    Did you mean Broken Hair?
    Glossary Broken Hair

    Broken hair refers to strands of hair that have become damaged and fractured, often resulting in uneven lengths and a frizzy appearance. This condition can be caused by various factors, including excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, environmental stressors, and mechanical damage from brushing or tying hair too tightly. While broken hair is not a direct cause of hair loss, it can contribute to the overall appearance of thinning hair and may exacerbate the psychological effects of hair loss. Key distinguishing characteristics include split ends, rough texture, and a lack of shine.
