“Invest in your hair; it is the crown you never take off.”
Split ends need no introduction, as they certainly are not a modish term for anyone. Medically referred to as ‘trichoptilosis’ or ‘schizotrichia’ split ends are fixable by a visit to the hairdresser and a quick nip with scissors still it is imperative to understand what triggers them and what are their prevention techniques as they can be menacingly destructive if treatment is not initiated when required!
What are split ends?
In simple terms, they refer to the fraying and splitting of the hair strand into two anywhere in the hair, though visibly noticeable at the ends of the strand.
Though split ends are considered more or less routine, they are an indication that your hair is unhealthy, dry and on the damaging end. For starters, they build up unnoticeably, as frayed ends here and there, but suddenly they may inundate your hair completely, breaking throughout your hair strands resulting in frizzy hair.
The only remedy is to spring up on your feet when you glimpse one and take to a hairdresser to save your hair from severe brittleness and your mind from bouts of anxiety.
What are the causes of split ends?
Genetics plays a significant role in the materialization of split ends, but several other contingent factors stimulate its growth. Let’s take a look at these causes:
- Negligent Routine
Washing your hair with hot water, brushing those tangles when they are still wet, putting hair up to dry still tied in a towel and sleeping at night with hair in a clutch are all unknowing instigators, causing split ends and hair breakage.
- Applying heating tools
Heat damage can cause excessive hair loss. Recurrent use of hairdryers, pressing irons, and hot rollers can rip off your hair from its naturally embedded moisture, making them vulnerable and more prone to split ends.
- Chemically treating your hair
Any chemical treatment on hair, bleaching or dying can result in physical damage to the hair as they weaken its natural strength and make it susceptible to split ends.
- Bogus hair products
Using shampoos, hair oils, and moisturizers made with chemicals and alcohols can cause alarming adverse effects on your hair and can be a source of increased hair loss and split ends. Shampoos and hair oils by Style Aromatherapy are not infused with chemically treated substances thus are safe and ideal for any hair problem.
- Environmental damage
Environmental factors such as excessive exposure to the sun or humidity in the atmosphere can also rid your hair of their moisture causing dryness. The hair invariably becomes more vulnerable to split ends.
- Intake of a diet lacking nutrition
Vitamin deficiencies and poor nutritional diet play a dormant yet significant role in the health of your hair. They can result in hair loss and dry scalp, thereby inducing split ends.
