Brittle hair, also known as fragile or weak hair, refers to hair that is dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage. This condition can result from various factors, including excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, environmental stressors, and nutritional deficiencies. Brittle hair lacks moisture and elasticity, making it more susceptible to damage and split ends.
