5 Things We Do Daily That Might Be Causing Hair Breakage

5 Things We Do Daily That Might Be Causing Hair Breakage

There are a lot of things that can cause hair breakage. And believe it or not, they all don’t involve chemicals. Several things you might find yourself doing daily and didn’t even realize might be the cause of some of it. Today I am going to share 5 things that you might be doing that could be causing hair breakage.

I can admit it, I am guilty of all 5 of these things. So, I have also learned my lesson and do my best to not do them anymore! I will admit that one surprised me when I heard it but makes sense when you think about it!

Wearing Rings While Washing Your Hair May Be Causing Hair Breakage

This is the one that surprised me but made so much sense! I started to pay attention after I heard it and yes, my rings were breaking off some of my hair. I know some people take off all their rings at night, but I keep mine on all the time except when I put on lotion. It took some time to get used to taking them off before getting in the shower. So next time you get in the shower to wash your hair pay attention to see if you notice any hair getting caught in your rings.

Are Your Hair Ties Causing Hair Breakage

The type of hair ties you use matter! These good ole hair ties that we are used to are known for causing hair breakage. And please do not use hair ties with metal claps on them, they will catch your hair and pull and break it.

The best type of hair ties are ties wrapped with satin scrunchies, scrunchies, or hair coils. And the most important thing to remember is to not wrap your hair too tight with any hair tie because that will cause hair breakage.

The Way You Comb Your Wet Hair Matters

Wet hair is fragile and elastic. It will stretch, snap, and break if you do not treat it nice. I like to recommend using a detangler spray along with using a wet brush or wide-tooth comb. Always start combing or brushing from the bottom and work your way up.

I also recommend that you brush your hair prior to going to bed at night and before washing your hair. This will help cut down on the tangles and breakage.

Friction Can Lead to Damage

Believe it or not the little things make a difference to your hair. Friction or rubbing roughly on your hair can cause breakage not to mention frizz! Two common ways to cut down on this are to use a silk pillowcase and a microfiber towel.  

Microfiber Hair Towel

Using a microfiber towel after washing your hair will help to soak up the excess water so you don’t feel the need to rub your hair. Try your best not to “towel dry” your hair by rubbing your hair, that friction can cause hair breakage. A microfiber towel is a great alternative.

A silk pillowcase is not only good for your hair but your skin also! This will help your hair from getting tangled and cut back the friction while you are sleeping. Not only will it help with breakage but will help cut back on frizz.

Heat is a Leading Cause of Hair Breakage

Using your hot tools at too high of heat is a sure-fire way of causing hair breakage. I did a blog post a while back; How Hot is too Hot When Using Hot Tools. You can check it out here. There are some great tips and guidelines on what is best for your type of hair.

It is always best to use the lowest amount of heat that will allow you to achieve your goal with your hot tools. And always use a heat protectant on your hair! We spend way too much money on our hair not to protect it! If you need help with what products would work best for you I would love to help you. Click here to get started.


There are lots of things that can cause hair breakage, but these are some that you might not even realize may be a problem. Do you have any that you have experienced that you can share with us? If you do, please share them below in the comments.

Summer in the South can be harsh if you aren’t prepared for it. In some parts of the country they boast about 120 degrees being a “dry heat” and that makes me giggle because at that point hot is just plan hot! 🥵 In the South we have humidity, there isn’t anything dry about it here! 🤣

“𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚” say that all the prettiest things come out of dirt & dust right? So I am betting our house is going to look amazing 🥺 right?!

Yes, I am wearing slippers because currently nearly our entire house looks like this. I hate wearing shoes in the house so this is the next best thing! If you know me at all you know I am trying not to lose my mind. 
•
Also I know that the 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 of this entire thing is not lost on me either. If you are going to have a struggle this is a good one to have. 😇 This is definitely not where we thought we would be just a few months ago.

I cannot wait for the dust to clear and take off my slippers ❤️

We are creatures of habit, every Friday is pizza night for us. We have been on the search for our new favorite local pizza restaurant. I think we found it! 🍕

Do you have a tradition that you like to do every weekend? Or are you not as boring as us?! 😂

When most people think about sun protection they focus on their skin and forget about their scalp & hair. I don’t know about you but I spend a lot of money on getting highlights done so I want to protect it.

No one is YOU and that is your power. With so much sadness and meanness in the world be the blessing. People are either one or the other.

We finally took a break from the boxes and unpacking over the weekend and took some time to celebrate Derek’s birthday 🎂

We have had more than a few bumps in the road lately but we are learning to to have patience and trust that we will end up when & where we need to be at the perfect time. 🤍

Do you have a vacation planned to go to the beach this summer? Did you know there are unwritten rules for when you go to the beach?! Lol! Most will make sense but a few might be new for you. Like why you should always fill the holes you dig back in. 🏖
