• Blow dryers, flat irons. The high heat from a blow dryer can boil the water in the hair shaft leaving the hair brittle and prone to breakage.
• Certain hairstyles. A type of hair loss known as traction alopecia can occur after years of wearing hair in a style that pulls on the hair such as a ponytail, cornrows, or braids.
• Too much or vigorous grooming. Too much shampooing, combing, or brushing (100 strokes or more a day), rubbing wet hair with a towel to dry. it or combing wet hair can cause hair breakage
• Hairpins, clips, and rubber bands. These can break hair when you use them tightly.
