FAQs
What is anti-breakage shampoo?
Anti-breakage shampoo works overtime to strengthen and repair broken strands. These types of shampoos have formulas specifically created for broken and damaged hair. Typically, anti-breakage shampoo is richer in texture and more hydrating in nature to seal and repair the hair. They may incorporate bond-building elements to help hair strands stay together. Anti-breakage shampoo may also have oils like coconut or argan for a boost of hydration for both the scalp and hair strands.
How do you treat hair breakage?
There are many ways to treat hair breakage. Since washing your hair is the first step in a hair care routine, getting an anti-breakage shampoo is one of the best ways to help treat your hair each week. Other ways to treat hair breakage are to reduce heat styling, use deep conditioners and treatments, wear hairstyles less taxing on your hair strands, and make lifestyle changes with diet and exercise.
Why is my hair breaking off?
Hair can begin breaking off due to factors like vitamin deficiencies, over-styling with heat, chemical treatments, tight hairstyles, dryness, and stress. Not protecting the hair at night by using a satin pillowcase or not using heat protectants when blow drying can also cause hair to break off. Another reason for hair breakage is handling the hair too roughly. Over-brushing or roughly combing out knots and tangles can easily break the hair. Choose hair tools that help you gently maintain your hair.
How long does it take to repair hair breakage?
The time it takes to repair hair breakage depends on the severity of the damage. You may see positive results within a few washes after using an anti-breakage shampoo and more improvement in overall hair health within a few weeks. However, if hair breakage is sewerage, it could take several months to restore hair to health. It’s important to continue using the right hair products to support hair repair while also remaining gentle when styling and handling your hair. This helps speed up the process and gets you closer to less breakage.
Why are natural ingredients best for hair breakage?
When hair is fragile and damaged, typical shampoo ingredients can be too harsh. Parabens, sulfates, and formaldehyde are ingredients found in many shampoos and conditioners on the market, but they are often damaging to hair—especially hair that is already breaking off. Naturally derived ingredients are gentle yet effective in cleansing, conditioning, and repairing hair health. The MELU Shampoo uses lentil seed extracts that repair and rebuild hair due to the abundance of amino acids found in them.

What really causes hair to break off? The answer isn’t always simple—many factors can contribute to breakage. Hair that undergoes color treatments, chemical styling (like straightening or perms), frequent blowouts, or bleaching is especially at risk. These processes weaken the hair shaft and strip it of essential moisture, leaving strands dry and fragile. Even environmental stressors, like sun exposure or harsh weather, can play a role in causing hair to break.
Although it can be discouraging, rest assured, there is a way to strengthen your hair, prevent breakage, and encourage your luscious locks to live long and prosper. It starts with an anti-breakage shampoo.
Choosing an anti-breakage shampoo is a simple solution for hair breakage concerns. Ditch any shampoo containing sulfates, parabens, and SLES in exchange for a naturally derived anti-breakage shampoo that quenches thirsty hair. Pair this product with a sulfate-free conditioner and you're on your way to luscious, healthy locks.
