A sentence that you have probably heard in connection with split ends is: the only solution is to cut it off! All women love their hair and care for it to the best of their knowledge and ability - it is all the more annoying when the ends regularly split and have to be cut off despite intensive care! In this guide, you will get a few tips and tricks on how you can organize your hair care to effectively prevent split ends.
HOW DO SPLIT END OCCURS?
Split ends are primarily caused by a lack of moisture in your hair. To prevent split ends, you need to give your hair or the ends of your hair more moisture. To achieve this goal, it is not enough to wash your hair regularly with shampoo and hope that the hairdresser will fix everything if necessary. Of course, getting your hair cut regularly at the hairdresser is an option, but if you prefer long hair and even want to let your hair grow straight, you have to come up with another solution.
HOW CAN I EFFECTIVELY PREVENT SPLIT END?
Special hair treatments can prevent your hair from drying out and the ends from splitting. There is also a repair & care shampoo specifically for dry hair - a kind of 'repair & care for your hair' treatment - which can promote healthy hair and repair damaged hair to some extent. The first step is to wash your hair as normal with a repair & care shampoo and then apply a hair treatment. It is important that you allow both the shampoo and the hair treatment to work for a while before rinsing them out. This is the only way for the treatment to be absorbed into your hair strands and take effect. 
Even a simple conditioner will reliably detangle your hair, making it easier to comb through afterwards. Avoid pulling on your hair with your hairbrush! Detangle your hair carefully with your fingers, because force is never a solution in this case and will cause extreme damage to your hair! Always pay attention to which hair type the products you buy are designed for. For example, the Diva Shampoo and Diva Conditioner are ideal for curly hair, while the Volume Shampoo or the 3:0 care sets are recommended for fine hair.
MY HAIR IS NOT SPLITTING, IT'S BREAKING!
If your hair becomes brittle, the cause - as with split ends - could be dryness. However, a biotin, iron or vitamin B deficiency can also be the cause of hair breakage. Frequent dyeing is also anything but healthy for your hair. Do you really only use care products that were made for your hair structure? The wrong hair care products can be of the highest quality - but if they don't suit your hair, they won't have any positive effects. On the contrary: the wrong hair products can even damage your hair!
Do you like to wear your hair tied up in a ponytail? Is your hair tie wrapped loosely or tightly around your hair? Tightly fitting hair ties, which may also always be in the same place, put constant pressure on your hair. Depending on how sensitive your hair is, regularly wearing a ponytail in the same place can lead to brittle hair. You can counteract this by using wider elastic bands and tying them loosely around your hair. Feel free to vary the height of the ponytail a little.
A NEW HAIRSTYLE AS A LAST RESORT
If your hair is already so damaged that a clear asymmetry is visible, then you should stop trying to fix it yourself and make an appointment with the hairdresser as soon as possible. Even if it will be very painful for you at first to lose even more hair, going to a professional is essential at this stage. The hairdresser will have to cut your hair so that the symmetry is restored and all the damaged areas are removed. You may even discover during this step that a short hairstyle doesn't actually suit you so badly. If you want to grow your hair back after this visit, you should definitely pay attention to more intensive care that is tailored to your hair from now on so that you don't have to go through the whole spectacle again.
DAMAGED HAIR - IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING!
If your hair is not damaged yet, but just stressed, you can still save a lot with the right care. The Renaissance series consists of three products that will help you make your hair healthier and more vital.
1. The shampoo for stressed hair: Renaissance Shampoo
Massage the shampoo into damp hair, leave it to work for a short time and then rinse it out gently with water. This shampoo is ideal for daily hair washing because it is a very mild, nourishing shampoo. Your hair will become stronger and shinier with each wash and your scalp will also stay healthy and will even be cared for a little by using the shampoo.
2. The hair mask for stressed hair: Renaissance Mask
We recommend using the Renaissance Mask 2-3 times a month. Massage the mask into towel-dried hair after washing your hair and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. The mask provides your hair with enough moisture so that it can breathe properly again. Once the 15 minutes are up, simply rinse the mask out thoroughly with water - done!
3. The conditioner for stressed hair: Renaissance Conditioner
As we all know, all good things come in threes - and that's the case here too. To complete the care routine, we recommend using the conditioner after every hair wash. If you also use the mask, you should use it before the conditioner. Distribute a small amount of the conditioner in your hair, leave it to work for a short time and then rinse it out thoroughly.
If you follow the recommendations and instructions, you will soon notice a clear difference in your hair - in a positive sense! Now it's your turn: from now on, care for your hair to the best of your ability and with the latest knowledge and give split ends, hair breakage, etc. no more chance!
