Split ends are the most common hair problem faced by women. This problem arises when the hair’s cuticle actually wears down. This problem is more pronounced whenever hair is either dry or brittle. Anyone suffering from this problem should therefore not brush your hair when it is wet. You should also consult your dermatologist if you want to use any other chemical treatment such as hair colors, which could compound the problem. Using a good quality shampoo is the best form of treating this condition. Another good tip would be to wear a hat during harsh summers and cold winters which will help in preventing split ends.
