Brittle hair

Brittle hair is hair that is dry, dull, and prone to breakage. It is usually caused by a lack of moisture resulting from overexposure to heat, harsh chemicals, or environmental factors like cold weather or excessive sun exposure. Other causes may include poor nutrition, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions. Treatment may include using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, avoiding heat-styling tools, and incorporating more protein and healthy fats into the diet. In severe cases, a healthcare provider may recommend medical treatments like hormone therapy or scalp treatments.
