Get Rid Of Split Ends
Healthy hair is defined by thick, shiny and bouncing hair without split ends. When most of the feature is accomplished the last one is always at a risk due to one or the other reasons. Read on to know causes and natural home remedies for hair split ends.
Causes
Hair split ends or Trichoptlosis happens when the hair's protective cuticle is stripped away from the ends of hair fibers. It happens when the natural oils from the scalp fail to reach the ends or when cortex loses moisture and the hair begins to unravel like a rope. Other reasons are
• Dry scalp
• Exposure to extreme temperature and chemical products like relaxers and hair colour.
• Lack of nourishment.
• Excessive dying
• Vigorous brushing and backcombing. Use of metallic combs and brushes
• Brushing hair when it is still wet.
• Use of uncovered elastic bands on the hair.
• Use of satin pillows.
• Repeated use of heated appliances like iron or hair blow dryers
Trimming
Once the hair is split the only cure is to trim. So, trim your hair with the help of these guidelines.
• Sit near a natural light source may be near the window or outdoors in the yard to see the split ends properly.
• Take a small section of hair and twist them in a downward motion. This will make the split ends to stick out automatically.
• Use a sharp scissor to snip off the split ends. Make sure you cut the damaged cuticles only. This will also enhance a natural layered effect with a thick bounce.
It will take at least 45 minutes to go all around the head. Do it every six weeks lest the splits will travel up the hair and worsen the damage.
