What Is Hair Breakage?

Both men and women of all ages can experience hair breakage. It occurs when the hair shaft becomes weak and breaks, leading to split ends and thinning. 

A common misconception about hair breakage is that it only occurs at the ends of the hair. While this is the most commonly affected area, the truth is breakage can happen anywhere along the hair shaft, from the root to the tip. 

Hair Loss Vs Hair Breakage

There is often confusion between the two as they both give the impression of a reduction in hair density. While they are two separate issues, unfortunately, some people do suffer from both. Here’s is the  clinically tested proven antidote to both problems 

 

 

What Causes Hair Breakage?

Avoid Hair Care with Peptides and Bond Building

There is quite an epidemic of hair breakage today mostly from overload of conditioning products containing peptides and bond building systems. Read carefully ingredients and avoid these repair systems. These ingredients often work within the hair’s cortex area, an area of the hair shaft, extremely fragile and professional territory only. It’s where a professional hairdresser penetrates to change the hair’s construction for permanent coloring, curling or straightening of hair. It is certainly not for daily or weekly use from a consumer at home  using shampoo and conditioner.

The Iles Formula Signature Collection has been clinically tested to STOP hair breakage from the first use.

 

  • Protein helps to strengthen hair and keep it from becoming dry and brittle. Some common food you might want to add in your diet are lean meats, fish, eggs, and nuts.
  • The role of biotin is essential for the production of hair protein and this specific nutrient can be found in legumes, beans, and mushrooms.2
  • Vitamins and minerals help keep the scalp and hair hydrated, shiny, and strong. So start including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.

 

Dryness

Most cases of hair breakage are caused by brittleness through dryness. When the scalp and hair are not properly hydrated, your hair shaft can become compromised and weak, causing it to break easily. 

To prevent dryness and brittleness, use a perfectly pH balanced shampoo and conditioner, as found in the Iles Formula Signature Collection, to optimize hydration and repair levels in the hair. 

Protect your hair from the sun, wind, and other environmental factors, as these can all contribute to dryness. Use the Iles Formula Finishing Serum and see how this protective product delivers an organic memory and spun silk suppleness to the hair. 

 

Iles Formula Tip: Remember regular trims remove split ends. Split ends may worsen hair breakage.

 

Over-Processing

Over-processing can occur when your hair is exposed to too many chemicals, such as those found in dyes, relaxers, and perms.  At the same time, frequently using heat styling tools such as curling irons and blow dryers without adequate protection can weaken your hair making it more prone to breakage.

When using these tools, be sure to use a heat protectant to minimize damage and make sure to use a conditioner and hair mask to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Try the Iles Formula Hair Mask and Iles Formula Conditioner today. 

Stress

Bet you didn’t know stress can also affect your hair growth? A significant amount of stress brings large numbers of hair follicles into a resting phase and will slow down the growth process of new and healthy hair.3 The best way to prevent hair breakage caused by stress is to manage emotions and stressors effectively by engaging in activities that help you relax, such as yoga, meditation, or simply taking a walk.

Symptoms Of Hair Breakage

Hair breakage can be difficult to detect, as the markers are often subtle. However, some telltale signs can indicate whether your hair is breaking. So look out for these symptoms:

 

Brittle, Weak Hair

Brittle, weak hair is one of the most common signs of hair breakage where your hair easily snaps off when combed, brushed or styled. 

 

Lacks Elasticity

Hair elasticity is a great indicator of the health of your hair. The hair can ‘stretch and return to its original shape and length.4

If your hair lacks elasticity, you can no longer pull it and expect it to go back to its original form. This is usually caused by a protein deficiency in the hair that maintains its strength and elasticity.

Fortunately, there are several things you can do to improve this hair situation. Consider using the:

 

Iles Formula Hair Mask – To Nourish + Strengthen 

  • For all ages + hair types
  • Color safe
  • Delivers an extra suppleness to the hair 

 

Iles Formula Conditioner – To Repair 

  • For all ages + hair types
  • Instantly repairs even the most damaged hair
  • Immediately transforms dry, straw-like hair to spun silk 

 

Split Ends

Split ends, or medically known as trichoptilosis, occur when the protective cuticle layer of the hair has been stripped away, leaving the inner cortex of the hair exposed that causes the hair to break and split.

Most of the time, split ends are caused by extreme weather conditions and over-processing from hair styling techniques, bleaching, and coloring without adequate heat protection.5

A basic solution for split ends is to keep your hair moisturized with a product like the Iles Formula Hair Mask. Regularly use to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Try your best to lessen chemical treatments and avoid excessive usage of hair dryers and irons.

 

Dryness And Dullness

When your hair is dry and brittle, it’s very challenging to style and manage, let alone comb it. 

So don’t wait for your hair to get so dry and brittle that it becomes unmanageable before you take action. To prevent this from happening, use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner to restore moisture and shine to your hair. 

The Iles Formula Shampoo cleanses the hair and immediately detangles and evens out porosity while adding root volume. Follow with the Iles Formula Conditioner to make dullness, frizz, and rough texture disappear. 

And, of course, make sure your hair stays hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses a day.

 

How To Prevent Hair Breakage Naturally

Here are some simple tips to help you prevent hair breakage:

 

Keep your hair hydrated: Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and a deep conditioning treatment once a month to help lock in moisture. Try the Iles Formula Shampoo to cleanse + detangle and follow up with the Iles Formula Conditioner to repair + instantly repair the most damaged hair. The combo of both the Iles Formula Shampoo + Conditioner stops hair breakage from first use. The shampoo starts the process to soften brittle hair and the conditioner finishes the process. Miraculous results occur in stopping breakage from the first use. 

 

Use protective styling: Try to avoid excessive heat styling, and when you do use heat, make sure to use a heat protectant product like a finishing serum. Our Iles Formula Finishing Serum provides protective styling from heated tools + UV + Color Fade + Humidity. It can even be applied to wet and dry hair!

Limit the use of heat tools: Heat styling can be damaging to your hair, so try to limit the use of tools such as blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons. See the Iles Formula Finishing Serum to prevent breakage and protect the hair from the start.

 

Regular trims: Every 6-8 weeks is the ideal time interval to get hair trims and this will keep your hair healthy and prevent split ends from forming.
