Split Ends in Hair: Causes and Treatment

Hi, IMBBians!

Today, I am back with an article on causes and treatment of split ends in hair. There are common causes of split ends or damage in hair; most of these causes are stress, detangling, brushing wet hair, excessive blow drying, dryness due to hot summers. It can also be directly related to your diet, hormones, and deficiency of vitamins; regardless of how you developed split ends, they will not disappear.
