How many of you notice more hair than usual after brushing or washing? You notice that your comb is full and that your bathroom floor has strands of hair everywhere. Well, this is most common with women, but it is also becoming a very common issue with men.
All these things visibly make you realise how fast your life is moving, whether it is stress or would you eventually go bald. It also makes you think about the possible reasons and causes for such a level of hair breakage and hair fall. But do you know if your hair is actually falling from the root or are the fragile strands just simply breaking off?
Hair Breakage vs Hair Fall
Hair fall happens when a strand sheds from the root.You may notice a small white bulb-like end when the hair falls. Other signs of hair fall are increased shedding, more strands while washing, thinning hair appearance, increased shedding from the root and much more. However, when the white bulb is visible, it doesn't automatically mean that there is some abnormal hair loss happening.
Hair breakage happens when a strand snaps along its length, so you may notice shorter pieces, uneven lengths, or split ends. You may even notice frayed ends, flyaways, rough texture, and increased frisk. Hair breaking off into lots of tiny strands around your shoulders or sinks is also one of the signs of hair breakage. Hair breaking off doesn't necessarily mean that your follicles are producing less hair.
Why is Your Hair Breaking Off?
Your hair could be breaking off because of heat styling. Repeated use of straighteners, coiling irons and high temperature blow dry dries everyday can contribute to structural damage. Heat can affect the hair follicles and increase dryness and fragility of the hair, thus leading to weak hair and hair breaking off.
Another reason why your hair constantly keeps on breaking off is due to hair colouring and chemical treatments. Undergoing bleaching, colouring, straightening, and forming can alter the hair fiber and leave it more vulnerable to breakage. Similarly, if you have dry hair, it is more difficult to manage and thus such hair can be more prone to roughness and hair breakage.
At the same time, if you roughly and aggressively towel drying your hair, pull through the knots, brush very rigorously or put up tight hairstyles and up do', it can lead to weak hair. Such excessive manipulation and weak hair definitely causes hair breakage.
Another reason why your hair is breaking off is also because of the environmental stress that you undergo every single day. Factors such as pollution, sun exposure, humidity, dust, and frequent washing can gradually lead to weak hair, thus making them weaker, rougher, and more prone to hair breaking off.
When all of these factors add up, they tend to lead to a high amount of hair breaking off thus leading to weak hair.
What Causes Excessive Hair Fall?
Possible reasons for hair fall could be due to genetics or hormonal changes. Apart from that, illness or stress or nutritional deficiencies can also lead to weak hairs and thus leading to hair fall. At the same time, if you are taking certain medications or undergoing postpartum changes or your scalp conditions keep on constantly changing then this too can be a reason for excessive hair fall. However if you are experiencing persistent or sudden hair loss, then the underlying cause needs to be investigated.
Using an essential oil hair care shampoo and conditioner can support scalp and hair care. It can help to prevent hair breakage as well as contribute to healthier looking hair, thus helping you to address the issue of hair fall.
Can You Prevent Hair Breakage?
Yes, one can definitely prevent hair breakage by following a few very easy steps. Firstly, they need to start with a routine and reduce unnecessary heat. Using low temperatures and avoiding repeated high heat styling can help. Gently squeezing out water from the hair and not aggressively towel drying help prevent hair breakage.
Taking care of certain small aspects such as detangling the hair gently and carefully and working from ends and then upwards can also prevent a lot of hair breakage. At the same time, using a conditioner after shampooing can help to improve the slip, manageability and detangling of rough, dry, and damage prone hair.
Providing damaged hair with additional essential oil hair care shampoos and conditioners for healthy hair can also particularly work to prevent hair breakage happening due to dry, rough, or processed hair. Using a hair mask is also one way to particularly manage these untameable hair and using light weight oil on lengths and ends can be a natural bridge to repair moisture and restore natural hair oil.
How CINCINNUS Essential Oil Hair Care Supports Hair
The current Cincinnus Essential Oil collection includes a complete Nourish and Repair system, rather than just one product. It includes a range of Essential Oil Hair Care products such as shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, hair oil and combination kits. This helps to prevent hair breakage and care for hair, this product works as a routine.
Cincinnus Nourish & Repair Shampoo
Shampoo is basically the first step to cleansing your hair. If your hair is already dry, rough or prone to hair breaking off, your shampoo routine should leave your scalp clean without making the lengths feel like dry hay. The CINCINNUS Nourish & Repair Shampoo is made with Damascus Rose Essential Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary Oil and Panthenol (Vitamin B5). It can be used for normal, combination and dry hair and is designed around nourishment, smoothness and managing frizz.
And remember to not aggressively scrub the lengths.
Cincinnus Nourish & Repair Conditioner
This is probably the most important part of a hair breakage prevention routine. A lot of people shampoo their hair, skip conditioner and then wonder why their hair feels rough and gets tangled five minutes later. The conditioner helps make the hair easier to comb and manage. This matters because constantly pulling and tugging at tangled hair isn't exactly helping if you're already dealing with weak hair or hair breakage.
The CINCINNUS Nourish & Repair Conditioner contains Damascus Rose Essential Oil, Argan Oil and Panthenol (Vitamin B5), along with other plant oils; is designed to soften, detangle and improve manageability while helping reduce breakage and split ends.
The important part to know is where you apply it. Put it mainly on your mid-lengths and ends, not all over your scalp and leave it on for around 2–3 minutes before rinsing.
Cincinnus Hair Mask
Sometimes the conditioner is enough. Sometimes your hair needs even more and that is where a hair mask can come in. If your hair has been through regular heat styling, colouring, straightening, rough brushing or just feels extremely dry and frizzy, adding a hair mask for damaged hair once or twice a week can give your routine an extra conditioning step.
The CINCINNUS Nourish & Repair Hair Mask is designed for deep conditioning and damage care. It contains ingredients such as Damascus Rose Essential Oil, Argan Oil and Panthenol, and is useful for dry, damaged, frizzy and difficult-to-manage hair.
After shampooing, apply it through the lengths, avoid the scalp, leave it on for around 5–10 minutes, and rinse. If your main concern is hair breaking off, this extra conditioning step can be particularly useful.
Cincinnus Moisture Repair Hair Oil
Hair oil is just one part of your routine. The CINCINNUS Moisture Repair Hair Oil is designed for dry, damaged and colour-treated hair. It contains ingredients including Damascus Rose Essential Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Olive Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil, and is a lightweight option for smoothing frizz and adding shine.
Only a few drops are enough. Apply a small amount through the lengths and ends, especially when your hair feels dry or looks frizzy.

When You Should See a Professional?
Not every hair problem can be fixed with a new shampoo. If you're suddenly losing a lot of hair, getting bald patches, noticing a receding hairline or seeing your hair become much thinner, it's better to get it checked. The same goes for constant itching, redness or scalp irritation. Products can help with dry, weak and damaged hair and can support a better hair-care routine. But if the problem is actual hair loss, it's important to know what's causing it first.
So, What Now?
Basically, look at what you're seeing. Short broken pieces, split ends, frizz and tangles are more likely hair breakage. Whole strands falling from the root, thinning or bald patches are more likely hair fall. For weak, dry or damaged hair, the CINCINNUS Essential Oil Nourish & Repair range can be part of your routine, with shampoo, conditioner, hair mask and hair oil for different levels of care. At the end of the day, preventing hair breakage isn't about finding one magic product. It's about being a little kinder to your hair and sticking to a routine.
