HAIR DAMAGE
Our hair suffers, weakens and becomes unhealthy when there is a lack in the scalp's supply of essential nutrients, oils, vitamins and minerals it requires. It is vital to know what factors can cause this insufficiency.
Apart from nutritional requirements, environmental and physical strains must also be considered as they can damage our hair independently from chemical imbalances.
