Is My Hair Really Damaged?
If you ask most people, they can tell
you what damaged hair is! It’s no secret, folks. We all know it when
we see it! Damaged hair is simply overworked, lifeless, dull,
breakage-prone hair. When hair is healthy, its outer layer (the cuticle) lies
flat and tight. When hair is damaged, the protective layers are
lifted up and away from the hair shaft or they are missing entirely. When the
layers aren’t flat and tight, the hair becomes weak, dull and
frizzy. If your hair is breaking, uneven, splitting, dry, frazzled
and otherwise a mess—your hair is likely damaged. Other signs your hair might
be in trouble. Followings are the Common problems regarding hair cosmetology:
