How To Conceal AND Rid Of Split Ends
Split ends are a woman’s worst enemy! Although it can be difficult to prevent split ends, here are some of our top tips on how to reduce their frequency and severity.
What Causes Split Ends?
Split ends are a form of physical damage to your hair. When your hair strands lack essential moisture & turn dry/brittle, they split apart to form a Y-like shape that we all know too well called “split ends”. This can be from:
Using hair products that are too drying
Frequent use of heat-styling tools
Chemical hair treatments like coloring
Dry climate & constant sun exposure
Rough handling of hair while combing or shampooing
Not using a conditioner or serum post hair wash
Regular Haircuts & Trims
Cutting just 1/2” off every 3 months allows your hair to continue to grow in the healthiest way possible! Plus, freshly cut ends look thicker & more healthy than wispy ends.
The secret to long hair (yes, we’re telling you 😉), is getting haircuts 3-4x/year and asking for in-salon conditioning treatments at every cut to prevent breakage.
Use A Wide Tooth Comb To Detangle Wet Hair
Hair is weakest when it’s wet, and wet hair is more prone to tangling. To prevent shower-induced tangles, give your hair a brush before and after the shower.
Our Opulent tip: Apply a nourishing conditioner like Hydrate.Me Rinse, untangle strands with your fingers & use a wide tooth comb before rinsing.
Use A Hair Oil
Kevin Murphy Young.Again oil is an Opulent Beauty fave! It is a weightless, nutrient-rich oil that helps restore and replenish the hair. This product is ideal for dry, damaged or brittle hair.
Hair oils are great to prevent/manage split ends because it pumps moisture back into your fragile and damaged ends.
