Split ends make hair look unkept and unsightly. Hair gets damaged from hot curling tongs, towel drying hair, and from coloring. They develop as a result of stress on the hair follicle but with some care and attention you can stop this problem. Here’s how to care for your hair so you eradicate split ends.
Watch the Blow Dryer
Blow dryers are great for adding volume and styling hair but they have a downside. Giving hair a blast of heat from the blow drier leads to damaged hair. To protect your hair, use a heat protectant primer which avoids direct damage. Drying hair with a colder temperature from the dryer helps avoid damage.
Towel Dry with Care
Vigorously rubbing hair dry with a towel can lead to damage and split ends. Change your technique by patting hair dry. This minimizes damage. A hair turban is another effective way to dry hair without causing more damage.
Use a Conditioner
Hair develops split ends when it dries out and then gets damaged. Add a regular conditioner to your beauty regime. This will stimulate the hair follicles as you massage it into your scalp. It adds moisturizer to the hair follicles which prevents split ends developing. An occasional hair mask is another effective way of adding nutrients and moisture to your hair to prevent damage.
Keratin Treatments
If you have really frizzy brittle hair, keratin treatment could be the solution for your split ends. It works by blow drying a large dose of protein into the hair which strengthens the fragile hairs and stops the development of split ends. It also gives your hair a glossy sheen.
Regular Cuts
Keeping your hair in shape is an effective way to reduce split end development. By regularly shaping and trimming your hair, this will remove split ends and keep your hair looking good. Combined with regular conditioning and avoiding direct heat, you can get on top of a split end problem. Visit your hairdresser on a regular basis to keep your hair looking good and in excellent shape.
