If you are not getting enough nutrients, your hair can have split ends and your hair can break. Your body needs enough nutrition because it is what causes hair growth. Because Protein is considered the building blocks of life, first make sure to get enough protein in your diet. Also, non-organic hair products can cause breakage.

It can be caused by overprocessing. Too much coloring or straightening can damage the hair. It can be caused by constantly wearing the hair in a tightly pulled back style over a long period of time. Brittle hair can also be a sign of a poor diet, mineral deficiencies can cause unhealthy hair.
