How to prevent split ends

Updated: Aug 10, 2018


Split ends

Split ends typically begins near the ends of the hair shaft, but can occur anywhere on the hair strand. The scientific explanation is that if the cuticle becomes damaged, the hair becomes vulnerable, cracks and splits. Split ends seem to come out of nowhere; but they probably have been building up on your hair strands for months. It’s easy to get rid of split ends by cutting them off, but it’s important to know what caused them in the first place, so you can prevent them from happening again.


Blow drying hair

Heat Styling

Heat styling from a hairdryer and flat iron removes moisture from the hair. Always use a heat protection product before styling, if possible let your hair dry naturally.

Excessive sun exposure can have the same effect.

UNIKE Ultra Liss Spray - Thermal protector and removes frizz and static.

JUNGLE FEVER Wild Straight - Contains high-temperature resistant, thermal protection.

FEVA Blow Style Cream - Used for moisture, rich protection while blow drying.

Hair bleach

Lightening

Bleaching can cause dry, damaged and brittle hair, that is more prone to breakage and split ends. Going from a dark to a light shade can damage your hair.


Woman washing hair

Daily Shampooing

Shampoo strips away your hair’s natural oils; use a natural shampoo free of sulfates and parabens. Shampoos with sulfates dries the hair and make it prone to split ends and breakage.

Brushing Wet Hair

Brushing wet hair can create damage. Always use a wide-tooth comb and de-tangling product.

Invest In A Hair Mask

Treat your hair by adding a mask rich in moisture and hydration. This is especially important if you have colour-treated, bleached hair or you do a ton of heat styling.

Sometimes even the most damaged strands can’t be saved. Make sure to get regular trims, every four to six weeks, to encourage healthy hair.


Give Your Hair A Holiday

Heat, colour, bleaching and chemical treatments can damage your hair over time. I suggest taking a break to allow your hair to recover.

Products With Argan Oil

Argan oil adds shine and moisture to hair. Shampoos, conditioners and masks with a fair amount of argan oil, are useful in treating split ends.

Supplements

Take supplements that strengthen the hair. Nutrients are the life of your hair; folic acid and biotin have been shown to assist with hair health, length and thickness.


Heat Protection

Always use a heat-protective spray, before styling. Heat protection will minimize the damage caused by heat styling from flat irons and hair dryers.
