8 Ways to Kill Your Hair
Here you have it, ladies (and men with Fabio-like locks), a comprehensive list from CBSNews.com of all the ways you can damage your hair during the "beautification" process.
1. Bleaching - Bleaching changes the structure of your hair, therefore making it more prone to damage.
2. Perms - Perming breaks down the bonds of your hair and reforms it in a different way, weaking the strands and leaving them dull and damaged.
3. Highlights and coloring - Dyes can also change the inner structure of the hair, causing dullness and dryness.
4. Flat iron and blow-drying - These temporarily change the hydrogen bonds of your hair, making hair appear dull.
5. Ponytails and braids - Ponytails and braids can cause hair to break, especially when pulled tightly.
6. Over-brushing - Over-brushing your hair can cause split ends and breakage from the consistent friction.
7. Over-shampooing - Over-washing can wash away your hair's natural moisture that helps your hair look healthy, making your hair dry. Although a significant amount of research has gone into making shampoos beneficial for your hair, you can still get too much of a good thing.
8. Extensions and weaves - Extensions and weaves are a lot like ponytails and braids. Over time, they can leave hair broken and brittle. The difference is the damage is at the roots where it is harder to cut out.
