One of the problems that plagues hair the most is the presence of annoying split ends. Split ends make hair dull, dull and lacking vitality. Acting in time allows them to be completely eliminated, restoring new light and vitality to the hair.
At Unity Beauty, we bring you the best professional treatments and solutions to eliminate split ends both in the salon and at home. Let’s find out together what split ends are and how you can eliminate them with quality targeted treatments.
What are split ends
Split ends, scientifically referred to as trichoptilosis, are an alteration of the hair shaft characterized by a change in the structure and shape of the hair.
Split ends originate from a fracture in the hair that literally appears split at the tip when viewed.
There are many causes of this hair shaft fracture:
– the heat generated by hair dryers and straighteners;
– The excessive energy used to brush the hair, particularly when the hair is still wet;
– use of aggressive treatments repeated over time or carried out in close time periods, such as chemical bleaching and ironing;
– Failure to use healing and emollient products that can preserve the physiology of the hair.
The best treatments to eliminate and prevent split ends
You probably also think that one of the most effective remedies to combat and permanently eliminate split ends is to cut your hair. This remedy works only partially.
While in fact cutting the hair visually eliminates unsightly split ends, it is totally insufficient to ensure a recovery of their physiological health.
