Does cellophane damage hair

YES! I've had three different stylist decide without telling me to use cellophane on my hair with the same result. SEVERE breakage! I am Black and do not use relaxer at all. After the cellophane treatment, it looks as though it has been relaxed with waves instead of curls. My hair then breaks and the only thing that can be done is cutting it off and allowing new hair to grow. The first hair dresser denied that it could be the cellophane but maybe hormones. The second and third said the same thing. But why does my hair grow back and does well until the cellophane treatment is applied?
