You don't have to keep trimming your hair and giving up on its length to make it look healthy. The key to success lies in proper care. In this post, you will learn why split ends occur, how to prevent it, and how to save them if the problem has already occurred. We will show you effective methods and cosmetics that will nourish and protect your hair - so that you can enjoy its healthy appearance and beautiful shine every day.

Why do hair ends split?

To effectively combat a problem, you must first understand its causes.

What causes hair to start splitting and looking weak? Here are some of the most common reasons:

• Aggressive washing and styling – frequent use of a straightener or curling iron can dry out the strands and make them brittle. Strong detergents in shampoos, intense friction during washing can also damage the lipid layer of the hair.
• Frequent hairdressing treatments – chemical treatments such as dyeing, bleaching or permanent waves can weaken the natural protective barrier of hair, making it more susceptible to splitting.
• Lack of moisture and nourishment – ​​if hair is not properly moisturized, nourished and protected, it becomes dry, brittle and susceptible to damage.
• Lack of emollients and proteins – these are the ones that create the hair’s natural barrier. Their absence causes the ends to break more quickly.
• Not trimming regularly – Split ends will not heal on their own. Unfortunately, there is no magic glue that will glue them back together. If you do not trim them regularly, the problem will get worse.
  
  *Remember not to hold on to splits, as any splits will only grow stronger.
• Bad hair care habits – sleeping with wet hair, rubbing it hard with a towel, wearing tight updos – all of these weaken it.
• Inadequate diet – lack of vitamins, minerals and appropriate fats in the diet can affect the condition of the hair, making it weaker and more prone to damage.
  

Now that you know where the problem is coming from, it's time to solve it!
