Kinky hair is naturally more fragile than curly hair, as it has more bends and tight coils. This makes it even more difficult for natural sebum to travel along the length of the hair shaft, leaving it more prone to dryness.
When kinky hair is bleached, this leads to increased protein loss, significantly higher fragility (when compared to other curl types) and severe moisture loss, increasing the risk of chronic dryness and breakage.
Because your strands are already weakened, tight braids and certain hairstyles can put additional stress on the hair, making it more susceptible to traction alopecia.
