How long does it take for a split end (hair) to split all the way down the shaft?

Just wondering when the split end causes the most damage (I have about a million and I am very prone to split ends for some reason. I don't use styling tools and I brush my hair carefully and I don't blow dry my hair so I don't know what it is.)How long does it take for a split end (hair) to split all the way down the shaft?
There are different causes for split ends and there isn't much you can do to repair your damaged hair once you have them. In the past people have been trying to cure split ends by burning the ends of the hair so that they would seal. No need to say that this was not a solution for the problem and that it made the situation worse than before.





Split ends can not be repaired. The only efficient way to get rid of split ends is to have them chopped off. Avoid recurence by having a trim about every six weeks. Do not ingnore your split ends! The longer you leave them the further they will climb up the hair shaft. Finally a drastic (dramatic?) haircut would be unavoidable.





There are a few products that will temporarily cure your split ends by sealing and coating the ends of the hair. As soon as the hair is being washed or brushed though the split ends re-appear. Intensive conditioning treatments might help to reconstruct the hair shaft, but again this will only be a temporarily solution.





The only real solution for split ends is simply avoiding them. Some people's hair will be splitting a lot faster than other's. It is a fact that dry hair will split faster. It is however not only your hair type that makes you vulnerable for split ends. Also how you take care of your hair is very important.





Over brushing will cause split ends and exaggerated backcombing will also make the hair split since it is disturbing the cuticle. Brushing hair when it is still wet is one of the most important causes for split ends because wet hair stretches by as much as 25%.





Coloring and perms make hair weak and vulnerable for split ends. This type of hair needs extra care and should be treated with the appropiate products. Use a lot of conditioner and comb your hair through before rinsing it out.





Heated appliances can make hair become dry and finally it splits. Try to avoid using heated hair appliances as much as possible! If you are using them anyway, make sure to protect your precious locks with a potective product.





Towel drying is not good if you want to avoid splitting hair. You should blot your hair and then carefully comb it through with a wide toothed comb. Avoid using a hair dryer as much as possible since the heat won't do any good to your hair.





Elastic bands and all sorts of other hair accessories can damage your hair. Avoid using uncovered elastic bands since these often pull out hair when being removed. Other accessories will damage or weaken the ends of the hair.





And last but not least: Your health will affect your hair. If you have a dry scalp your hair will split faster because there is not enough lubrication on the hair follicle. Dull hair caused by a low fat diet will also be more vulnerable


hope this helps

Lack of vitamins and minerals. Dry scalp and hair causes split ends.


A good hydration is what need and it has to be 100% natural


So we need to look external and internal nutrition. Lots of fruits, vegetables and protein plus vitamins like B6, B12, A %26amp; E


Try a lotion called Ziravie, plus check their website which gives a combination of fruits and vegetables that helps to strengthen the hair roots internally.


The lotion that I use helps to accelerate hair growth but it is a a process first it calms the scalp, itching reduces, then with discipline use hair fall stops, within 3 weeks of use the hair roots strengthens and you start to see volume and silkiness


The website is www.ziravie.com but I bought it in Spain and now it is available on ebay.co.uk
You need to cut your hair. Split ends have no cure, they are basically damaged hairs. Since hair is not living, it will not repair. Cut your hair - all the way back to where there are no more split ends.


You may not want to cut your hair but this is the only way to get rid of split ends. Don't waste your money on those fake products that claim they can cure split ends.
The split end is more than likely to snap before it reaches the root. You must just have very fine hair which is causing it to split. Just make sure you're getting your hair trimmed every few months to remove the split ends %26amp; hopefully your hair should get a bit thicker and stronger because of it. Make sure you are conditioning your hair too.
It could be maybe your hair is dry or your washing it to rough


Try drinking more water change your shampoo and conditioner and wash your hair more gently...if this doesn't work ask a stylist


Good luck :)
try not to wash your hair too often


and oil it an hour before you wash it


and use a good conditioner
