What Damages Curly Hair

There are many things that can cause curly hair to become damaged, and you’ll want to avoid them, if possible. Let’s take a look at some common causes of dry, damaged curly hair.

Heat tools, like straighteners, curling irons and blow dryers, work fast to help you achieve the versatile styles that make curly hair so fun. However, they can also dry out hair and cause it to become brittle or damaged, leading to breakage and curl pattern disruption. Heat Protection products should be used before exposing hair to high heat to keep hair from drying out.

Ingredients and Product Buildup

Not only is curly hair prone to absorbing moisture, but it can just as easily lose moisture... it is a balancing act to add the right amount of product in the right places. Using too many products to on curly hair can lead to product buildup, which can make curly hair to become flat, dry and dirty. Using a sulfate free shampoo is a great way to remove build up without stripping away essential moisture from hair.
