What makes our hair to split ends:
Long exposure to the sun, all kinds of shampoos, overheat by hairdryers and tongs.
Not trimming your hair regularly.
Poor quality brushes and combs.
Some hair types are naturally prone to split ends so they require extra care.
The Cures:
If you already have split ends, a sure cure is to cut them off but that is not always what you want especially if you are growing your hair. Bear in mind that if you don't do something about them then your hair will gradually get shorter anyway because split ends drop off and continue to split backwards towards the scalp at a faster rate than your hair can grow. To get your hair back into shape and keep it looking that way we suggest you try some of the basic methods below:
Use specialist products that are designed to seal the splits temporarily in order to catch any splits that are shorter than the length you want to cut your hair to and to allow your hair to grow a little longer before you trim.
Always condition hair longer than 10cm (4 inches). A weekly treatment is also a good idea especially if your hair is prone to splitting, chemically treated or exposed to harsh elements/heated appliances like tongs and flat irons.
Trim regularly (every 6 weeks for shorter hair 8 to 12 weeks for longer hair) and apply regular treatments.
Layers in your hair can catch splits that have become really bad which is better than losing lots of length. Discuss this thoroughly with your stylist to ensure that this option is for you.
Avoid excess heat and too much brushing and combing.
Invest in a quality combs and real bristle brushes. Throw away combs immediately a tooth is lost and never use metal combs.
Don't wash your hair with hot water. Always use your bath water at room temperature. Hot water can leads to severe hair damage.
