What are the possible causes?
The problems of split ends are mainly affected by those who do not regularly cut their hair. In general, they are adherents of long hair. Hair constantly grows and when they reach a certain length protective layers of hair, cuticles, are destroyed, as a result of the structure (fibers) of the inner layers of hair are stratified. Most often it touches the ends of the hair, but the hair may well be segregated along the entire length. Usually, the split tip reaches 2-3 cm, in addition, it is lighter than the rest of the hair. The secant tip is the result of either chemical or physical stress on the hair. Among the most common causes are the following: meager food, stress, slow metabolism, hormonal imbalance and individual infections. But you must remember that if you do not heal, the condition of the hair will only noticeably deteriorate.
How to overcome the problems of split ends?
The best way to influence split hair is to keep the tips in order, but this will not solve the problem completely anyway, since the hair can "diverge" at different levels. Partial solutions are temporary strengthening of split ends with the help of special air conditioners. It is applied to the ends of clean hair, resulting in the hair being covered with the thinnest film and becoming smoother.
1. Carefully review your diet. It often happens that the hair is cut due to a lack of essential fatty acids, so pay attention to the diet. It must necessarily be a fatty fish, and if you can not stand it, then just gnaw nuts.
2. Always use the cool mode when using a hair dryer. The flow of cold air softens and moisturizes the hair that is doused. A hair dryer with hot air streams dries the hair, making it more brittle and thinner.
3. Avoid hair-fixing means and shampoos containing alcohol, as it dries the hair, and they become more fragile and need to be treated.
4. Study relaxation techniques if the poor condition of the hair is caused by stress.
5. Drink more fluids, since water supports the hair in a tone and moisturizes them from the inside.
6. Reduce your hair color. Paint, no matter how expensive and quality it was, still dries the hair, making them more brittle, so treating the hair becomes more difficult.
