8 tricks to take care of your ends

Why do the tips split?

Split ends appear when the hair cuticle has been damaged.

The cuticles are like scales that, when closed, protect the structure of the hair and give it a healthy and shiny appearance, since, on the smooth strand, the light falls and bounces better; but, when these open, the hair becomes weak and brittle and the ends are damaged more easily, that is when we use hairdressing products to take care of it and clean it up.

Causes of hair thinning

There are multiple causes that cause the appearance of unpleasant split ends, such as external agents, abuse of the iron or dryer, poor diet, lack of sanitation of the hair (cutting it periodically), among others.

Prevention and solutions

The most important thing is to know that this problem can be avoided.

– Cut the tips periodically to clean them up (every month and a half or two months).

– Do not abuse irons and dryers . In the case of using them, always apply a thermal protector for the hair. Place the dryer at a distance of about 30 cm from the hair and combine hot and cold air.

– Avoid frequent exposure to chemical treatments, such as bleaching. In case we have to treat it chemically, compensate for the dryness with moisturizing and repairing products for the hair.

– Use good hair products to take care of it and prevent split ends .

– Brush the hair gently. It is best to use wide-toothed combs and brushes.

– Eat foods rich in fatty acids, vitamin H or B7 (biotin) and iron to strengthen hair.

– Beware of the razor cuts of the parade looks. They can “skew” the strand and favor the appearance of damaged ends.

– Protect hair from exposure to the sun or chlorine with hair products with sun protection.
