Why do we get split ends?

Question

No matter how moisturized my hair is i still get split end after a month or so. Why is that?

Answer 1

Here are some possibilities and what you can do:

If you don't get a trim at least once a month, you are going to get split ends no matter what you do. I would suggest getting a trim every 3 weeks.

Your hair might be damaged from blow dryers or flat irons. It is never a good idea to use both in one day, or use them on a high heat if your hair is thin. Only apply heat to your hair once a day or less.

If you rub your hair with a towel when it's wet, you will get split ends and frizz! When your hair is wet just wrap it up in a towel for a little bit. Or you can blow dry it with it on a cool setting.

Hope this helps! ^^

Split ends can also be caused by over styling.This can occur through excessive brushing, brushing the hair when wet ,heat styling, hair rubbing on clothes or the use of chemicals on the hair.

Keep hair moisturized with a protein conditioner to strengthen the hairs bonds especially if you use chemicals on the hair like color, perms or relaxers. Most salons offer this service. Get a protein conditioner once a month and use a moisturizing conditioner on a regular basis.
