Hair Stretch Test: How to Do?

This simple “stretch test” will tell you a lot about the elasticity of your hair, which is a good indication of its overall health.
 
Let’s do a quick and easy hair stretch test.
 
1 - Hold a strand of wet hair securely at the root to avoid pulling it. Gently stretch the hair with the other hand.
2 - Release the hair. The hair is elastic if it stretches and returns to its original length upon release.
3 - Your hair has low elasticity if it breaks easily or does not bounce back into shape.

Why Does Moisturizing Help Reduce Low Hair Elasticity?

Hair that lacks elasticity can be prone to breakage and excessive stretching, which can lead to hair loss. Here are reasons why adding moisture to your hair is essential, just like it is to your skin.

• Moisture can help reduce low hair elasticity by replenishing the natural oils in the hair shaft.
• Moisture can also help to seal in hydration and prevent the hair from becoming dry and brittle.
• In addition, moisture can help to protect the hair from damage and breakage.

Keeping the hair shaft moisturized can help reduce the risk of low hair elasticity and keep your locks looking healthy and lustrous.
