• Overprocessing: Frequent use of chemical treatments like coloring, or relaxing can weaken hair.

• Heat Damage: Excessive use of heat styling tools (like flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers) can dry out and damage hair. So while these tools are good, they're also bad, depending on how you use it.

• Poor Hair Care Practices: Rough brushing, tight hairstyles, or using harsh hair products can contribute to breakage.

• Lack of Moisture: Insufficient hydration or not using leave-in conditioners can lead to dryness and breakage.

• Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals can weaken hair and lead to breakage.

• Dry Scalp: A dry scalp can cause flaking and dandruff.

• Seborrheic Dermatitis: A common condition that causes red, greasy patches and white or yellow flakes.

• Fungal Infection: The Malassezia yeast, which lives on the scalp, can cause dandruff when it grows excessively.

• Product Build-up: Accumulation of hair products on the scalp can lead to irritation and dandruff.

• Poor Hair Hygiene: Not washing your hair regularly or effectively can contribute to dandruff.

Addressing these issues involves improving hair care routines, ensuring proper hydration and nutrition, and using appropriate products for your hair and scalp condition.

1. Proper wash of the hair: Make sure to wash your hair whenever it is dirty with a good shampoo and conditioner.

• Proper usage of heat: using a hand dryer or stretcher is not bad, but over usage, frequent usage and wrong usage is very bad. While blow-drying or stretching the hair, your hair needs enough heat protectant and oil to prevent the hair and a dry scalp which may lead to hair breakage.

• Moisturizer: Don't fail to keep your hair moisturizer at all time to avoid breakage and danruff. Use a deep conditioner suitable for your hair before plaiting and use a hair cream or oil to maintain the scalp afterward.

• Hydrate and Nourish: Drink plenty of water and maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.

• Limit Heat Styling: Excessive use of heat styling tools can cause damage. When you do use them, apply a heat protectant spray.

• Avoid harsh brushing: Avoid brushing your hair dry, rather moisturizer it before brushing so as to avoid breakage.

• Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Styles that pull tightly on the hair can lead to breakage. Opt for loose hairstyles and avoid excessive tension on your hair. Some people will not understand this one, they'll say "ma, it is not tight on my hair". It's not until the hair is tight that it will grow your hair.

• Trim Regularly: Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.

Don't forget that your hair is a big part of your beauty, it contribute greatly to how you look. So how you manage and maintain your hair with determine how you'll look.
Practice these few steps and watch out for the turnaround in your hair growth journey. And do not stop, rather make it a part of you.
