Understanding

Understanding Hair Breakage & Keratin Repair.

Each hair strand is protected by an outer layer of microscopic overlapping scales called the cuticle, surrounding a strong inner core made of keratin protein. When hair is exposed to frequent heat styling, chemical bleaching, perming, or swimming pool chlorine, the protective cuticle cracks and lifts.

Once this protective shield is damaged, internal moisture leaks out, protein bonds snap, and hair becomes porous, dry, and brittle—breaking off easily midway down the strand. At 22 Luna, we offer deep-conditioning Hair Botox fiber reconstruction, autologous scalp stimulation, and revitalizing IV nutrient drips to repair broken protein bonds, seal cracked cuticles, and restore silky, touchable strength.

Prevalence & Context

Affects over 70% of people who regularly use heat straighteners, curling irons, bleach, or chemical hair colors.

Observation

Signs you may notice.

What people often experience when navigating this concern.

01Hair strands snapping and breaking off midway down when brushing, washing, or tying hair
02Extensive split ends, frayed tips, and a rough, straw-like feel when touching your hair
03Constant frizz, flyaways, and extreme difficulty gently detangling wet hair
04Hair having zero stretch or bounce (strands snap immediately when pulled gently instead of flexing)
05Dull, faded, rough look that fails to reflect light even after using salon conditioners
Contributing Factors

Possible causes.

Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.

01

Heat Styling & Flat Irons

High heat from hair straighteners and curling irons breaks the internal protein bonds of the hair fiber.

02

Chemical Bleaching & Dyes

Bleaching chemicals strip away the hair’s natural protective lipid layer, leaving cuticles cracked and open.

03

Protein & Nutrient Deficiencies

Low dietary protein, iron, and amino acids cause newly growing hair to emerge weak from the root.

04

Sun & Chlorine Exposure

UV sunlight and pool chemicals dry out hair keratin, making strands rough and fragile.

Simple, effective habits that support barrier resilience and maintain clinical progress.

Keep heat styling tools at moderate temperatures (below 180°C / 350°F) and air-dry whenever possible

03

Sleep on a smooth pure silk or satin pillowcase to prevent overnight friction and tangling

04

Use a wide-tooth comb starting from the ends and working upward to detangle gently without snapping strands

What is Hair Botox and how does it fix brittle hair?

Hair Botox is an intensive, non-chemical deep restorative treatment (containing no needles or toxin) that acts like a filler for your hair. It packs damaged gaps in the hair cuticle with nourishing peptides, keratin, and hyaluronic acid to restore silky softness and strength.
