Hair is our crowning glory! But no one feels resplendent when they have fragile hair, also known as brittle hair. There are many causes of weak hair, from excessive heat to over-processing, but you can manage it with a few simple haircare hacks and a stellar routine that helps strengthen and restore your hair to its former glory.
When your hair is healthy, the shaft’s outer layer of scale-like cuticles are aligned and lying flat, which forms a protective shield. Bent and/or raised cuticles cause brittle hair and can lead to even more severe damage like breakage. Look for these signs to know if you have fragile hair.
If your hair tangles easily or feels rough to the touch, chances are you have dry hair. Maybe you’re not using the best shampoo for dry hair and it’s stripping out some of the natural oils, a leading cause of dryness.

Another sign of brittle hair is the infamous frizz. Unruly flyaways and an uneven “halo” around your head after washing mean you have frizzy hair. It’s highly likely that your cuticles need some TLC.
