Plus, even if split ends could be bound back together, split ends are a sign that the ends of your hair are unhealthy. Split ends are irreversible, and any product, salon, or treatment that tries to tell you otherwise is lying. Your hair is not alive, so it can’t heal like a cut on your skin. Here comes the tough love… there’s only one way. This will help prevent tangles and breakage down the road. So if your hair tends to get easily tangled, watch out for and prevent split ends.
Additionally, when you have curls, kinks, and coils, your split ends are more likely to cause tangles, since they can catch on other hairs coiling around them. It may come as a surprise to learn that the curlier your hair, the more fragile it tends to be! This means people with curly hair, especially type 4 hair and 4C hair, may be extra vulnerable to split ends. Split ends in natural hair and curly hair
Your ends can split in a variety of ways. The result is split or frayed ends of your hair. So is it any wonder that your ends can’t last forever? Over time, daily wear and tear on your hair will degrade and wear down the hair cuticle, exposing the inner cortex. Not to mention, the end is the most exposed and vulnerable part of your hair. How many times have they been washed, styled, or straightened? How many hats, scarves, and sweaters have they touched? How many cold, windy, dry, and humid days have they seen? Depending on the length of your hair, the ends may have been with you for several years! Just imagine all the things the ends have seen and been with you through. Your hair grows from the root, so the end is the oldest part of your hair.
