Haircare Essentials: Understanding, Preventing, and Treating Split Ends

1. Over-washing
Over-washing is defined as three or more times a week. Every wash strips out more of your hair’s much-needed natural oils.
 
2. Rough handling while wet or tangled
Water-logged hair is weak hair that is especially prone to breakage and split ends. 
 
3. Excessive use of hot styling tools
No matter how cute your style, frequent use of hot tools is a ticket to damaged hair.
 
4. Chemical treatments
More culprits of split ends: hair dyes, perm treatments and straightening chemicals. They zap moisture from your hair and can lead to breakage.

• Step 1: Hydrate Often
  Between trims, keep your hair hydrated to prevent damage by choosing the best shampoo and conditioner for your type of hair.
• Step 2: Use A Hair Mask
  Do weekly hair masks for deep conditioning. A nourishing mask like Honey Treasures Repairing Mask will minimize the split-end vibe.
• Step 3: Change Your Towel
  Common terry towels cause friction that weakens your ends. Instead, gently wring hair after a shower, then wrap in a clean cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel.
• Step 4: Gently Detangle
  Go easy when detangling hair. Use a wide-toothed comb and target stubborn knots with a detangler like Pure Clean Detangler.
• Step 5: Air-Dry
  Split ends are one response to hot tools. Opt to air-dry your hair for silky, healthy locks, and use leave-in treatments like 10-in-1 Miracle Nectar to smooth and soothe.
• Step 6: Use Hot Tools on Special Occasions
  When using styling tools, apply a repairing serum such as Hair Honey Repairing Serum or heat protection like Flat Iron Perfector Mist.
