HAVE you ever wondered why your hair is beginning to feel and look dry and damaged, even when you’re doing everything you can to prevent it?
A hair pro has revealed that there are three hidden everyday things that could be causing this.
But the good news is that once you know about them, they are easy to stop doing and therefore it can be fixed.
TikTok user Abbey, who can be found at @abbets, shares hair growth tips on her social media account.

Abbey revealed: “Castor oil can cause a barrier to build up, giving it the APPEARANCE it’s helping, but really is suffocating the hair strands underneath.

The next thing that people should be mindful of when looking after their hair is the water they’re using to wash it – as hard water can actually be contributing to the damage.
Abbey continued: “You can tell if you have it by white residue around your water faucets.”

She concluded: “Oh boy… so so so many bad ingredients on the shelf, especially in the US, that can actually cause so much damage in the long run.
