HOW TO GET RID OF SPLIT ENDS
Plagued with split ends? Even if you don’t dye or chemically treat your hair, everyday blow drying and styling can do their worst, drying out your hair. And whether it’s thick and wavy, super curly or straight and on the thin side, very dry hair often means that split ends aren’t far away.
Of course, a trim is the most effective way to get rid of split ends, but there are things you can do now (hint: starting with a split-ends serum) to improve the appearance of those forked tips, and to prevent broken ends in the future. Read on to find out how to put an end to those crunchy, split hairs and get back to healthy, shiny, manageable hair.
WHY DO I HAVE SPLIT ENDS?
Just like First, let’s look at the science behind the dry, damaged hair that leads to split ends. Just like with your body, when your hair is nutrition-deficient, things start to go wrong. When hair is healthy, the cuticle – the outer envelope of the hair shaft – lies flat and smooth, and hair is soft, shiny and manageable, right down to the tips. In addition to the cuticle, the lipids that coat the cuticle also protect the hair fiber from external damage that leads to damaged, split ends and broken hair.
Over time, hair loses its substance – lipids and proteins – eroding the protective layer and chapping the cuticles. In its malnourished, weakened state, your dry hair is even more susceptible to damage from external aggressions like changes in the weather, chemical treatments and heat styling. It looks rough and dull and feels dry and brittle. And from there, split ends aren’t far away!
THE SOLUTION TO SPLIT ENDS? NUTRIENTS!
Just like you give your body the essential nutrients it needs to stay strong and healthy, you can do the same with your hair. Hair that isn’t properly nourished is vulnerable to external damage, so do your hair a favor and put it on a new hair diet that fights nutrient deficiency. And split ends!
