53 Hair Damage

Damage occurs when relaxing treatments are performed repeatedly without sufficient time between treatments . Damage can also occur if the formula is too harsh or if too much time is allowed for processing . Damaged hair may appear dry , frizzy and dull . Chemical damage also makes hair more susceptible to further damage from the environment , sun , thermal styling tools and styling products .

Breakage and Hair Loss

Once hair becomes overly damaged , it breaks and falls out . If you suffer breakage , postpone all chemical processes until your hair is healthy again . The most common sign of breakage is an overall thinning of the hair . However , some people experience a receding hairline as a result of extreme breakage at the front of the hairline . Although rare , some people even experience heavy , localized loss , resulting in bald spots .
