Your hair contains 35% water naturally, this is what you see as you apply tongs, straighteners etc and this can cause bubble hair syndrome at any time if used excessively. If you choose to re-straighten your hair again without shampooing first then you will not gain the same effect as the moisture has already been removed. When you use any heat on your hair you are breaking down the protein bonds in the hair which as you step out into mist/fog/humidity the hair will automatically start to be restored to it's normal pattern. <br />Any bubble hair syndrome can lead to alopecia and may also have trichorrexis nodosa or trichoptilosi evident.<br />When drying your hair, leave it in a towell for as long as possible, rough dry until 85% dry then blowdry. Tongs, straighteners etc should never be used on any where near wet hair.......unless you don't want that hair that is!<br />Bin that hair dryer and shampoos will never work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-66603648466285388402012-08-03T21:28:13.523+01:002012-08-03T21:28:13.523+01:00Great post...i have a question though..in the last...Great post...i have a question though..in the last few months my hair has been breaking off. When i went for my last trim, my hair was shorter than it was a couple months prior. I noticed approximately a 100 .5cm pieces of hair on my shoulder after twirling it in my fingers. I switched shampoos, using something that said it could help with breakage but it didn't. I also took note that there was steam/smoke coming from my blow dryer and my curling iron. I curl my hair when it's dry but i'm wondering if this is the reason for my breakage? The blow dryer never contacted my hair but my hair would get so hot that i couldn't touch it. <br />Now, i ensure that there is no steam/smoke when drying or curling my hair. All settings are on low and my products are salon products, as my hair is also very fine. I don't see much breakage anymore but i still see 5-10 pieces a day on my shoulders? <br /><br />Will this get better in time or am i still doing something wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-87866283738546823382012-08-02T09:38:41.621+01:002012-08-02T09:38:41.621+01:00No it is all about direct contact with the tool on...No it is all about direct contact with the tool on wet hair.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-90481376890953872702012-08-02T09:37:59.615+01:002012-08-02T09:37:59.615+01:00Because their hair can take all that heat.

If you have time you can give it a couple of hours to air dry before blow drying or sittting under a dryer. If not using as low a heat setting as possible and not touching the hair with the heating tool should reduce the risk.<br /><br />Anon - Hooded dryers can overheat which can cause bubble hair. However their main advantage is that the heat is non contact. Keeping an eye on the temperature is the best way to minimise damage.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-58418336758118929502010-12-01T05:03:50.921+00:002010-12-01T05:03:50.921+00:00Thanks for the info Jc!
