Kristle Jones, a licensed cosmetics expert, said, Strict hair styles, such as horseshoes and bunks that are combed up are becoming a trend, but this hairstyle can damage hair in several ways. The first is strain on hair because pulling too fast can cause hair fractures. Over time, you can also see some hair fall out due to tight hairstyles. Not to mention, strict hairstyles can cause painful headaches. Do this hairstyle only occasionally, don't regularly," said Jones.

Avoid strict hairstyles such as kepang or horsetails when wet hair, because wet hair is more prone to broken hair. Choose a looser hairstyle or let your hair dry on your own.

Tight hairstyle can damage hair because it causes broken hair, weakens hair stems, and causes alopecia to traction, a condition where prolonged tensions pull hair to the roots. In addition, this hairstyle can cause irritation of the scalp and headaches due to persistent pull.

Exposure to the sun for too long can also damage the hair. Consider wearing a wide-edged hat or a swimming hat with UV protection if you plan to spend a lot of time in the sun.

In addition to carrying out the above treatments, you can also trim your lower hair a little. Regular cuts can help remove damaged ends of the hair and keep your hair healthy.

Consumption of sufficient water and eating foods balanced with important vitamins such as A, C, and E, minerals such as biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, because everything can contribute to the health of your hair as a whole.

If you have colored hair, it is even more important to protect it from exposure to chlorine and sunlight. Consider using shampoo and conditioner specifically for swimming for colored hair.
