What is a common cause of hair breakage?

A common cause of hair breakage is over-styling and lack of moisture. When hair is styled excessively—whether through heat styling, tight hairstyles, or frequent use of chemical treatments—it can become weakened and prone to breakage. Heat can strip the hair of its natural moisture, leading to dryness and brittleness. Additionally, lack of moisture from environmental factors or inadequate conditioning can further compromise the hair’s strength, making it susceptible to breaking. Therefore, maintaining proper hydration and limiting damaging styling practices is critical for hair health and minimizing breakage.
