Some hair types are more prone to split ends than others. Here’s how to know if your hair is one of them.

Split ends are a common problem for many people, but what makes one person more prone to split ends than another? There are several factors that may contribute to your hair’s susceptibility to this common problem.

We created our Ellatu Silky Touch hair repair system to provide you with solutions for split ends no matter what is causing them.

You can easily fix split ends as you wash and style your hair with our luxurious collection of hair care products. Knowing how susceptible your hair type is to split ends can help you determine the best hair care routine for your needs.

When your hair is healthy, it is strong, soft, and shiny. It’s more manageable too.

Healthy hair can withstand most of the stress you place on it. That includes heat, chemicals, and environmental factors like pollution or UV radiation from the sun.

If you want to keep your hair healthy, you should use a treatment that can address those factors.

What Causes Split Ends?

Your hair can become dry or damaged when it loses moisture. Dryness is a common problem for many people, especially in winter. And not only can dryness make your hair look dull and lifeless, but it can also lead to split ends if you don’t take care of it properly.

Bleach-damaged hair.

When you bleach your hair, it can become dry or damaged. This is because bleach breaks down the hair structure, making it more prone to split ends.
You may have noticed that after bleaching your hair, it looks dull and lifeless.

That’s because the damage caused by bleaching hurts your hair’s ability to retain moisture. The result is dry, frizzy hair that lacks shine and is way more prone to split ends.

So, if you want to keep your blonde color looking good and prevent split ends from forming in the first place, make sure to give your locks plenty of TLC!

Treat your hair with a deep conditioner. Apply a hydrating mask at least once a week.

Heat Damaged Hair

Heat styling tools, such as flat irons, blow dryers, and curling irons, are some of the biggest culprits when it comes to damaging hair.

These tools suck out the moisture from your strands and cause split ends. You can repair this damage by using a nourishing conditioner on your ends whenever you wash your hair. Doing this will help make sure that they stay healthy!

Hair Type Affects How Prone It Is to Split Ends.

Depending on the type of hair you have, you may be more or less prone to split ends. Make sure you know what type of hair you have and how split ends affect it. Treat your hair right so you can avoid split ends as much as possible.

Curly and thick hair are most prone to split ends.

• Thick hair is characterized by a high diameter and low density, meaning that it contains lots of keratin (protein) molecules in each strand of hair, which makes it more difficult for the ends of your strands to absorb moisture.
• Coarse, curly hair has a lot of kinks in it, which can cause the ends to fray and become weak over time. It also tends to be drier than other types of hair due to its high porosity. Curly hair loses water just as easily as it absorbs it!

Bleached blonde and heat-styled hair are prone to split ends too.

• Bleach lightens your hair by penetrating the outer layer of your strands and breaking down your hair’s keratin structure. It strips your hair of its pigment, known as melanin, as well as its ability to retain moisture, leaving it a dry and frizzy mess.
• Heat tools suck all the moisture right out of your hair. If you overuse them, you can dry your hair out to the extreme. The dryness will make your hair incredibly dull, brittle, and fragile. That means your hair will be more likely to have split ends.

Your age may determine whether or not your hair is prone to split ends.

• As you age, your hair structure weakens and is more susceptible to damage. Hair grows slower and is more prone to breakage or split ends. This can be caused by environmental factors such as harsh chemicals, heat-styling tools, or improper care.
• When you’re older and your hair begins to thin out (due to genetics), you may notice that dryness becomes more prominent on your scalp. This dryness could result in split ends more easily than when you were younger.

Environmental Factors Can Cause Split Ends

Your hair type isn’t the only reason you may be experiencing split ends. Here are some common reasons that cause split ends regardless of your hair type.

• Using harsh shampoos and cleansers on your scalp
• Chemical treatments such as bleach, dyes, perms, or relaxers.
• Separating and detangling your hair with a comb or brush that is too wide
• You use too much heat from styling tools like curling irons, flat irons, or blow dryers.
• Exposure to sunlight without proper protection against UV rays can accelerate the aging process in our strands.

As your hair gets longer, it becomes even more vulnerable to damage from these factors because there’s a greater length of hair that needs to be protected from them.

The hair at the ends of your length is weaker and thinner than the hair by your roots.

That’s because your hair grows from your scalp. So, the hair closest to your scalp has more exposure to the natural oils that your scalp produces to nourish and protect your hair.

A good moisturizing shampoo will help keep moisture around the scalp so that split ends don’t become an issue.

You Can Prevent Split Ends By Taking Good Care Of Your Hair

How you treat your hair has a big impact on its health, whether your hair type is prone to split ends or not. Even if your hair is not prone to split ends, you can still get them if you don’t take proper care of your hair.

With the right hair care routine, you can protect your hair from split ends, frizz, and breakage.

A great number of split ends are due to poor hair care habits, such as not using a conditioner regularly or not washing the hair enough. If you have dry, damaged hair that breaks easily, it’s important to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair.
