Split ends, also known as "trichoptilosis," occur when the protective outer layer of the hair cuticle is damaged, leading to the splitting of the hair shaft into two or more strands. Split ends can be caused by a variety of factors, including heat styling, chemical treatments, harsh brushing, and environmental stressors such as sun exposure and pollution. Split ends can make hair appear dull, frizzy, and damaged, and can also lead to breakage and further hair damage if left untreated. The only way to get rid of split ends is to trim them off, but there are also steps you can take to prevent them from occurring, such as using a heat protectant before styling, avoiding harsh chemicals, and being gentle when brushing and styling your hair.

Trimming split ends is necessary for maintaining healthy hair because split ends can cause damage to the rest of the hair strand. When hair is damaged, the cuticle (the outermost layer of the hair) becomes lifted and weakened, making it more susceptible to breakage, frizz, and other issues.

By trimming split ends regularly, you can prevent further damage and help your hair look and feel healthier. It is recommended to get a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep split ends at bay and maintain healthy hair.
