4 Ways Chemical Treatments Damage Your Hair
No one likes to have the same hairstyle forever. We either keep changing our hairstyles as we age or when we get bored. Fashion too has a major role to play in how we style our hair. Even when we have the perfect hair and the style, some of us would love to experiment and end up doing things to our hair that are not always good for it. We normally ad chemicals to our hair in the form of shampoo and conditioner and on top of it we style it. Styling is okay as long as you do not add too much chemicals to your hair. But that is exactly what happens. When you change your hair color, you add bleach and other colors that are not natural, when you perm or straighten your hair; you still are using a lot of chemicals that cause untold damage to your hair. Here are some ways in which chemical treatments can damage your hair.
1. Bleaching
When you bleach your hair to give it a lighter shade, the chemicals in the bleach enter your cuticles and damage your natural pigments. When you blow dry it and try to set it further, you just end up making it weak, dull and dry. The weakened hair is susceptible to a lot of breakage and can also fall easily.
2. Perming and straightening
To perm or straighten your curly hair you add an obscene amount of chemicals to your hair. The chemicals have to be so strong that they are capable of penetrating your hair and rearranging the bond to make them look different. To make it stay that way, you need to further ad serum and shampoo every day, which means you are subjecting your hair to more chemicals. This is the worst damage you can do to your hair and the only way to really get it back to the original form is to cut it short and let your hair grow out again.
