3 Subtle Causes Of Hair Breakage

By
When we talk about hair breakage,  one of the things we do is to stay away from combs and heating tools. However,  there are subtle causes of hair breakage that need to be addressed.

The first is your nails. When your nails are broken, it can snag your hair casting breakage. Little snags here and there will in due time become visible damage. Trim or file the ends of your nails before washing your hair.

The second subtle cause of hair breakage is your moisturizing and seeing technique. Most often,  moisturizing and sealing in sections is key to preventing breakage. However,  care needs to be taken when sectioning the hair,  either with combs or fingers as the process itself can cause breakage. If you run your ends vigorously in the name of getting the hair to absorb products, you are creating room for broken ends.

The last one is how you sleep. If you toss and turn like me,  then,  take measures to ensure your hair is in a satin cap,  loosely twisted or bunned. When you cover with the cap,  the hair underneath can still move around and that can be a huge source of concern regarding breakage.

How do you prevent hair breakage?

How To Retain Length In 12 Weeks

This is going to be a simple breakdown of 5 things you can do each week to retain length.

Tip 1  Aim for a low manipulation style. I'm not all about extentions and low term protective styles if your hair is past shoulder length. It allows to you deal with your hair at least once week to give it better treatment. For naturals, you may not need to wash weekly but bi monthly wash will do your hair more good. 



Tip 2  Consider hair mists to keep the exposed parts of your hair moisturized. When I wear buns, the exposed hair gets drier whilst the rest of the hair stays soft. Using a hair mist will compensate for the moisture loss. 
Tip 3 Deep condition your hair. You can do the double step - protein deep conditioning, followed by moisture deep conditioning. 
Tip 4
Pay attention to the ends. Prwbent breakage at the ends of the hair. This part is fragile for the reason that it's the oldest part of the hair hence has experienced more exposure.

Tip 5 Protect your hair at night. Using bon…

Four After Braid Take Down Tips

After I took down the braid, I had to make sure the hair was in good shape after no moisture for weeks.


I used coconut oil as prepoo treatment and washed with Sheamoisture African black soap shampoo and followed up with the Superfruit conditioner.

I used Cantu sheabutter gel oil only for the hair to feel hard so I washed it out with the Cantu sheabutter Co wash.

This brought to mine how to care for  the hair after braids so you don't lose length or cause breakage.


Use coconut oil to aid with finger detangling. Using fingers and coconut oil will let the whole process go faster and with much better results. 
Don't shampoo if you've not detangled. Putting  water in your hair will cause it to tangle more. 
Use a wide tooth comb first to detangle before washing to remove shed hair too. 
Deep conditioning after washing the  hair will restore both protein  and moisture so be sure to  use at least a bit if light protein. 

These are the few tips that help me take care of my hair after…
