Brilio.net - Dry split ends are a condition where the ends of the hair begin to split and appear dry and dull. This can happen due to various factors, ranging from exposure to chemicals, improper care to extreme environmental conditions.
The main cause of dry, split ends is a lack of moisture in the hair. When hair loses its moisture, the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair, becomes brittle and breaks easily. Activities such as using hot styling tools or even washing your hair too often with shampoos that contain chemicals can worsen this condition.
One of the biggest impacts of dry, split ends is the overall decline in beauty and health of the hair. Split ends make the hair look uneven and make it look less well-maintained. In addition, dry, split ends are also more susceptible to further damage, such as hair loss and structural damage.
To overcome this, you can use special hair care products formulated for dry, split ends. Not only that, you can also use natural ingredients to maximize hair care. As shared by a TikTok user with the account name @clarissapisciina.
