Split ends, we all suffer from them at some point.  If you look closely at your hair, you can often see them. Read this blog post about treating split ends, the causes, and the hair care products that can help you repair them.

What causes split ends?

Split ends occur when the outer layer of your hair is damaged. After damage, the inner layer is no longer protected, causing it to dry out. Split ends can have several causes. Below are the most common ones:

Cause 1: Washing too often

Split ends are often caused by washing your hair too often. After washing, your hair feels fresh and clean because it's stripped of its natural oils. This isn't a problem, unless you wash it too often. In that case, washing can lead to breakage or damage, especially at the sensitive ends.

Cause 2: Excessive sunlight or heat

Split ends can also be caused by heat and sun exposure, for example, on vacation. The sun's UV rays cause your hair to dry out, break, and split. Therefore, try to limit sun exposure if possible. For example, on a beach vacation, bring a cap or hat to protect not only your face but also your hair. If you're going to be in the sun a lot, use Volume Oil ; this oil protects your hair from heat and is also ideal for straightening or curling.

Cause 3: Using the wrong hair care products

We know it! Choosing the right care products is definitely important for your hair. Every hair type is unique. For dry hair, use a shampoo specifically formulated for your hair type, with the right ingredients. See the bottom of this blog post for the products we recommend for split ends.

Reason 4: Not going to the hairdresser regularly

You think, the longer I wait to cut my hair, the longer it will grow. Nothing could be further from the truth. A common cause of split ends is not cutting them often enough. If left untreated for too long, split ends can spread further and cause damage higher up in your hair. So, visit your hairdresser in time!
