Split ends are also called trichoptlosis and can damage the look of any woman’s hair. They are caused when the protective cuticle is removed from the ends of hair strands. They usually affect dry or brittle hair and the causes are too much dying and rough brushing.
It is impossible to replace the hair cuticle once it has been removed. The hair divides into 2 or 3 strands and their length can be 2-3 centimeters. The ideal solution is to cut the split ends. There is no need to visit salon to trim split ends. You can easily do the same at home.
If you are simply looking to trim your hair at home without finding the need to re-style it, follow these simple DIY hair-trimming tips to get a new look. But in case of doubt, let an expert handle the situation.
To remove split ends:
Divide hair into small sections and gently twist them in a downward motion.
You will notice the split ends will show up.
Cut the twist carefully with sharp scissors. Do not cut within but just across the thickness to remove the damaged cuticles and get a natural layered effect.
Ensure you cut approximately the same quantity from each twist.
