Split ends are a sign of breakage that can occur anywhere in the hair shaft but typically occurs at the ends. It happens as a result of the hair shaft breaking or splitting apart. This can cause your hair to look undesirable but also is a surefire sign that your hair isn’t as healthy as it could be. Read on to find out how to prevent split ends and what to do about them.

How to Prevent Split Ends

If your hair is frayed, you need to work on developing a nourishing hair care routine that will ensure you have healthy hair. Ultimately, the most damaging thing you can do to your hair is to constantly expose it to heat, deprive it of moisture, and neglect regular trimmings.

Dry hair is more prone to split ends because the hair shaft becomes brittle and more likely to break off. Avoid heat styling tools or at least apply a heat protectant beforehand. This includes before blow-drying your hair.

If you can, it’s even better to let it air dry. Even if hair growth is a major goal of yours, you need to do regular “dustings” or trims that will remove split ends from your hair. This prevents them from riding up and making it difficult to grow your hair long.

Strong, healthy hair is more likely to grow than hair that is breaking apart and hanging on by a thread. Avoid brushing wet hair which can cause more split ends. Leave-in conditions can help with detangling and then you can work through any tangles with a comb.

How to Care for Your Hair With the Right Products

The proper hair products can strengthen and restore moisture to your hair so your hair is less dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Natural oils such as almond oil, coconut oil, or olive oil will nourish your hair with moisture.

We recommend using our BKT Silk Touch Hair Oil which is coconut and argan oil-based and rich in antioxidants. It’s very lightweight, so won’t weigh down your hair or make it look too oily.

Another sure-fire way to keep split ends is to regularly apply a hair mask that is rich in nutrients. An excellent option is the BKT Deep Hydration Hair Mask which is formulated to prevent breakage. Apply the hair mask after shampooing your hair. Then, dry your hair, apply the mask, and let it sit to penetrate the hair follicle.
