In split ends, the ends split, it is noticeable even visually - they are stiff, the hair breaks and gets tangled, it becomes dull and lifeless. Long hair has the most difficulty - they inevitably exfoliate at the ends under the influence of numerous external factors. With a length of more than 30 cm, the cuticle experiences an increased load, and the internal structure of the hair is destroyed. This happens as if the horny flakes "are loosening up" - exfoliate and are removed from the hair shaft. Hair may be damaged in length. If this is noticeable and the tips are a bit lighter in appearance - it's time to make masks for split ends.
The main reasons why hair is split
The causes of hair changes are the presence of stress factors in hair care, hair styling, prolonged exposure to the sun, sea wind. Drying of hair and loss of lubrication are promoted by perm, frequent dyeing and bleaching, exposure to hot air from a hair dryer, the use of inappropriate shampoos, soaps and so on. If you haven’t looked after your hair for a long time or made masks for split ends, brittle hair may cause hairpins and elastic bands to be worn incorrectly, for example, with a ponytail.
Split Hair Treatment
If the hair begins to cut, the first and most extreme help is to cut the ends. But it does not guarantee that this will not happen again, so it is necessary to use medicinal restorative shampoos, including a large amount of vitamin B, lecithin, chamomile, linden blossom, wheat germ. A good effect is given by masks for split ends from medicinal products. Combing your hair is better with a comb with rare cloves.
The ends of the hair need to be lubricated with a special balm for split ends, which creates a protective film and restores them from the inside. Plant-based proteins make hair light, fill all gaps, and the nutrients of medicinal products strengthen and nourish the hair. It is best to cut the ends once every 6-8 weeks, and with very long hair - once a month. In hairdressing salons, special “hot” scissors are used that can seal the ends of the hair.
