We strive for healthy looking, luscious locks in more ways than one but here's the catch – healthy hair is an oxymoron. Did you know that hair is actually not a living cell or organ, and therefore it has no true health quotient? This is the reason why when you get your haircut, it doesn't hurt. However, the hair follicle has life. Don't even try pulling out your hair from the roots, it'll hurt. Hair strands are literal protein threads, once they protrude out of the hair follicle, it becomes a fine fabric. Regardless, the goal remains achieving those Rapunzel-like shiny hair that are strong enough to glide down a window and transform into your prince's stairway to a high tower. While you can't actually heal a compromised hair fiber, you can take measures to prevent damage from occurring in the first place. Now, you religiously follow a hair care routine and despite all the TLC that you work for, does your hair still feel dry, dull and lacking lustre? This could be a sign of damaged hair. As counterintuitive as it may sound, your hair could be seriously damaged despite a regular hair care routine in place. In case you don't go nuts with your hair care routine and have in fact been avoiding taking care of your hair, it's time to change this.
