According to hair stylist Alex Mendes, excessive use of straighteners and blow dryers can contribute to the development of the problem, as the temperature contributes to the loss of hydration in the hair, damaging it in the long run. The abuse of chemical products such as dyes, bleaching and smoothing in general is still harmful.
