Why Hair Breakage Happens
Breakage is usually the result of accumulated stress on the hair: bleach and color services, heat styling, tight styling, and everyday friction. Over time the cuticle weakens, strands snap, and the ends begin to look thin and uneven.
Breakage vs. Hair Loss
Breakage happens along the hair shaft when fragile strands snap, while hair loss refers to shedding from the root. The two require very different approaches, which is why a professional assessment matters. SPLITfix addresses damaged strands, it is not a medical hair-loss treatment.
Why Ends Can Look Thin Even When Hair is Growing
If your hair grows at the root but breaks at the ends, the overall length appears stuck and the ends look sparse. Addressing the split ends and breakage allows healthy growth to show.
