So how many of you have split ends? lots of them? a few? Well here is how to minimize the causes of split hair. Split hair or ends is called Trichoptilosis, this is when the protective cuticle is destroyed at the end of the hair. One of the main causes of this is excessive use of heat tools, other factors include;
1. over use of styling products that contain alcohol, (alcohol denat), this dehydrates your hair
2. Too many chemical treatments (bleaching or perming)
3. Environmental damage, from hot or cold climate issues
4. Not getting regular trims.
5. Using cheap hair styling tools ,cheap combs and brushes that snag your hair
6. Sea water and chlorine and UV rays
7. Over washing your hair this will strip out the natural oils.
8. Back-combing hair
Once the hair follicle splits the only way to remove it is to cut it. Cut your hair with proper hairdressing scissors a 1/4 of an inch above the split end. You can do a search and destroy mission on your hair . This is where you take a section of hair and look for any splits then destroy! (trim). This is a good method if you are growing out long hair. Do a deep conditioning treatment once a week and use coconut oil to keep the hair hydrated preventing dry split ends.
