Split Ends in Hair
October 22, 2008 |12:58 | Hair Care By : Team X
There is no magic solution. All the blow-drying, straightening, coloring and curling breaks down the cuticle 
of your hair, and the strands literally start to come undone. By the time you notice a split end, irreparable damage has already been done. You have two choices: to get regular trims every six to eight weeks or practice aggressive prevention with the steps below:
Comb wet hair gently with a wide-tooth comb, and not with a short one, to prevent damage. Use a soft-bristled brush on dry hair. Invest in an ionic blow-dryer that locks in moisture .Use shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair. Wait at least two weeks between chemical processes. Don't do a perm and a color the same day, for example.
Deep condition your hair at least once a month, and also look for hydrating, leave-in conditioners that can soften the look of split ends. Find styling products with silicone, which is great for smoothing split ends.
Don't be afraid of a trim. Whack off the weak ends and concentrate on making the hair healthier with the steps outlined above. Even if you're growing your hair out, it's a good idea to keep the ends trimmed.
