Friction and Weathering

• Weathering

The natural progressive deterioration of hair follicles. Over time, everyday wear and tear causes the scales of the hair cuticle to weaken and break.

• Brushes, Curlers and Accessories

The use of brushes and combs, curlers, hair bands and barrettes accelerate this process. Never use a bristle brush on wet hair. Instead, use a vented brush or large toothed comb with rounded ends.

• Backcombing

Backbrushing and backcombing and are particularly damaging because they pull and tear at the scales of the cuticle in a direction opposite the lay pattern.

• Scissors

Cutting hair with blunt or dull scissors creates a jagged edge across the cuticle, roughing the scales and increasing the potential for fraying. Razor cutting produces long tapered hair edges that weather sooner and fray more easily. Use a nutrition or treatment mask to strengthen and protect hair against friction and weathering.
