Wondering how to get rid of split ends?
When the hair strand is split or fractured, the only solution to restore a healthy fiber is a visit to your hair stylist for a trim. Once neatly cut off, however, you can start your prevention plan.
Split ends are caused by the weakening of the hair shaft and the splitting of the fiber, therefore prevention comes in the form of damage avoidance and control, as well as an adapted hair care routine to keep the hair shaft moisturized and supple. Pro Longer from Serie Expert is a range specifically formulated with amino acids, which are proteins that can help protect the hair from future damage.
An often-unknown cause of split ends or damage to the hair is towel drying and harsh brushing.
Rubbing against the hair too roughly can weaken the cuticles and even break the fiber. Instead, it is recommended to squeeze out excess moisture using an old cotton t-shirt before blow-drying on a low heat, and using a wide paddle brush only once hair has begun to dry. For essential detangling, a wide-toothed comb with a detangling spray can help minimize damage and breakage. This lightweight multi-benefit spray will help to detangle fine hair prone to knots, enhance shine and leave hair supple and full of vitality.
Heat is also a culprit that can result in split ends.
Heat damage is one of the major causes of split ends and fly-aways because, when too high, it breaks the chemical bonds, which normally provide strength to the hair fiber. This is why professionals recommend you avoid using curling irons and straighteners where possible, always apply a heat protectant, and turn your hairdryer to its lowest temperature. Mythic Oil Original has added heat protection of up to 230°C – infused with Argan Oil, it will add shine and radiance to hair, whilst its lightweight formula is ideal for detangling wet hair. For long hair suffering from thinned ends, Pro Longer Renewing Blow Dry Cream for lengths and ends, helps renew the fiber instantly and protects hair from heat up to 230°C. Its professional formula leaves the hair fiber feeling strong and shiny and ideal to use before styling.
