Is Damaged Hair More Prone to Falling?

Hair loss is a concern that affects many women worldwide, often causing significant distress. One of the key contributors to hair fall is damaged hair. Understanding the relationship between hair damage and hair loss is crucial in preventing and managing this issue effectively. This blog explores the reasons why damaged hair is more prone to falling. It also offers a comprehensive guide on damaged hair care for healthier, more resilient hair.

How Damaged Hair is More Prone to Falling

Damaged hair is indeed more susceptible to falling out, and this is due to several factors:

1. Damage to the hair’s outer cuticle makes it weak and fragile. The protective layer of the hair strand is compromised, making it more vulnerable to breakage and fall.
2. Damaged hair tends to break easily. When the hair is dry, brittle, or split at the ends, it cannot withstand daily wear and tear, leading to increased hair fall.
3. Damage often extends to the scalp, affecting its health. A dry, irritated scalp can lead to weakened hair follicles, which are less capable of holding onto the hair strands, resulting in hair fall.
4. Frequent use of chemical treatments and heat styling tools can strip the hair of its natural oils and proteins. This leads to significant weakening of the hair shaft, causing it to break and fall out more easily.
5. External factors such as pollution, UV exposure, and hard water also contribute to hair damage. Over time, these elements can cause the hair to become stiff, dull, and prone to breaking and falling.
