Hair structure disorders
Repeated damage to hair causes the hair shaft to split and break. Extreme situations will eventually lead to thin, sparse hair and finally to hair thinning, which is often confused with pathological hair loss.
The reasons for structural hair damage are varied. External factors, such as the following, are usually involved:
mechanical factors | intensive combing, extreme brushing, backcombing |
chemical factors | dyeing, bleaching, perming, frequent washing with alkaline shampoos |
physical factors | excessive effects of heat caused by hairdryers or curling tongs, |
nutritional factors | deficiency of proteins, amino acids, vitamins and calories |
No matter how strong our hair is, it is still subjected to many harmful factors that we often have no control over. But we can actively counteract these to protect our hair from inside, to care for and retain it.
