What causes african american black hair to break easily?
Q.) My nieces’ hair breaks off even while is alseep with a silk bonnet on . Her hair sheds when i use soft ties. What can i use to stop her hair from shedding so much? I’ve tried everything. Please help. A.) Hair breakage can be caused by many things. Black hair tends to break more easily because of a couple of things. One is lack of moisture. Our hair tends to be dry and must be moisturized to keep it in proper balance. The second thing is our hair is kinky and these twists and turns are points where the hair can be snagged and break off. Also, the fact that out hair shafts tend to be flat rather than round makes them a little more fragile. In addition to these things that make our hair more prone to breakage, there’s improper maintenance, improper diet, stress, hormonal changes, certain medications and other things that can lead to hair loss in general. You should consider all of these things when trying to figure out why your niece’s hair is breaking.
