Split End Hairs

Split Ends :

Split Ends occur when the cuticle is damaged and the fibres of the cortex unravel. The hair is dry, brittle and prone to tangling and can split at the end or anywhere along the shaft.

Causes of Split Ends Over perming or coloring insufficient conditioning too much brushing or back combing especially with poor quality brushes careless use of spiky rollers and hair pins excessive heat styling and not having the hair trimmed regularly, can also cause Split Ends.

Split Ends Treatment and solutions:
Split Ends cannot be mended, the only lon-term cure is to have them snipped off. What is lost in the length will be gained in quality. It may help if you reduce the frequency with which you shampoo, as this in itself is stressful to hair and causes split ends to extend up the hair shaft.

Never use a dryer too near the hair, or set it on too high a temperature. Minimize the use of heated appliances. Try conditioners and serums that are designed to seal split ends temporarily and give resistance to further splitting.
Split ends cannot be mended, just temporarily sealed. The only permanent cure is to have your hair trimmed regularly.
