters hair texture, making it dry and prone to breakage.
4. Washing hair with salt water
Salt water damages the hair cuticle, irritates the scalp, and causes tangles. Avoid chlorinated pool water.
