A split occurs when the hair-shaft strips or frays. This can happen for various reasons such as use of excessive heat, improper detangling and chemical processes. "They happen when the protective cuticle has been stripped away from the ends of hair fibers."
Causes of split ends:
1. Climate
2. Poor detangling
3. Poor protein-moisture balance
4. Using dull scissors to dust/cut hair
5. Improper care of chemically processed hair (hair treated, relaxed)
6. Metal bonded scrunchies
7. Excessive brushing with hard brushes
