Prevent Hair Breakage with tips from Monaco Salon in Tampa

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.

Moisturize frequently. Adequately conditioning your hair with each washing will actually fight the effects of breakage. And by 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.

Skip the Blowdry & Hot Tools.  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. We have different treatments that are very effective for helping to reduce hair damage and breakage.
