END THE spilt ends war

SPLIT ENDS- the shortest two-word horror tale that brings along a great deal of misery to your hair. Split ends can make your hair look dull and cause intense frizz and excess hair fall. Split ends can be main cause of Hair fall if not taken care of and lead to hair thinning too! All these problems are enough to make split ends the one problem that you run the farthest from. But sometimes, when you forget to prevent or treat them, it can turn all your good hair days into bad hair days and your strong locks to weak, broken strands. Although split ends occur at the tip of your hair, its effects travel to the root and way beyond. Let’s put an end to split ends by diving deeply into what this monster

is and how you can prevent it.

HOW DO SPLIT ENDS OCCUR?

Every hair strand has cuticle coverage. The cuticle is the natural cover on your hair that protects your hair from damage. However, due to heat, styling tools, chemicals, and other factors, the cuticle damages and tears. When the cuticle is damaged, it exposes the inner layer of the hair. This inner layer of hair becomes weak, damaged and dehydrated without the cuticle cover and causes the hair tip to split. Thus, the split-ends monster is created.

THE CAUSES OF SPLIT ENDS

THE EXTREME weather

We all know how extreme weather change can be harmful to our skin, but did you know its ill-effects on the hair? Extreme cold or hot temperatures can cause frizz, damage and lead to split ends. Direct exposure of the hair to extreme weather conditions can cause damage and fraying of the tips. It’s imperative that one applies a serum before stepping out to give the hair a layer of protection. So, pop in the Pantene Open Hair Miracle pack in your backpack and you’re all set to face the weather and stay undefeated.

STYLING Tools

Oh, how much do we like styling! Curls, straightened, puffs or crimps, we have tried them all. But that damage they bring along, in the long run, is forgotten. Styling tools cause the most damage as they destroy the cuticle due to the heat.

TUGGING and pulling

Yes, you read the right. Tugging and pulling your hair while combing can cause damage to the cuticles and cause split ends. A golden rule to follow when it comes to removing the knots and combing your hair is to start from the bottom and work it to the top. When you comb your hair from the top to the bottom, the tips of your hair get all the undeserved bashing.

THE CHEMICAL Reaction

The trauma that chemicals bring to your hair through dyes, masks and other hair products is the last thing your hair can take. Chemicals damage your hair and pull out all the moisture and make them dry. Chemicals also damage the cuticle leading to frayed tips that eventually break.

STOP SPLIT ENDS CAUSING HAIR FALL

TRIM it out

The easiest yet the most painful tip is to cut the tips regularly. By getting frequent trims, you can cut the problem at the source. However, one hair trim in six months is not the solution. One has to regularly trim their hair in order to prevent the split end from splitting further and causing hair thinning. This may not be the most preferred solution but is an ideal one to fix split ends fast.

OIL nourishment

The benefits of oiling are multiple. They nourish your cuticles by keeping the moisture locked in and preventing damage. While oiling can be great for your hair, one cannot deny the hassle that it brings along. So, with the fast-moving world, you need a solution that is hassle-free yet effective. When you don’t have the time to deal with the hassle that oiling brings along, get the same nourishment with Pantene Open Hair Miracle. Apply it like oil and experience the nourishment without any stickiness and hassle

LEAVE-IN conditioner

Your hair needs constant moisture and care in order to be strong and split-ends free and the best way to give your hair just that is through a leave-in conditioner. Lucky for you, Pantene Open Hair Miracle also doubles as a leave-in conditioner. On those days that you want to save those extra minutes in the shower yet condition and moisturize your hair, pick up the Pantene Open Hair Miracle bottle. Apply a walnut-sized amount of the product post shower and voila! That’s all you need to get moisturized locks.

DRYING hair

Resorting to blow-dryers can cause hairball while drying. It is imperative to use a cotton towel or a soft T-shirt to dry your hair and avoid tangling. So, sisters, keep those old-t-shirts close and use them to tap and dry your hair. The friction caused while using a towel can cause damage to the cuticles and cause split ends.

USE A wide-tooth comb

The wide-tooth comb is a must-have on one's dressing table. Whenever you detangle your hair use a wide-tooth comb and start from the tips. As already mentioned above, work your way from the tips to top to avoid causing damage at the bottom.

THE RIGHT hair routine

Using the right shampoo and conditioner can do wonders for your hair. Prevent split ends and hair fall from occurring by using a shampoo and conditioner that nourishes your hair and prevents breakage.
