Hey guys, it's Cam and today I wanted to
try something a little bit different as
you can see
I got a little setup going on like nighttime
I got my sweats and stuff on, it's actually
almost 12 o'clock so we're gonna call this...
Late Night Talks with Cam
*applause*
Basically I'm just going to be giving you guys
information that I wouldn't do in like a
regular video, like, it's going to be all
our information, no tutorial, just all
information but it's like good
information so, I suggest that you watch all
the way through and if you want to skip to
any parts or rewind to any parts I'll put
times, somewhere on the screen
right now
so today I'm going to be talking
about breakage and how to avoid it and
what the causes are and types of breakages
and all of that so let's get started
but first of all just a little
disclaimer I'll put it somewhere right
here yeah alright so, let's get started now forreal.
Breakage is defined as the act of
breaking, something that has been broken
or lost or damage as a result of
breaking but to define the word without
using the word within the definition we
have to define the word break so break
is defined as separation into parts i.e
discontinuity so basically if my hand
was your scalp and all of this was your
hair shaft
that's breakage
So, what are different types of breakage the most familiar one
and most known is probably split ends
I'll put a picture up of split ends, examples of
different types of split end, basically your
hair starts to break apart, like this
or like this and eventually if it's not cut
off it starts to split up the hair shaft
that weakens the hair shaft and causes
breakage
another type of breakage is tri-
trichorrhexis nodosa, um it's like little gaps
so this is the hole looks like a gap
it's like a holes within your hair shaft
or like little gaps within your hair shaft and
they definitely weaken your hair shaft
and it makes it really easy for your hair to
just, snap off
Another one is trichoclasis
and that's like, it's like a split end but
within the hair shaft, instead of at the
end, so it's like, it's like a crack in
your hair or like a split in your hair
shaft and another type of hair damage, hair
breakage that basically is the root of a
lot of breakage it's like mechanical
breakage or self-imposed breakage
Why does break it to occur?
Breakage usually
is rooted from a lack of moisture or
mechanical damage like I just stated
previously
The first why or the first cause
that I have on my list is lack of
moisture um lack of moisture is really a
big problem and it causes a lot of
breakage dry brittle hair is more
prone to breakage than moisturized
hair so it's very important to keep your
hair moisturized, it's more important to keep
your hair moisturized, if you have curly
curly or kinky hair, the kinkier your
hair is the more moisture you need. Another
cause of breakage is illness or medical
conditions if you think that you're
seeing a lot of breakage because of
medical reasons please consult with a
doctor
another reason for breakage is poor
dieting or deficiencies and by
deficiencies I mean like vitamin
deficiencies or not having enough protein in
your diet or not drinking enough water or
it's not eating healthy altogether.
How they be in the commercials ?
Got milk? Oh, wait
Another reason for breakage is stress
stress can cause a lot of problems to
your body and especially to your hair
it can cause breakage, it can cause hair loss altogether
Another cause of breakage is
chemical processing or over processing
like bleaching or dying your hair and
the last one I have on my list is basically
what I said before, um, mechanical damage
like aggressive grooming or styling and
also the accessories that you put in
your hair like elastics or rubber bands
or anything like that
so it's important not to confuse hair
shedding with hair breakage, hair
shedding is natural you can shed up to
50 to 100 hairs a day although you
probably won't see them much like I
usually don't see them much but
but hair breakage is usually not natural and it's
usually self-imposed but it's also
important to know the difference between
hair shedding and hair loss, if you guys
need to do a video on that let me know
down below
So,
Why does all this matter
um, so breakage and length retention
are negatively correlated, meaning the
more breakage you have the less length you'll
see or the less length you'll retain
so people who say that a lot but I don't
know if people get it all the time that
it's said so I'm going to try like to draw
it out a little bit and hopefully it
makes sense if it didn't already before
if it did already make sense, I hope you
enjoy my drawing
now that we know what breakage is,
different types of breakages why it's
important and what causes it
let's talk about how to avoid it and
it's kind of a long list, so I'm just
read straight off my phone, trying to
remember this, cancelled
the first one
be gentle when detangling, be gentle when you're touching
your hair in general it doesn't have to be
detangling, when you're styling it
anything in general because, your hair
is not afraid to just pop off, make sure
you're using the proper tools, I always say
that a denman brush is not a detangling
brush it is a styling brush however
nobody can tell you what to do so and
always make sure that you keep your nails
clean cut and smooth
keep your hair
moisturized and again the tighter your
hair texture the more moisture you need
avoid high tension and high stress
styles, definitely a victim of this
I have experienced a lot of breakage because of
this, but I'm doing better with it I
will admit that, I am doing better with
it, so like like tight ponytails, like a
couple months ago I used to use these to
make my ponytails instead of the
scrunchies that I use now you can see in
my, um, curly hair routine which ones I
use now um but it really does make a
difference like the more your hair is
pulling the more likely they can just
pop try to keep it at a minimum also
styling your hair while wet, I'm another
victim of that I still do it to this day
I'ma be transparent it's a hard habit to
break, another thing to avoid is
cotton pillowcases and towels they can snag
your hair and dry them out so that's two
things possible that you need to avoid
another important thing is to dust or
trim your ends when necessary especially
if you see like single strand knots or
all the stuff that I talked about split
ends, not even gonna try to pronounce it
again I had one time, I'm not going to do
it again, if it's at the bottom it's
important to cut it off, if you see it in
length of your hair you may not want to
cut it off you may want to I don't know
I need to trim mine, I'm definitely in need for a trim
having a healthy routine and a proper
balance of moisture and protein like if
you need more protein make sure that
you're balancing out
moisture, if you need more moisture, make sure you're
balancing out the protein, another
important thing, um, chemical processing
and harsh chemicals so like sulfate
shampoos I'm not going to say stay away
from them because I definitely do you use
sulfate shampoos sometimes you need like
a good clean especially when you have
like really dirty hair when using a lot
of product sometimes you do need a good
clean it's not good to use a sulfate
shampoo every time you wash your hair
unless you're only washing your hair like
once a month but if you're using a
sulfate shampoo every week your hair is
going to get dry and dryness leads to
breakage as well as bleaching and perming
I'm not going to say not to do it, well
I'm not going to encourage you to do it
but I'm not going to say not to do it
just do it the correct way and make sure
that you're maintaining it after it's done, um, and
lastly protect your hair from things
that can weaken, so like direct
heat can definitely weaken your hair and
um, UV radiation can definitely weaken your hair
as well there are several oils with
natural SPF and I will list those
somewhere here,
however some of these
oils only protect against UVA radiation
but not UVB radiation, UVA radiation is
responsible for hair color changes so
if I was to put my ends up to my roots my
ends would look like brown but my roots would
look black because of the sun's
radiation, UVB radiation is responsible
for a hair protein loss especially
keratin just be mindful of all these
oils and what they actually protect
against I think the one that protects
against both of them the most is red
raspberry oil if I remember correctly so yeah
I think that's pretty much the end, it's important to
remember that prevention is key because
once your hair is broken it's not much
you can do to repair it, like I don't
think anything you can do to repair to
or fix it, so prevention is really the
key to everything and it's also
important to remember that you can't
avoid breakage but you
reduce and minimize it
I hope this was
informative, if you want to see more videos
