To an end to the annoying split ends!

Split ends is the condition that happens when the hair splits at the end into two or three strands. The split strands can be as long as two to three centimeters in length. The best treatment is to cut the split end completely. Normally this happens in dry or brittle hair and the typical causes of this is either excessive colouring of the hair or even vigorous brushing.

I am sure all of us with long hair has faced this at some point in life. This is specially irritating when we are trying to grow our hair as these are annoying hindrances to the growth and the beauty of the hair.

So how do we remove them? Try these to ensure continuous growth of healthy hair:

1.Take small sections of hair and carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion.

2.Any split ends will automatically stick out.

3.Carefully snip into the twist with sharp scissors. Don’t cut right through; just cut into the thickness to remove the damaged cuticles and give a natural layered effect.

4.Be careful to cut roughly the same amount from each twist.

Are split ends preventable? Yes certainly. Follow the follwing steps to prevent hair from splitting:

1.It’s best to use a wide tooth comb if your hair is vulnerable to splitting.

2.If possible allow hair to dry naturally. You can use dryer once a while.

3.Minimize tangling. There’s detangle spray available in the store. Another way is using conditioner.

4.If you’re using hair color take caution with chemicals. They can make your hair weak and cause split ends.
