The Signs of Your Health in Your Hair and Scalp

 11.Overstyling Weakens Your Hair
Blow drying, using a flat iron, coloring, bleaching, even over-brushing — all can damage the outer layer (cuticle) of your hair. When the inner core of hair is exposed, your locks become dry and dull.

Usually, hair grows back when the medication is stopped, but may not in some cases.
