We all try to tame our hair... but sometimes we mistreat it without meaning to.
❌ Heat: an invisible enemy
Straighteners, hair dryers, curling irons... Used too often (or without protection), they weaken the hair fiber , making it drier, brittle, and dull.
-
The hair scales open
-
Hydration evaporates
-
The ends split
👉 Result: hair that no longer grows, which breaks before even reaching the desired length.
❌ Hairstyles that are too tight: pulling = breakage
Ultra-tight braids, pulled-back ponytails, and buns secured with elastics: these hairstyles create constant traction on the roots. Over time, this can lead to:
-
Breaks in the temples
-
Localized hair loss
-
An irritated or painful scalp
✅ The good news? You can protect your hair
-
Limit heat : opt for air drying, use a heat protector, space out straightening sessions.
-
Favor loose hairstyles : loose buns, light braids, ties with soft elastics (or silk scrunchies).
-
Wear a Hellosilk silk cap at night : to reduce breakage, limit friction and maintain hair's natural moisture.
Your hair needs care, not tension.
Adopt gentle gestures, and let Hellosilk protect them while you sleep.
