YOGYAKARTA - Split ends occur when the ends of your hair become dry, brittle, and frayed. They may resemble the unraveled ends of a rope. Let's learn how to keep your hair from split ends!

Launching from ai-care.id, Exposure to extreme weather conditions, and hair care techniques such as drying, straightening, and curling can cause split ends. They are also caused by chemical hair products. With so many people using hair products every day, split ends are common. Almost everyone will deal with split ends at some point.

How To Keep Hair From Branching

Unfortunately, you can't treat or fix split ends. So once the ends of your hair are damaged or frayed, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them.

That's why prevention is key to keeping your hair healthy and free from split ends. While you may not be able to completely avoid split ends, you may be able to limit how often split ends develop.

Let's look at some tips and techniques that can help prevent split ends.

  • Be gentle after washing your hair

Wet hair is prone to damage, so it's important to treat your hair gently after shampooing and conditioning.

Some people have the habit of drying their hair with a towel, but doing so can damage it. Frequent scrubbing can cause hair damage. It can also damage your hair cuticles, resulting in split ends or frizz.

Instead of rubbing your hair dry, towel dry it to avoid breakage and breakage.

  • Part your hair

Tangled hair, whether wet or dry, can be difficult to comb or brush. So, always separate your hair before drying, brushing, or styling.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends using a wide-toothed comb. Wider teeth allow the comb to glide through your hair without ripping the ends or causing breakage.

  • Hydrate your hair

Keeping your locks moisturized is also key to preventing split ends. Dryness can weaken hair, especially at the ends, and this can lead to breakage and split ends.

To add moisture to your hair, consider using a weekly hair mask. Hair masks are deep conditioning treatments that can provide moisture to your hair and reduce frizz and dryness. Masks can also reduce the risk of hair damage, resulting in softer, shinier hair.

The products in hair masks are usually more concentrated than instant conditioner products. In addition, masks last longer on your hair from 20 minutes to several hours, or even overnight.

You can buy pre-made hair masks or make your own using ingredients such as:

  • Coconut oil
  • Aloe vera
  • Honey
  • Olive oil
  • Banana

  • Reduce Heat Hair

Using hot tools on your hair, especially on a daily basis, can dry it out and change the protein structure of your hair.

If possible, let your hair dry after washing, then style it without using a curling iron, flat iron, or hair dryer.

If you do need to use heated equipment, try turning the heat setting down. You can also apply a heat-protectant product before drying or styling your hair to avoid heat damage.

  • Avoid over-brushing

Your hair doesn't need 100 brush strokes a day. It's a myth. In fact, brushing your hair too often can cause damage, including breakage and split ends.

Instead, comb your hair just to style it or make it look neater. Avoid pulling or tugging at your hair when you brush or comb it, and use a detangling product if you need to remove knots.

  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase

Protecting your hair at night can also prevent split ends. Instead of sleeping on a cotton pillowcase, sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase allows your hair to glide over the pillow. Having less friction between your pillowcase and your hair can help prevent hair breakage and breakage.

Another option is to wear a silk scarf at night to protect your hair.

  • Tambahkan waktu di antara perawatan rambut

Chemical treatments such as coloring, perming, or relaxing your hair can be detrimental, especially if you have more than one treatment at a time.

You can take several steps to lower your chances of hair breakage, breakage, and split ends:

Add more time between treatments. If possible, try to go 8 to 10 weeks between touch-up treatments.

Only get one type of chemical treatment at a time. If you need more than one type of treatment, the AAD recommends relaxing or perming your hair first. If you also want to dye your hair, wait 2 weeks before doing it.

Apply a hair mask once a week or use an instant conditioner every time you wash it.
