Split Ends vs Healthy Hair: Understanding Hair Damage And How To Control It

Everyone wants healthy hair that has volume and looks shiny, but certain factors can cause hair to become dry and dull. It is very important to understand what leads to hair damage and learn simple ways to prevent it at home.



Split ends shows when one notice rough texture, increased tangles, dullness and frayed or forked ends. Some signs are:

• Split Ends: When the strands of hair at the end split into two or more pieces, often in a ''V'' or ''Y'' shape.
• Increased Tangling: Spit ends weakens the cuticle layer making the strands more prone to getting knotted.
• Rough and bumpy texture: If the hair feels rough or have bumpy texture instead of being smooth.

Healthy and strong hair can be noticed from afar. If the hair feels and appears shiny, it is generally a sign of a well- nourished cuticle and a healthy scalp.

Healthy hair will have good volume and a little bounce that has natural fullness and movement. Healthy hair have even texture that have consistent pattern along the hair shaft.



Some simple ways to keep hair healthy at home involves:

• Get regular trims: Getting a trim after every 6-8 weeks to cut off split ends before they can travel to the hair shaft and can cause further damage.
• Gentle Washing: Pat hair dry gently with a towel instead of extensively rubbing. Also, avoid over brushing especially with wet hair and use wide tooth comb to detangle from the tips upwards.
• Hydrate and moisturize: Regularly condition the hair, and apply mask to prevent dryness.
• Use protective measures: Sleep on silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

Healthy hair gives confidence in ourselves so, it is our responsibility to keep it healthy.
