Heat styling, constant manipulation, friction from harsh fabrics, or even just the natural aging process of your hair, all inevitably lead to damage. This damage primarily manifests as dry, brittle strands and, most commonly, as split ends – essentially, damaged hair tips.
Having damaged or split ends is characterized by an irregularity at the hair's extremity. In the case of damaged ends, this area will be very dry and particularly brittle.
As for split ends, they are characterized by ends that fray, causing the hair to split. In the most advanced cases, the ends are then extremely dry, brittle, and also tangled.
Contrary to popular belief, split and/or damaged ends remain so despite specific localized treatments and care. These tend to fill the gaps without deep action, as the condition is irreversible. It is therefore essential to act proactively to maintain healthy length.
This damaged area not only affects the ends but also the entire length. Having damaged ends tires out the entire hair, making it more fragile. It is therefore necessary to trim your ends regularly as a preventative measure to avoid the appearance of split ends. A trim of about 5 mm (or less) every 6 weeks is a reasonable practice that allows you to maintain length while keeping your hair healthy.
To do this, it is essential to equip yourself with the appropriate tools, namely a pair of hairdressing scissors. The sharpness of this type of tool respects the hair and prevents the reappearance of split ends, which is not the case with other types of scissors.
