split ends?

Question

please what is the cause of split ends, what damage does it do to the hair, and how can i prevent it, or get rid of it??

Answer 1

split ends are caused by damage done to the hair by overuse of heated appliances,over exposure to the sun etc.Unfortunately the only way to get rid of them properly is to have the ends trimmed regularly.There are products which will help temporarily and make hair look better, but wont totally get rid of them.My advice is let hair dry naturally whenever possible, limit use of heated styling appliances and use a good leave in conditioner, preferably one reccommende by a salon, as they are far superior to anything you can buy in a shop.

Answer 2

* STEP 1: Take care not to split them in the first place, because the only cure is a trim, according to trichologists (hair doctors) everywhere.
* STEP 2: Don't brush hair when it's wet, because that's when it is at its most vulnerable.
* STEP 3: Cool it on the heat styling tricks. That means cut down on hair dryers, straightening irons, crimpers, curling irons and hot curlers.
* STEP 4: Buy a natural-bristle brush that won't pull on hair and ultimately break it off, thereby causing a possible split end.
* STEP 5: Wear a hat to minimise sun damage.
* STEP 6: Use a shampoo that lists sunscreen as a major ingredient.
* STEP 7: Condition after shampooing, and use a deep conditioner once a month.
* STEP 8: Try a hair split repair product. It won't actually repair the hair, but it will minimise the stray hair look you hate.
* STEP 9: Get a trim every six weeks.

Tips & Warnings

* Treat your hair as the fragile living thing it is; don't twirl, tug or abuse it.
* A satin pillow case will minimize tangles.
* Always use coated or covered rubber bands.
* When you swim, wear a swim cap to protect your hair from harsh chlorine.
* Learning preventative care is a must.
* Too many products, treatments and fussy hairdos won't do your hair any good. Overdying and drying it are the main culprits.

Split ends are quite normal and will happen if you do not have your hair cut on a regular basis. I suspect that you have long hair.

You can lessen the effect if you use a conditioner with your shampoo. There are conditioners being sold that will tell you that they will stop split ends - try them at your peril!

If you want to grow your hair long then use one of the wax treatments. The only real alternative is to have your hair cut on a regular basis.

Split ends do not cause damage to the hair, the hair is already damaged!

Answer 4

Split ends can be caused by many different things. For example, if you use a flat iron and burn you hair, there is a chance that you could recieve split ends. Split ends dont do any damamge to your hair, except make your hair look awful. You can prevent split ends by puting deep conditioning regularaly on your hair, especially on your ends. You cna get rid of split ends by chopping them off, that is the only sure way to get rid of them.
Hope this helps =)

Answer 5

For split ends, try trimming it for 1 or 2 inches that will help. To make your hair much more stronger, you have to try applying hair oil whenever you're free and wash it off after 2 or 3 hours. Prefer a good standard shampoo and conditioner as well. I hope that solves that problem :D
Cheers.
