    Split ends are a progressive nightmare that can leave your hair feeling more drab than fab.
    As the cuticle strips away, it becomes more noticeable, leaving the outer layer of your hair exposed and vulnerable to splitting.


    But fear not! If you need expert advice for hair, this blog post digs below the surface to provide practical hair tips
    and product recommendations to help you prevent split ends and treat them.

    The Leading Causes of Split Ends and Treatments

    • Heat Styling: Overuse of hot tools like straighteners and curling irons.

    • Chemical Treatments: Colouring, perming and relaxing can weaken hair.

    • Friction: Rough brushing, towel drying and even sleeping on cotton pillowcases.

    • Environmental Damage: Sun exposure, harsh weather and pollution.

    • Loss of Moisture: Dry hair is more prone to breakage and splitting.

    Prevent Split Ends With Premium Haircare

    Regular Trims

    • The best way to get rid of split ends is to trim them off. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks. Book an appointment at one of our salons for expert advice and service from hair care specialists you can trust!

    Gentle Hair Care

    • Use a tangle-free wide-tooth comb or a detangling brushlike a Wet Brush or Tangle Teezer.

    • Avoid brushing wet hair, which is more fragile.

    • Dab your hair using a dry microfibre towel instead of rubbing.

    Decrease Heat Styling

    Deep Condition Regularly

    • Use a nourishing leave-in conditioner or hair mask at least once or twice a week to replenish moisture and strengthen hair. The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask is a great pick!

    Choose the Right Products

    Consider a Silk Pillowcase

    • Silk creates less friction than cotton, reducing breakage and split ends.

    Treating Existing Split Ends

    While trimming is the only way to completely remove split ends, these treatments can help improve their appearance and prevent further damage:

    • Bond-building treatments like Olaplex and K18 actually repair those broken bonds in your hair, which makes it stronger and can really help with those pesky split ends.

    • Leave-in conditioners provide all-day hydration and protection from dryness and unmanageable hair.

    • Apply a small amount of hair repair oil to the ends of your hair to seal and protect them.
