SPLIT ENDS

Split ends are a natural occurrence for anyone whose hair is growing. It is a natural process where the new hair pushes the old hair further away from the scalp. The old hair follicle will have wear & tear, and start to shed away from the cortex of the hair.

Here are few health related causes:

Heat - excessive heat stress the hair at the weakest parts

Hair manipulation - brushing, combing, pulling, and etc., will slowly damage hair

Hair Friction - when your hair rubs against hats, pillows, cotton material and other fabrics
