Top Tips To Avoid Split Ends

Split ends are the bane of many hairstylists, simply because when they become noticeable the only way to truly get rid of them is to snip them off.

Like with many of life’s problems, the best way to avoid split ends is to stop them happening in the first place and avoid having to trim your hair to get rid of them.

How Do Split Ends Form?

Split ends are where the hair strand frays at the bottom of the hair follicle. This leads to rather dry, brittle and frayed ends that make your hair look wild and uncontrollable.

Typically this is caused by damage to the hair follicle, which can happen for a range of reasons. Knowing these will help you avoid them forming quite as often.

Hot And Cold

The winter weather is not very kind on your hair, not just because of the cold winds affecting your hair but coming back into the warm.

As well as this, using hair straighteners, curlers and blow-dryers can also cause damage. Booking a professional treatment at an Essex blow-dry salon will help reduce this, as they help to keep your hair healthy whilst it is being treated.

When at home, make sure to use a heat protectant whenever you dry your hair.

Be Gentle

When we are in a rush it can be incredibly tempting to be a bit rough when we brush and towel dry our hair. However, the abrasive rubbing and pulling can itself exacerbate our split ends.

Chemical Treatments

Hair colourings, as well as relaxers and perms, can cause mayhem to our hair when not correctly applied, so if you are unsure what to do, make sure to go to a professional salon.
