Brilio.net - Having brittle hair can really reduce your self-confidence. Hair is said to be brittle if it dries quickly, tangles easily, is stiff, dull, breaks easily, and splits at the ends. Not only that, hair also falls out easily, resulting in baldness.
But unfortunately, many people don't realize that their hair is in a fragile condition, so their hair lacks care and ends up with damage. In fact, it is not uncommon for many people to style their hair when their hair is brittle.
In fact, it is very important to know the health condition of your hair at all times. Because before deciding to do a new treatment, such as coloring your hair, straightening your hair, or trying a permanent blow, you must ensure that your hair is in prime condition. If your hair is brittle but forced to go through a chemical process, instead of making it beautiful, your hair could actually become seriously damaged.
Like the story experienced by a TikTok user with the account name @cunmi.inhere, who had brittle hair but was determined to use hair straightening products. As a result, his hair fell out so badly that he experienced baldness.

"So my hair is already straight and I had the intention of using Makarizo so it wouldn't blow out, but it turns out that my hair type is straight, thin, maybe my hair isn't strong enough," wrote the account owner in the description of the uploaded video, which briliobeauty.net reported from the TikTok account @cunmi.inhere , Wednesday (10/7).
The story began when the account owner, known as Cunmi, felt that his hair was growing, and decided to use a hair straightening product. Even though at that time, his hair was straight and thin.
Please note that the use of hair straightening products generally involves several steps. During the first step, Cunmi already felt a change in her hair. Instead of being straight, it is broken and textured like rubber. Instead of stopping because his hair was starting to get damaged, Cunmi continued with the next step.

"Here I was very careless, in step 1 my hair was like rubber and broke, but instead I continued using step 2," said Cunmi.
The reason is, through another uploaded video, Cunmi feels that her hair is healthy because she has never bleached or colored her hair and hasn't used a straightener for a year.
"Heyyy, I'm also confused about why it changes color, I also just realized that when I used the second step, it was so hot that I felt like I was burning and suddenly it changed color and my hair turned rubbery," said Cunmi.

As a result, his hair becomes brittle, breaks and falls out very badly. Even when combed, the hair just comes off and sticks to the comb. Not only that, the back of his head also experienced baldness, because the hair straightener had touched the scalp area. In fact, it is not recommended to use straightening medication on the scalp.
"Honestly, I'm really frustrated here, confused and crying all the time. I only used the bottom on purpose but it turns out the medicine hit the back of my scalp and you know what? Yep, my hair broke from the roots and the condition is that the back of my head is bald," explained Cunmi.

After finding out that her hair was badly damaged, Cunmi finally decided to cut the bottom part of her hair which had a rubber-like texture. This is done to prevent hair damage from getting worse.
Through Cunmi's story, a lesson can be learned that before treating your hair using chemical products, make sure that your hair is really healthy. Not only that, you also need to follow the right steps according to the recommendations for using the product you are going to use. So, to prevent damage from occurring, make sure to take extra care of your hair, using hair oil, hair serum, hair mask, and conditioner.

"Just use hazelnut oil, bro. I used to do that until my hair was really thin," said the account @xlitah.
"I'm not using it, maybe my brother is using it wrong," said the account @p10lling.
