Annihilating Your Split Ends, For Good


Lets face it, every girl has the same question. How do I keep my ends from splitting?

Believe it or not, there is no secret to keeping split ends at bay. However, there are a few, simple, rules to follow, all of which involve moisture, heat protection and regular Haircuts.



First - This is the MOST important piece of information you'll ever get about your hair, so listen up! Moisture. Plain and simple. You need a good cleanser and moisturiser (shampoo and conditioner) that balances the moisture in your hair. You also need a leave in conditioner. It doesn't matter who you are, or what type of hair you have, if you're not using a leave in conditioner every time you get your hair wet you are doing yourself an extreme disservice. A leave in conditioner is going to help your hair to retain moisture throughout the day as well as keep your style smoother, longer. Bonus: Most leave-ins have heat protectant in them so you're getting a double dose of awesome! Another thing that is going to help retain your moisture is to get deep conditionings regularly, at least every 4-6 weeks (the more often, the better)

Second - Use a heat protectant. The outside of your hair has a cuticle, when the cuticle heats up, it opens like a Christmas tree. When it's open, it releases moisture quickly and your hair dries out. split ends happen when your hair is dry....  When you use a heat protectant, it's helps to keep the cuticle from opening as far, thus, retaining that moisture and saving your ends.

Third - Getting your hair trimmed is very important when you're trying to manage your split ends. If you neglect making regular appointments and allow your hair do dry out and start breaking, it just keeps drying and breaking off until you give it a clean edge. When you get your hair cut it gets oxygen to the ends of your hair and oxidizes your ends which creates a sort of foundation and strength to your hair. If you let it break, or pick at your ends, they won't get that foundation and the ends will just keep breaking.

I hope this helps answer some of the questions you may have had about keeping your hair healthy. If you have any other questions or if you'd like to book an appointment call or text 801-318-2883
