Repairing split ends is essential for keeping your hair healthy, encouraging growth, and preventing hair loss and other problems like broken, dry or dull hair. Here's how to repair split ends.
What are split ends?
Split ends are the result of damaged hair that hasn't been treated properly. The hair cuticle is worn down, so each strand splits into several thin, very weak strands.
Repairing split ends is a priority, since in advanced cases it can cause headaches and uncontrolled hair loss, among other chronic conditions.
The scientific name for split ends is trichoptilosis. With the right hair care products and consistency, you can repair split ends so your hair grows healthy and strong.
What causes split ends?
There are many causes of this condition, and to repair split ends you need to know what might be going wrong in your hair care. Some causes of split ends are:
- Overusing tools like blow dryers or flat irons
- Not using conditioner
- Dye treatments
- Not enough hydration
- Too much sun and other outside elements like cold and pollution without proper care
