5 Signs Your Hair Is Damaged

Dryness, frizz and split ends aren’t always just “bad hair days.” Here’s how to recognise damaged hair. And the three things it needs to look and feel healthy again.

1. Your hair feels rough or straw like

Healthy hair usually feels smooth and flexible. When the outer surface becomes damaged, strands can begin to feel coarse, rough or unusually dry.

2. It snaps or breaks easily

Finding broken strands on your clothes, in your brush or around the bathroom may indicate that your hair has become weaker and less resilient.


It can be especially noticeable when brushing, detangling or tying your hair up.

3. Your hair looks dull and frizzy

When the hair’s surface becomes rough, it reflects less light and struggles to retain moisture. This can leave it looking dull, fluffy and frizzy rather than smooth and shiny.

4. Your ends look dry and split

The ends are the oldest and most exposed part of your hair, so they’re often where damage appears first. They may look wispy, brittle, uneven or visibly split.

5. It tangles more than it use to

Damaged strands have a rougher surface, making them more likely to catch against one another. If your hair suddenly feels difficult to brush or knots soon after detangling, damage could be contributing.
