brittle hair

Snaps when touched

Brittle hair is hair that has become dry, weak, and prone to breaking.

The condition results from damage, nutritional deficiencies, or medical issues that compromise the hair's structure: Her brittle hair snapped off when she tried to brush it.

Treatments typically focus on moisture and protein restoration.
