Why does hair split?
The causes of fragility and split ends may be negative impacts which cause frequent hair coloring and bleaching, perms and hot styling using power tools. But even those women who do not use curling irons, straighteners or hair dryers are not immune to this problem.
The condition of hair is affected by the environmental situation, which in most large cities leaves much to be desired, as well as natural factors: scorching sun rays, sea water, strong wind or frost, especially if you are used to walking without a hat. Even hot air near heating appliances and hard tap water have their effect, drying out curls and making them unruly.
TO external factors added stress that the body often experiences, lack of vitamins, unbalanced nutrition and lack of proper care. And, as a result, the hair shafts begin to exfoliate, which leads to the formation of split ends. Hair can flake not only at the ends, but also along the entire length, which looks very unattractive and can ruin even the most beautiful hairstyle.
Helping curls
There are many tools available today to solve this problem. Of course, you can simply shorten your hair a couple of centimeters, but this temporary measure will not help solve the problem completely if its cause lies “from within.” Without proper care, after a while, the hair shafts will begin to flake again and their ends will split again.

Any brand of product for the care of split ends should contain components designed to solve exactly this problem. Only then will the use of balms, serums and masks for split ends give quick results - when choosing a product, you need to pay attention not only to the name and popularity of the manufacturer, but also to the beneficial ingredients that are stated in the product:
- Ceramides are wax-like substances that eliminate damage to the hair shafts. They smooth out the hair scales, strengthen their adhesion and prevent flaking.
- Chitosan is a product obtained from the shells of inhabitants of the deep sea. It is widely known for its moisture-retaining and antistatic properties. Chitosan renews the hair structure and reduces its fragility.
