7 causes for split ends

Have you been struggling with split ends in your hair but don’t know why? Perhaps you should know about these reasons:

Perming, Straightening or Curling

Appliances which work to achieve perming, straightening or curling work mainly by heating your hair to give it the shape you desire. But they also end up sucking the natural moisture out of hair follicles, leaving your locks dry and brittle. This causes split ends.

Rebonding

Another process is called re-bonding in which, your hair is exposed to chemicals for over three hours. The chemical overload in this can also cause split ends.

Blow drying:   The hot air from the blow dryer sucks the natural moisture in your hair and causes split ends.

Highlights and hair colouring: Chemicals damage the natural chemical composition of your hair and colouring your hair very often and with poor quality colours can cause split ends.

Excessive or strong shampoos: Always use mild shampoos meant for your hair type. Don’t experiment with shampoos too often. And while washing your hair, use shampoo only on your scalp, not on your hair. Using the wrong type of shampoo or using too much can make your hair rough, brittle and cause split ends.

Brushing or combing: Comb your hair gently and never when wet. Vigorous drying and combing is the most common reason for split ends.

Genetics: For some, hair with split ends is just a genetic problem. Called Trichorrhexis nodosa, this condition causes a defect in the hair shaft. So the hair is thick at some points and thin at others. This uneven texture causes it to break easily.

What vitamins are good for hair loss?

If your part is expanding or the thickness of your ponytail is shrinking, you’re likely thinking (okay, panicking) that your hair is falling out, but that’s not always the case; thinning may be the culprit. “The diameter of the hair shaft diminishes as we get older,” explains Zoe Draelos, M.D., clinical associate professor of dermatology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. That means you may have the same number of follicles, but thinner individual strands will make it look like there’s less volume. (They’re also more prone to break, and since hair growth slows as you age, the damage becomes more obvious.)               Even if you do see extra hairs in your brush or in the shower drain, you don’t necessarily need to worry. Although 40 percent of women experience some hair loss by menopause, shedding around 100 strands a day is normal, reports Paul M. Friedman, M.D., clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. If you seem to be losing more, see your doctor — the problem could be related to declining estrogen levels, an iron deficiency, or stress. Once these problems have been ruled out, a 2 percent minoxidil solution (available over the counter as Rogaine) is an option. “It’s the only clinically proven, FDA-approved treatment for female pattern baldness,” says Dr. Draelos. In the meantime, although you can’t permanently restore heft to the individual strands, there are plenty of ways to boost overall volume. Start with a volumizing shampoo; look for ingredients like rice or wheat proteins, which thicken strands.
