Split Ends

Because your ends deserve better than playing ‘split personality.

Split ends (trichoptilosis, if you’re feeling fancy) happen when the protective outer cuticle layer of the hair shaft is damaged and frays apart. That split can travel upward, weakening the strand and making it look frizzy, thin, or uneven.

​​📚 What Are Split Ends, Really?

Split ends (trichoptilosis, if you’re feeling fancy) happen when the protective outer cuticle layer of the hair shaft is damaged and frays apart. That split can travel upward, weakening the strand and making it look frizzy, thin, or uneven.

Why they show up:

  • Excessive heat styling 🔥 (flat irons, curling wands, blow dryers)

  • Chemical treatments 💇🏽‍♀️ (relaxers, bleach, dye)

  • Rough handling (aggressive towel drying, tight elastics, hard brushing)

  • Environmental stress 🌞💨 (sun, wind, pollution)

  • Skipping regular trims ✂️

 

🧐 Causes & Symptoms

CauseHow It Shows Up

Chemical damageWeak, stretchy, uneven strands

NeglectTangled mess, uneven texture

 

🌿 Natural Solutions That Work

The goal: protect the cuticle, feed your hair the nutrients it craves, and minimize friction.

 

💧 Moisturize & Seal

  • Butters & Oils: Shea butter, argan oil, jojoba oil keep ends supple.

  • Leave-in conditioners: Hydration without weight.

 

💤 Reduce Friction

  • Swap cotton pillowcases for silk to stop nightly tug-of-war.

  • Detangle gently with wide-tooth tools.

🧠 Quick Quiz – Is It Time for a Trim?

Answer “Yes” or “No”:

  1. Do your ends feel rough even after conditioning?

  2. Do you see tiny white dots or frayed tips?

  3. Do tangles magically form at your ends overnight?

  4. Does your hair look frizzy at the bottom but smooth at the roots?

Results:

  • Mostly Yes: Book that trim now, babe. Then baby those ends.

  • Mostly No: Keep up your routine — prevention is working!
