Hair breakage differs from shedding at the roots. Hair can be damaged by heat, pulling, and frequent chemical treatments.
Where to start?
Reduce heat, comb gently, and discuss the frequency of chemical treatments with your hairdresser.
When to see a specialist?
If changes in habits don’t help or hair thins, see a dermatologist.
