Split Ends and Hair Loss

Splitting of ends is normally a problem of dry or combination hair. The main cause of split end is during the long stay of hair on the scalp, the hair is exposed to innumerable physical and chemical traumas. This factors damages the hair because hair is a dead structure that lacks the power of self-repair. This leads to gradual wearing down of the cuticle scales and these are totally lost at the tips of the hair which results in split ends. If they are not treated, they travel up to the roots giving the hair an uneven length. This is the one reason which results in further growth of hair. Number of reasons cause hair loss like emotional and physical stress, hormonal imbalances during teenage and pregnancy, adverse drug reaction, malnutrition, illness etc.
