What To Do If You’re Experiencing Hair Breakage

Hair on your pillow. Snaps in the shower. Breakage that seems to come out of nowhere.

If you’ve noticed short, broken pieces or excessive shedding, you’re not alone. Hair breakage is one of the top reasons clients visit Hello Texture — and the truth is, breakage isn’t just about dryness. It’s a warning sign.

Here’s how to spot it, stop it, and start your recovery plan.

 First, What Does Breakage Look Like?

• Short, uneven pieces around your edges or throughout your hair

• Snapping when you detangle or touch your hair

• Split or thin ends that tangle easily

• Hair that feels weak, gummy, or overly soft

• Less volume over time, especially after styling

 Common Causes of Breakage

1. Protein Imbalance
   Too much or too little protein makes hair fragile. You need the right moisture–protein balance for elasticity and strength.

2. Chemical Overload
   Relaxers, color, bleach, or keratin done too close together or without recovery time will weaken the cortex.

3. Excessive Heat
   Frequent flat ironing, blow drying without heat protectant, or heat tools with poor temperature control damage the cuticle and cortex.

4. Protective Style Tension
   Styles that are too tight or left in too long can cause mechanical breakage and damage to the follicle.

5. Neglect or Over-Manipulation
   Inconsistent trims, skipping deep treatments, or constant combing can cause ends to fray and snap.

 How Hello Texture Treats Breakage

We always start with a consultation and strand/scalp analysis — because breakage has different causes for different textures and routines.

 1. Protein Bond Reconstructor

Targets internal breakage by repairing weakened keratin bonds and increasing hair strength from within.

 2. Deep Moisture Infusion

Once bonds are rebuilt, we follow with hydrating masks to restore softness, elasticity, and bounce.

 3. Trim or Shape (if needed)

We’ll recommend strategic trims to remove split or frayed ends — not just cut for length, but for long-term health.

 4. Recovery Plan + Home Routine

We’ll guide you on what to stop, what to start, and how to rebuild slowly — especially if you’re used to frequent styling or heat.

Products We May Recommend

• Sulfate-free cleanser (to avoid stripping)

• Lightweight protein treatments (for home use between salon visits)

• Water-based leave-ins

• Steam-friendly deep conditioners

• Silk or satin accessories to reduce friction

 Our Philosophy

Breakage isn’t always about doing too much — sometimes it’s about not knowing what your hair needs. At Hello Texture, we rebuild hair from the inside out and help you understand how to keep it strong for the long run.
