Brittle hair: understanding the problem
Before we move on to the styling tips, it's important to understand what brittle hair is and how it occurs. Brittle hair is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a sign of weakened and damaged hair. It can occur all year round but is often worse during the cold season.
How does brittle hair develop?
Brittle hair is caused by various factors:
- Excessive heat: frequent styling with heating tools such as straighteners and curling irons can dry out and weaken the hair.
- Chemical treatments: hair dyes, bleaches and perms can change the hair structure and make it brittle.
- Lack of care: neglecting proper hair care, especially the lack of moisturizing and conditioning products.
- Environmental influences: cold winter air and dry air in general strip hair of moisture and make it more prone to breakage.
Recognize if your hair is brittle:
- You notice increased hair loss and broken hairs, especially at the ends.
- Your hair feels dry, brittle and straw-like.
- When combing or brushing, you find more hair on the comb or brush than usual.
- Your hair has split ends.
The solution:
The right hair care is the game changer for brittle hair! And we wouldn't be Yours Truly if we didn't have the right hair care for you.

Loose bun:

- Leave a few strands loose to refine the styling.
Low ponytail:
- Start with dry hair.
- Tie your hair into a loose, low ponytail and secure it with a soft and narrow hair tie.
- Carefully pull out a few strands to create an 'undone' look.
- Wrap a small section of hair around the elastic to hide it and pin it in place with a bobby pin
Loosen the bun a little towards the bottom. Part the hair over the elastic in the middle. Push the entire tail through the space created so that the elastic sits at the nape of the neck. Now pull the braid a little tightly.
Braided updo:
- Start with dry or slightly damp hair.
- Braid two side braids, starting at ear level.
