STOP THE SPLITS
Ever heard of trichoptilosis? It’s trichologist speak for ‘split ends’ when strands well, split at the ends, giving that unsightly feathery effect. The best defence against split ends is to trim and prevent.
The only way to get rid of unsightly split ends is to cut it. But never do it on your own – you’ll risk looking like a badly pruned shrub. Be sure to go to a professional hairstylist and get it trimmed neatly once every two months.
Hair is most prone to splitting when brushed right after washing as that’s when it’s most vulnerable. Instead, use a wide-toothed comb as it will not put on as much tension on your hair as a brush would.
Styling tools such as blow-dryers, hot curler, curling irons and flat irons should be used sparingly as the intense heat dries up the hair cuticles thus making it more susceptible to breakage. Make it a habit to apply leave-in conditioner followed by styling products with heat protection before using those tools.
