What causes hair damage?
For a start, experts Let's say hair damage occurs when the hair cuticle (also known as the outer layer of the hair) is compromised.

You may be using excessive heat when styling your hair or using hair dye and bleach regularly. Maybe you love wearing tight hairstyles that require elastic hair bands, like slicked back buns and ponytails (something I'm personally guilty of).
