1 Hair Damage by Permanent straight - Permanent hair straightening treatments are those that keep your hair looking straight even after a few washes. This is achieved by breaking down the proteins in your hair and then restructure them to form a new shape. Permanent hair straightening treatments do more than just make your hair straight for a wash or two - they actually change the structure of your hair at a cellular level. The chemicals used in the process penetrate the protective layer of your hair and alter it structurally, making it dry, weak, and brittle. This can lead to breakage and damage.

2 Hair Damage by Bleaches - Human hair is bleached in order to lighten it through a process of oxidation which removes the pigment from the hair shaft. It is impossible to lighten your hair without using a bleaching agent. As a result of bleaching, the outer cuticle of your hair will be lifted. The most commonly used bleaching agents are hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Bleach harms the various bonds and amino acid structures within the hair, making it more brittle and prone to damage.

3 Hair Damage by Straightener - A straightening iron works by pulling all the moisture out of your hair to straighten it and secure the style in place. Have you ever noticed steam rising out of your hair when you are straightening it? Well, that's not smoke; it's actually steam. And the only way that the moisture from your hair can escape is by evaporating and turning it into steam. Exposure of hair to heat can make it dry, brittle and prone to breakage. Over time, your hair may also lose its natural shine as a result of this damage. Excessive hair fall is also a common symptom of heat damage.
