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.

Curious

I was reading about your results and was wondering a few things. One, how many procedures did you end up having, two? And secondly, how many actual hairs were transplanted? (Not just grafts, but hairs?)

Thank you.

  • While you may want more hair on your own head, some studies have shown that the majority of women are not concerned by male pattern baldness. We are curious what men prefer in women's hair.
