From heat styling and coloring to brushing the wrong way and more, our hair is subjected to a significant amount of stress every day. <\/em>Dr. Miguel Mascar\u00f3, founder of the Delray Beach Hair Transplant Center in Delray Beach, Florida<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>explains the main causes of hair damage\u2014and how to keep your tresses in tip-top shape.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hair thinning or loss isn\u2019t always the result of male or female pattern balding, and years of accumulated damage\u2014or one traumatic incident\u2014can cause potentially permanent damage that affects healthy hair growth. Oftentimes, habits that are part of your daily routine have unwanted side effects including breakage and scalp irritation, but proper haircare can minimize many of the most common concerns and help maintain a full head of strong, healthy hair.<\/p>\n

Avoid over-processing<\/strong>
\nA 2008 study performed by Clairol found that 75% of American women color their hair, and I\u2019m willing to bet that about the same percentage experience hair damage due to at-home and salon-based coloring. The main reason: Bleaches and most dyes contain strong chemicals that alter the hair structure. Same goes for straightening treatments, relaxers and perms, which is why it\u2019s essential to take steps to protect and reinforce processed hair. Patients with the most severe hair damage\u00a0are those who get multiple chemical treatments within two to four weeks of each other, which is why I always recommend spacing them out as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Brush your hair at the right time<\/strong>
\nBrushing the hair as soon as you step out of the shower while it\u2019s still sopping wet is a main cause of breakage and damage. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair before\u00a0<\/em>rinsing conditioner out, or wait until your hair is about 50% dry before brushing. If brushing immediately after the shower is a habit you just can\u2019t break, be sure to use a brush designed specifically for wet hair, such as the Tangle Teezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep heat-styling to a minimum<\/strong>
\nHeat-styling does more than dehydrate and damage the lengths of the hair, and overusing hot tools such as hair dryers, flat irons and curling irons can damage the actual roots as well. Prolonged exposure to intense heat energy can take a toll on the follicles, in turn affecting healthy hair growth. Allowing your hair to dry naturally and limiting the use of hot tools can help, but if blow-drying is a must, be sure to use a heat-protection product such as Unite Hair\u2019s 7SECONDS\u00a0Detangler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Limit your styling products<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s ok to use a pre-styling heat protectant designed to help you achieve your desired results and a finishing product to keep your look in place but layering on additional products may do more harm than good. First, too much product can cause build-up on the scalp that may hinder hair growth, and many styling aids (especially those billed as \u201clasting hold\u201d) often contain alcohol and other ingredients that can over-dry the hair shaft and lead to brittleness and breakage.<\/p>\n

Reconsider your hairstyle<\/strong>
\nTightly-pulled styles put tension on the hair follicles, and braids, taut ponytails and extensions can cause permanent hair loss over time. Technically called traction alopecia, once the long-term damage caused by these styles is done, the only solution for thinning or bald spots is a hair transplant. It\u2019s best to give your hair periodic breaks from these styles to prevent the damage to the follicles that can lead to permanent hair loss (or avoid them altogether).<\/p>\n

Treat your tresses (and scalp)
\n<\/strong>The good news is you can restore lost moisture and improve the look and feel of hair damage\u00a0with deep-conditioning treatments at home or in the salon. A nourishing mask like K\u00e9rastase R\u00e9sistance Masque Therapiste<\/a>\u00a0can help smooth the hair shafts to enhance softness and shine, while a scalp treatment such as IGK Low Key Cleansing Walnut Scalp Scrub<\/a>\u00a0removes impurities and product buildup while soothing and hydrating delicate skin on the scalp.<\/p>\n
