Split Ends

What are split ends?

Split ends are a common hair problem that occurs when the ends of your hair become dry and damaged, causing them to split in two. This splitting can be caused by several factors, including:

1. Frequent use of heat: Regularly exposing your hair to heat sources such as blow dryers, straighteners and curling irons can disrupt your hair's natural moisture balance and lead to dryness and brittleness, which in turn can cause split ends.

2. Exposure to environmental factors: Factors such as sunlight, wind and chlorinated water can all contribute to damaging your hair. UV rays from the sun can damage the proteins in your hair, while wind and chlorinated water can dry out and weaken hair, making it more susceptible to split ends.

3. Improper use of hair products: Using hair products that are too harsh or contain ingredients that dry out your hair can contribute to the development of split ends. Too many chemical treatments, such as regularly dyeing or bleaching your hair, can also lead to damage and split ends.

4. Poor nutrition: A lack of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins and minerals, can lead to weak hair that breaks and splits more easily. A healthy diet with sufficient nutrients is essential for the overall health of your hair.

5. Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty, pregnancy or menopause, can affect the structure and texture of your hair. This can result in dryness and brittleness, causing split ends.

Preventing split ends often requires a combination of good hair care, avoiding harmful practices and a healthy lifestyle. This can include trimming your hair regularly to remove split ends, using heat-protective products when styling, limiting exposure to harmful environmental factors and ensuring a balanced diet to nourish your hair from within.

How to remove split ends?

The only real way to get rid of split ends quickly is to cut them off. Trim your hair every six to eight weeks to remove split ends before they split up further and cause more damage.

How to repair split ends?

Besides regular trimming, you can also repair split ends with the right care:

• Use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner specifically for damaged hair
• Apply a restorative hair mask weekly
• Use leave-in treatments and hair oils to moisturise your hair
• Avoid heat and always use a heat protection product
