The problem of split ends is very common, but due to this, the hair looks very dull and unhealthy. Usually, it is seen that to get rid of the problem of split ends, we get a haircut done. Even though our hair looks good at that time, after a few days this problem starts again. In such a situation, it is not possible to get hair cut again and again and then we compromise with such dull and lifeless hair.
In this situation, we all think that our hair is like this, so nothing can be done about it. While in fact, it is not so. We all do such small mistakes while taking care of our hair, due to which the hair looks dry and lifeless. Simultaneously, the problem of split ends also starts. So, today in this article, we are telling you about some such small mistakes, which you should avoid-
Combing hair hard
This is a common mistake, which damages the hair a lot. Often people put a lot of pressure on the comb or brush while detangling the hair so that the hair gets detangled quickly. But doing so only worsens the problem of split ends.
Actually, by doing this, friction is created between the hairs, due to which the hair becomes even weaker. The problem of split ends increases due to friction in the shaft of the hair. So, always use a wide-toothed brush to detangle the hair. If hair is getting tangled, use your fingers instead of pulling it vigorously with a brush.
Using the wrong shampoo
The way you shampoo can also affect your hair health. If you take your hair length to the head and then make a foam ball of shampoo, then you are shampooing your hair wrong. Due to this, you may also have the problem of split ends.
Since your hair ends are thinner than the roots, they don't need as much shampoo. Hence, you should focus on shampooing your scalp. When the shampoo comes down to the hair length, it will clean your hair easily.
Using heat styling products
These days, heat styling products ranging from hairdryers to flat irons and curling irons are used in almost every household. But do you know that these products that make hair look stylish damage your hair a lot?
Due to heat, the cuticle layer becomes very weak and in such a situation the problem of split ends increases even more. Not only this, high heat can cause the proteins in the hair shaft to break down, which can weaken the hair and make it prone to breakage.
Skipping conditioner
Since your hair ends are thinner and drier, they require a lot of moisture. But most people do not use hair conditioners. In such a situation, due to dryness, your problem of split ends becomes worse. Hence, you must use conditioner after hair wash. With this, your hair length will also get enough moisture and then it will be much easier to manage split ends.
