💇‍♀️ How to Treat Hair Shedding & Breakage at Home
Simple Tips to Strengthen and Restore Your Hair
Shedding and breakage are two of the most common hair concerns—and yes, they’re different. Shedding is a natural part of the hair growth cycle, but excessive shedding or breakage can be signs your hair needs a little more TLC. Here are a few simple, effective ways to treat and prevent both right at home:
1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Dry hair is more prone to breakage. Use a leave-in conditioner, moisturizing cream, or light oil (like argan or jojoba) a few times a week to keep your strands soft and strong.
2. Scalp Care Is Essential
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Try a gentle scalp massage with oil, or use a scalp scrub or detox treatment once a week to clear buildup and stimulate growth.
3. Use a Strengthening Treatment
Incorporate a weekly protein or strengthening treatment to help rebuild damaged hair. Be sure to follow it with a moisturizing deep conditioner to keep your hair balanced.
4. Limit Heat & Tight Styles
Excessive heat and tight ponytails or braids can lead to stress on your strands. Give your hair regular breaks from flat irons and opt for protective styles that don’t pull on the scalp.
5. Sleep on Satin
Swap your cotton pillowcase for a satin or silk pillowcase or use a satin bonnet to reduce friction while you sleep—this helps prevent tangles and breakage overnight.
6. Trim When Needed
Split ends can travel up the strand and cause more damage. Getting regular trims every 6–8 weeks helps maintain healthy ends and prevent breakage.
đź’› Be Patient & Consistent
Healing and strengthening your hair doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistency and the right care, you’ll start to notice a big difference in how your hair looks and feels.
