Recovering hair!


Here we are in Fall! Summer has come and gone and winter is on its way! So what does this have to do with your hair? DAMAGE! Weather is hard on the hair. Along with most everything we do to our hair, like drying it, styling it, and touching it. And Don't forget how bad Coloring and perming is on your hair also!!


This picture is a healthy hair shaft magnified 1000 times. The cuticle lies flat around the hair shaft and is considered "healthy"The scales of the hair start protruding as a result of it being continually washed, dried, permed or colored. You can see this happening with hair that is difficult to comb through, tangling after a shampoo. Hair stylists often refer to hair in this condition as "porous" The surface of the hair is not smooth anymore; it has become uneven and rough.


This is what "porous" hair looks like under the microscope. Hair is considered "damaged" when the cuticles start to lift up. However in this state your hair is still healthy enough. There are different degrees that the cuticle can protrude. When the cuticle has deteriorated to the extent that it exposes part of the inside of the hair, the hair loses some of its protein (amorphous protein). Hair in this condition is truly damaged. In this state hair can and will break off on some parts of the head. It is not falling out. It is breaking off. The cause is usually bleaching and coloring your hair every four weeks to achieve platinum blond hair colors. Truly damaged hair will have lost its elasticity and bounce and it won't bend, won't hold a style because it has lost too much of its protein. It is the protein which gives hair its elasticity and bounce.




Very damaged hair
Note how the protein strands are exposed.
