Do split ends cause knots or knots cause split ends?

Answer 1

Neither. Split ends are caused by dryness usually. So bleaching your hair, using straightners and just generally not taking care properly will cause split ends, or more correctly make them worse. Pretty much everyone has them.

You can't buy any products that will get rid of split ends, except scissors, but you can buy preventitive products. If you have split ends just moisturise. If your hair is moisturised and soft you should also get less knots.

Answer 2

you get a knot in your hair. you yank thru it with a comb. this causes split ends. don't believe me? pull out a hair from the root of your head and pull it apart. look at the ends from which it was pulled. it's curled up like a ribbon and thin on the very end. add heat and it will split.

now , imagine that you just pulled out a tangle from your hair. imagine all the hairs you just yanked on broke off into those little curls and ribbons. all the curls and ribbons are mixed in with all the long straight ones making them twist and tangle around them.
(imagine a pile of packages with lots of ribbons. what would happen if the ribbons in a pile of packages got tangled together?)

both.

Answer 3

Both are not correct. Unhealthy hair cause splitneds. it may also cause knots.
