Split ends are one of the most common problems today. After all, constant stress, lack of sleep, and an unbalanced diet have a negative effect not only on the condition of the skin or hair, but also on health in general. Hair has an upper protective layer - the cuticle.

It, in turn, consists of adjacent layers of keratin scales. The pathogenesis of split ends or trichoptilosis is a violation of the tight connections between the scales of the protective layer. As a result, the ends of the hair are visually unkempt and tangled.

As soon as the internal structure of the hair is disturbed, it becomes weak, dehydrated and damaged, which causes the appearance of split ends.
Split ends occur when the protective layer of the hair cuticle wears away due to external factors such as:

▪️ styling with hot tools;
▪️ improper combing;
▪️ improper washing and drying of hair;
▪️ permanent tight hairstyles;
▪️ the effect of chemicals on curls.

How to treat split hair?
Obviously get a haircut. But you won't fix the problem that way. It is like treating a cough during pneumonia instead of treating the disease itself

Of course, after a haircut, the ends will look perfect, they will not be chopped. But in reality, split ends can appear not only at the ends, but also along the entire length of the hair. This is especially true for girls who regularly lighten their curls. So, as you can see, a haircut is not always the best way, but sometimes it is the only way.

Although the only way to completely get rid of split ends is to cut them off, there are some ways to help prevent them from occurring. And this is only proper care and no magic.

Here are some ways to prevent split ends.
Choose high-quality shampoo, balm and mask made from natural ingredients.
While there's no magic shampoo or conditioner that will get rid of split ends, choosing products with moisturizing ingredients can help prevent and prevent split ends. They also strengthen the protection of the strand against other factors that contribute to the appearance of split ends.

Dry your hair properly
Your hair is most vulnerable when it's wet. Therefore, we harm it the most during drying. No matter how much you hurry, never do this: do not twist it, do not rub your hair with a towel and do not comb a wet and naughty strand with a thin comb. This will lead to even greater fragility. Instead, use a silk turban from LUM to dry your hair.

Functionality of the turban:

✔️ Polishes the hair, making it obedient and shiny. The result is already after the first use;

✔️ Prevents hair breakage and split ends. Because it does not weigh down and does not break strands;

✔️ Natural volume near the roots. Restores the muscle tone of the hair follicle

✔️ Prevents traction hair loss. The wet turban weighs a little more than 120 grams;

✔️ Absorbs moisture very quickly, dries quickly and is very compact!

Review your blow drying technique
We've all been guilty of blow-drying completely wet hair, especially during the winter months. But if you're serious about preventing split ends, you really should let your hair dry as naturally as possible before using a blow dryer.

Ideally, your hair should be 60-90% dry before you use a blow dryer. The longer you heat the strands, the more likely they are to be damaged. Since hot air dries curls not only from water, but also from the moisture that is inside the hair, it can become very stiff and limp.

Use products with thermal protection
Before blow-drying or using any stylers, use heat protection for hair.
