introduction

Split ends are one of the most common problems that make hair look "thin and damaged," even if hair loss is normal. Many people focus only on the scalp and forget that split ends are caused by hair breaking at the tips due to weakness.

In this article we explain the causes of split ends, how to treat them with a realistic plan, and the best routine to protect the ends and reduce frizz within 4 weeks.

What is hair breakage?

It is a break and splitting at the ends of the hair (split ends), and it often appears as follows:

• Rough and cracked edges
• Hishan continues
• The feeling that the hair "doesn't grow" because the ends break

The most important causes of hair breakage

1) Heat (hair dryer/curling iron/straightener)

Repeated heat weakens the hair's protective layer, causing it to break easily.

2) Dyes and chemicals

Oxygen and harsh chemicals draw out moisture and increase hair fragility.

3) Dryness and lack of hydration

Not using conditioner/mask causes hair to lose its elasticity and begin to break.

4) Incorrect combing, especially when wet

Hair is weaker when wet, and harsh combing breaks it.

5) Rubbing the hair with a towel

It dries out the hair and increases breakage.

7) Sun and dry air
