Split hair can be embarrassing for both men and women. It takes away the smooth shining gloss from your hair. The frizzy look is definitely not attractive.

The problem is not as sever as it looks. It can be handled with ease once you know the cause and the effect. There can be so many causes for this simple problem.

As the name indicates the ends of the hair get split and break into strands. It is known as trichoptilosis in the Beauty world. When the protective cuticle of the hair is stripped away it is exposed. It splits into two or three strands for up to two or three cms. It can be caused by exposure to extreme heat and the elements. Excessive use of chemicals is also harmful. The chemicals give an immediate short term luster but very harmful in the long run.

So what do you do if you have split ends? Don’t for a moment believe the miracle products which promise miracles, like the Fudge Unleaded Defrizz Normal, for example. The only remedy is to cut off those ends. Earlier women used to singe these ends. Now things have moved on. It is simple and you can do it at home.

Take a small section of your hair by the ends and twist it in a downward motion. This will make the split ends stand up like bristles. Snip into the twist with the scissors and cut of the split ends. Make sure that you cut evenly i.e. the same length all over. This way you will retain the style as you are merely making it shorter.
