Even genetics can contribute to the problem. One way to figure out what the problem is to consult with a reputable hairstylist or even enlist the aid of a doctor if you are noticing drastic unevenness or patches of hair breakage.

Proper Protein + Moisture Balance – Natural hair needs moisture to stay elastic and hydrated and that leads to less damage.

Things like not washing hair when needed, using direct heat, keeping weaves and braids in too long or neglecting hair when using those weaves and braids.

Once the natural oils are stripped away, the exposed hair is now vulnerable to damage from the heat of the hair dryer, straight iron, or curling iron. that weaker and brittle hair is exposed to products with harsh chemicals that further weaker and damage the hair, like hair spray, hair coloring, mousse, and gels. Over time, the exposed hair shafts lose their ability to grow and simply fall out or break off unevenly.
