White dots in hair (not dandruff)?

Question

i was just looking at my hair, and i saw at the ends that there are these little white dots on the tips of the end of my hair. Its not dandruff because I wash my hair every 2 days and I use T/Gel on my scalp because I have psoriasis. Is this a result from flat ironing my hair? Or is this split ends and all I have to do is cut it?
