Brittleness and uneven construction of the hair shaft leading to breakage and an appearance of thinness to the hair can be caused by the same factors, or by harsh chemicals used to bleach, colour, straighten or curl the hair during styling; any of which can have a detrimental effect on the texture and integrity of the body of your hair.

Chemical and mechanical injuries to the hair or scalp can produce a number of different effects. The effects may be divided into two broad categories; abnormalities of existing hairs or abnormalities of hair production. Sometimes abnormalities may involve both of these categories.

Typical chemicals intentionally used to alter hair include bleaches, dyes, relaxers, and agents used for permanents. Almost any type of chemicals used to alter hair will cause some degree of damage but most cosmetic products if used in moderation will produce minimal unwanted side effects.
