Have you been wondering what is causing your tresses to weaken and break?

Just read the three deadly hair care sins given below to make sure you are not committing any of these guilty damaging habits against your hair:

  1. Letting your crowning glory soak up the damaging rays of the sun – it may be super fun to lounge at the beach but do you know that the UV rays of the sun are as much harm to your hair as it is for your skin? The harmful rays of the sun eat away the elasticity to weaken the cuticles of your hair. This leads to split ends, breakage, roughness and premature greying of hair. Unfortunately, hair does not have any sunscreen serums like skin. Hence the next time you go for soaking up the sun at the beach, make sure you cover your hair with a fedora hat or at least a scarf to keep your hair away from prolonged exposure to the harmful sun rays.
  2. Extreme Crash Dieting – While trying to get that desirable body like a supermodel, you are actually harming not only your health but your skin and hair as well. Extreme crash dieting might make you super thin but your body would have no other option than to channel all the food it gets to run all the vital functions. Since your hair is made of protein primarily, absence of that would weaken your hair roots leading to extensive hair fall. Hence even if you want to go into dieting, make sure you do so with the help of a good dietitian and include proteins as much as your hair needs to stay strong.
  3. Effects of Drugs – Before you pop that pill into your mouth without proper prescription stop and consider this; drugs not only affect your general health but also your skin and hair. Taking anti-anxiety drugs, anti-depressants, birth control pills and even simple painkillers frequently, that too without proper specialist supervision would ensure that you have almost no hair left on your head. Most drugs contain chemicals that would irrevocably harm the health of your hair leading to loss of hair.

Just steer clear of the above mentioned deadly sins and you would be closer to getting healthy hair, shiny hair and beautiful hair. Of course, you would also have to follow a good hair care regimen as well.
