Split ends? Here's how to save them and prevent them from forming again!

Is your hair looking dry, with split ends , and every attempt to grow it out ends in frustration? Split ends are a problem that almost everyone with longer hair knows. They make your hair look unkempt, cause it to lose its bounce, and cause it to frizz more quickly. But don't worry – there's a solution!

You don't have to constantly trim your hair and sacrifice length to keep it looking healthy. The key to success lies in proper care.

In this post, you'll learn why split ends occur, how to prevent them, and how to save them if the problem already exists. We'll show you effective methods and products that will nourish and protect your hair—so 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 appear weak? Here are some common reasons:

• Aggressive washing and styling – frequent use of straighteners or curling irons can dry out hair and make it brittle. Harsh detergents in shampoos and intense friction during washing can also damage the hair's lipid barrier.
• 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.
• A deficiency in emollients and proteins —these form the hair's natural barrier. Their absence causes hair ends to become brittle more quickly.
• Lack of regular trimming – split ends won't heal on their own. Unfortunately, there's no magic glue that will glue them back together. If you don't trim them regularly, the problem will only get worse.
  
  *Remember not to hold on to splits, as any damage will only build up.
  
  
• Bad hair care habits – sleeping with wet hair, rubbing it vigorously with a towel, tight updos – all of these weaken it.
• Inadequate diet – a 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 for a solution!

How to prevent split ends?

1. Choose gentle shampoos

Shampoo is the first step in hair care – if you choose the wrong one, your hair will quickly lose moisture and elasticity. Avoid products with harsh detergents (e.g., SLS), which can further dry out your strands. Instead, choose Long & Shiny Shampoo for Long Hair – its gentle formula cleanses hair effectively without damaging its natural protective barrier. Thanks to plant-based ingredients, it strengthens the length of your hair and prevents breakage .

*Remember that we wash the scalp with shampoo (preferably twice), and only apply the foam to the lengths.

2. Moisturize and nourish

Every wash should end with a conditioner application – it's the foundation of hair care if you want to avoid split ends. Long & Shiny Conditioner for Long Hair smooths, seals hair cuticles, and prevents frizz . Thanks to its natural ingredients, it intensely moisturizes and makes strands stronger and more flexible.

*If your hair gets tangled, conditioner will make it easier to comb.

3. Oiling your hair – the key to healthy ends

Oiling is one of the best ways to regenerate and protect hair ends. Just an hour of oil treatment before washing makes hair more flexible and resistant to damage. Nutrition Sweet Almond Oil Butter is the perfect choice for this treatment – ​​rich in sweet almond oil, it intensely moisturizes, nourishes, and strengthens hair ends. Regular use makes hair more resistant to breakage and split ends.

4. Secure the ends

If your hair is particularly demanding, it needs extra protection. Our Raspberry Shampoo and Conditioner combine three precious oils: raspberry seed, argan, and macadamia , which act as a protective shield for your hair. The shampoo gently cleanses and strengthens, while the conditioner deeply regenerates, leaving your ends smooth and full of life.

5. Trim regularly

While regular trimming won't completely prevent split ends, it's an absolutely essential step to maintaining long-term hair health. Even the best hair care regimen won't replace trimming split ends that have already become damaged. Remember, regular trims are also a great way to maintain a fuller hairline.

Caring for your hair isn't just about choosing the right products, but also taking care of yourself from the inside out . A healthy, nutritious diet, drinking adequate water, and minimizing stress have a huge impact on the condition of your hair. It's worth remembering that beautiful hair is the result of comprehensive care—both external and internal. To care for yourself and your hair, ensure balance, peace, and a daily dose of health—not just for your hair, but for your entire body.
