The official LM Longhairs® Collection of ...
The Things in life that give you split ends ... :(
Lets face it...Split ends happen on long hair. (just WAY less on OUR Longhairs clients!!!)
Read on to see what can cause split ends, breakie bits & cracked shafts, the ways your hair tries to reshape itself when an unnatural 'little' trim
line traumatizes it.
As well as what wear, tear, bodyshape, and tools have to do with it.
Here is the LM Longhairs® growing list of...
aka a Cynic's list of.....
THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT GIVE YOU SPLIT ENDS and breakage...
Taxes. (We had to say that;)
Life. ( apparently hair grows faster just after you die;)
Shoulderbags, buckles knots in straps and rope handles.
Knapsacks and Packsacks, pull hair in front first.
Rubber bands (you already know that one;)
Revolving door's rubber flaps. (say no more)
Trimming blunt too often at shoulder length.
watch the updraft in revolving doors, one of those hair-hazards ready to happen!
Products
that seal up split ends with silicone/plastic temporarily, they continue to crack inside the coating;-(
Beads
Dirty hair.(any bachelor worth his salt knows dirty socks get holes and wear out faster than always-clean ones) That's a given, provided that you don't launder your socks in battery-acid.
Wind.
Silicone 'smoother-serums' and sun, Silicone 'smoother-serums'and salt-water
, Silicone 'smoother-serums'and sweating, Silicone 'smoother-serums' and you. hiding split ends and strand discrepancies never helped the problem. Don't feed that addiction.
Velcro rollers (taking them out, but then... you do 'have' to, don't you?)
Wooden and pronged brushes.
Common rubber padded brushes.
Cats chewing your hair's ends while you sleep, or when it's wet
.
Any pets or humans chewing your ends, asleep or awake
No to twisting pulling and rolling your ends while you think or study. Try this, gently 'painting actions' absent-mindedly over your skin/face with the last inch or so, is beneficial and a better habit, hey better for you than eating chips absent-mindedly when you study;-)
Poor scalp circulation. (aw well, you should be wary of stimulating your scalps if you have used and do use silicone/petrolatum based products
in or on your hair.) Especially don't use natural and/or essential oils with having those products
used.
Tight or thin skin scalp. (sensitivity and flaking is a warning of this)
Brushing too fast. S L O W L Y.
Flicking hair with pens with clips or with ringed fingers
Flapping out car windows, sunroofs if you use silicone products
, can magnify sun's bad rays.
A simple blunt bottom or hairdressers U line CAUSES hair to break to try to correct itself.
Too fresh a hard line cut
causes twisting, too often it gets you into the all-too-familiar '6-week-salon-rut'.
These bad habits, plus usual wear and tear cause a domino effect of at least , split ends untended.
Using silicon-ey products
, using blow dryers on high heat. If you don't use those kinds of products
, or use our products
, then blowdriers warm is beneficial. Our clients can safely blowdry their hair in minutes, like a dream!!
