Your breakage may not be from bleach — but from these quiet daily habits. Let’s fix them.
We often blame hair damage on the big culprits: bleach, color, heat. But in reality, many of the things that slowly weaken our hair are much quieter — happening in our routines, our tools, even our towels. If your hair feels weaker, thinner, or less shiny than usual, one of these common mistakes could be the hidden cause.
Here’s what to look out for — and how to course-correct with expert advice and targeted Nutree products that strengthen from root to tip.
1. Over-Washing or Using the Wrong Shampoo
Too much washing (or the wrong formula) strips the scalp of essential oils and disrupts the moisture-protein balance of your hair. Even if your strands are oily at the roots, aggressive washing may be doing more harm than good — especially if your shampoo contains sulfates.
What to do instead:
– Wash only 2–3 times per week if possible
– Choose gentle, sulfate-free formulas that preserve moisture
Nutree Recommends:
– Amazonliss Anti-Frizz Shampoo — ideal for all hair types, this formula cleanses without stripping, protects the cuticle, and balances frizz control with hydration.
2. Skipping Deep Conditioning
If your routine ends with shampoo and rinse-out conditioner, you’re missing the chance to rebuild internal strength. Without regular deep treatment, hair becomes porous, brittle, and prone to breakage — especially after summer sun, heat tools, or chemical treatments.
What to do instead:
– Use a deep conditioning treatment 1–2x per week
– Alternate between hydrating and strengthening formulas
Nutree Recommends:
– Bondox Expert Mask — infused with marine collagen and hydrolyzed keratin, this treatment targets elasticity, structure, and frizz in one step.
3. Brushing the Wrong Way
Wet hair is more fragile than dry. Brushing straight from root to end on soaking strands causes tiny breaks you might not see immediately — but over time, they add up.
What to do instead:
– Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush
– Start from the ends and work upward
– Add a leave-in conditioner to ease knots
Nutree Recommends:
– Amazonliss Leave-In Conditioner — lightweight, smoothing, and heat-protective, it detangles without buildup and shields hair from friction damage.
4. Rough Towel-Drying or Tight Hairstyles
We love the post-shower towel turban, but the truth is: rough fabrics and tight twists cause friction and breakage, especially around the hairline. The same goes for high ponytails, tight braids, or elastic bands that pull too hard.
What to do instead:
– Gently squeeze water out with a microfiber towel or cotton tee
– Alternate between tight and loose hairstyles
– Use scrunchies or soft spiral ties instead of rubber bands
Pro Tip: Your hairline is the most fragile area — treat it like silk.
5. Neglecting Sun and Heat Protection
UV rays, hot tools, and even the sunroof in your car can damage the hair cuticle. If you don’t protect your strands like you do your skin, they’ll show signs of dullness, dryness, and frizz fast — especially in color-treated or keratin-treated hair.
What to do instead:
– Always apply a heat-protectant before styling
– Use leave-in care with UV filters
– Cover your hair with a hat or scarf when under strong sun
Nutree Recommends:
– Amazonliss Leave-In Conditioner again proves its multitasking magic — with UV and thermal protection built in.
Final Word:
Great hair isn’t just about treatments — it’s about habits.
By paying attention to the small mistakes hiding in your routine, and choosing expert-recommended care like Nutree’s keratin-rich solutions, you can stop slow damage in its tracks and build stronger, shinier hair over time.
Small shifts. Big difference. Let your hair feel the change.
