What is the cause of split ends?

Hit is not cut, the hair can grow to a length of 40 to 80 cms. During its long stay on the scalp, the hair is exposed to innumerable physical and chemical traumas: combing and brushing, shampooing, weathering and chemical treatments. These factors
are all the more damaging to hair because hair is a dead structure that lacks the power of self-repair. The cumulative effect of all these injuries is the gradual wearing down of the cuticle scales - these are totally lost at the tips of the hair andthis resultsin split ends.
What can we do about split ends?

Though we cannot refrain from injuring our hair, careful grooming of the hair is likely to delay the appearance of splits’: avoid rubber bands, spiky brushes and combs; avoid combing wet hair. Conditioners protect the ‘hair against physical injury to some extent, so use them regularly. Once splits have appeared, it is a good idea to trim off the straggly ends to give a healthy appearance to the hair.
