    Some shampoos contain harsh ingredients that can dry out your hair and strip away its natural oils. This may lead to breakage. To help prevent that, choose a gentle shampoo that's formulated for your scalp type. Also, eat a healthy diet full of leafy green vegetables, and drink plenty of water.
