Hair grows from the roots, the ends have nothing to do with it. Maybe the recommendations of the masters do not make sense? Hair ends should be trimmed for several reasons.
To avoid damaging the hair roots
Hair ends are difficult to comb when dry and tangled. You have to make an effort to put your hair in order. A large amount of hair remains on the comb. This means that the root simply could not withstand such a procedure, and did not hold the hair in its place. • use means for easy combing: “Belita-Vitex”, “Jonson’s Baby”, “Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur”;
• choose not a plastic massage comb, but a wooden or bone comb with rare teeth;
• comb dried, not wet hair.
Of course, you can use lotions and creams for combing, purchase a suitable comb, but the tips cannot be restored. They have lost their beauty and only cause inconvenience. This is one of the reasons why you should trim your hair ends.
By shortening the hair, you can save the root, which means that the hair on your head will still be thick and lush.
To comb your hair more gentle, and the roots are not damaged, you can follow some rules:
• use means for easy combing: Belita-Viteks, Jonson's Baby, Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur;
• choose not a plastic massage comb, but a wooden or bone comb with rare teeth;

You can also strengthen the hair roots so that they are not damaged and do not fall out when brushing. This requires choose the right shampoo, be sure to use balms and conditioners, which include vegetable oils and a vitamin complex.
To make your hair stronger
How can shortening the ends affect hair strength? Hair health depends on how well the root is nourished. The hair shaft is a keratinized cell. They are not alive.
Blood vessels are suitable for the hair follicles. The blood supplies nourishment to the hair root. On the parietal part of the head, root nutrition is better and the hair is thicker, on the back of the head and temples it is thinner.
Why then cut the ends of your hair if it all depends on the root? The ends of the hair are fluffy and brittle, but they still require nutrition. It is no longer possible to revive them, but they continue to draw on all vitamins and minerals.
By cutting the ends of the hair, the master removes the unnecessary part of the hairstyle. Now the hair gets enough calcium, zinc, iron and vitamins. This restores the cuticle and hair core, which consists of a protein, keratin, which is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the hair shaft.
Hair can be helped, restore its strength, not only by doing a haircut. To revive the hair core, use certain keratin products and nourishing masks.
The protein gets inside and builds up the destroyed keratin layer. The hair is restored to its health: elasticity and firmness. Among all products with keratin, the following are especially popular:

You can use keratin shampoos or balms if only the first signs of weak hair are visible. In extreme situations, when the hair is already badly damaged, keratin capsules are used.
Along with hair care products that contain keratin, vitamins or preparations with selenium must be taken. This substance is a building material for hair. If they are brittle and the tips are dry, it is better to use shampoos and balms that contain selenium.
To prevent dry hair
There are sebaceous glands on the hair roots. They grease the hair shaft. Whether the hair is dry, normal or oily depends on the work of the sebaceous glands.
If the glands are functioning properly, enough fat is produced to lubricate the entire hair from root to tip. If the sebaceous glands do not work properly, there may not be enough fat on the hair to cover it with a film along the entire length.
The cuticle is damaged and moisture leaves the core. Hair to the very ends becomes dry, brittle, dull, loses its attractiveness.
The problem of protecting hair from dryness can be solved. It is worth regularly, every month, to trim the ends of the hair by 1.5-2 cm. Why should the body spend its defense in the form of fat on fluffy and split ends?
The film will spread in a thicker layer along the length of the hair, retaining moisture inside the hair shaft. A healthy shine will appear on the hair. They will not only look attractive, they will become healthy.

How to keep hair at the ends
There is a desire to let go of the hair, but the masters advise cutting the ends of the hair. Why, because the hairstyle has not yet reached the desired length. What to do in this case?
Hair will not get longer if it is constantly shortened. The ends of the hair will have to be preserved, but they require careful maintenance. Experts recommend using masks for dry and oily hair ends. At the same time, they warn that masks are made in the first days after a haircut. When the ends of the hair are already split and broken, it is no longer possible to revive them. For oily hair, use shampoos for oily hair. A mask is applied to the ends of the hair 20 minutes before shampooing.
For dry hair and dry ends, use a dry hair shampoo to wash your hair. For oily hair, use shampoos for oily hair. 20 minutes before shampooing, a mask is applied to the ends of the hair.. For dry ends, you can use:
• oils: burdock, castor, sea buckthorn; the oil must be slightly warmed up so that it is better absorbed, and applied to the damaged ends; hair is wrapped in foil and left overnight, if possible;
• oil can be mixed with egg yolk; the yolk will have a regenerating effect on the keratin layer; the hair ends will regain their elasticity;
• mask with henna: the powder is diluted 1/3; henna will moisturize the hair, give it elasticity; you need to be careful with henna, because it dyes your hair; for those who wanted to do hair coloring, this is the most suitable tool.
• milk and cream: you need half a glass of milk and 2 tbsp. heavy cream; Heat the milk a little, dilute the cream in it: you get a thick cream; it is applied to clean hair along the entire length; washed off with warm water without shampoo.
• chamomile and egg: you need to prepare a glass of chamomile broth, cool it and stir the egg in it; the product can be used as a shampoo for dry hair; instead of chamomile, they also take a decoction of rosemary or calendula.
You can put a blue clay mask on the oily ends of your hair. The tool is used not only for the ends. Clay is able to normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, so it is useful for hair roots.
In addition to proper hair care, you need to pay attention to external causes of dry hair ends: use of a hairdryer, gels, styling varnishes, unhealthy diet, insufficient body fluid, vitamin deficiency, stress.
Hair becomes oily, most often due to metabolic disorders, during the period of hormonal changes. Large amounts of oily and spicy foods will speed up sebum production. It covers the hair shaft with a thick film and attracts dust and dirt.
By removing the external provoking factor that affects the quality of the hair, you can get a good result: the hair will become healthy to the very ends. Letting go of hair is difficult. This is painstaking work, especially on the ends of the hair. After all, even with normal hair type, they can split.
Hair must be protected from natural vagaries. Don't be shy about wearing a hat. Put a hood over your head if it's cold outside. Wear a nice hat if you are going to leave the house in the hot heat. Well, if you didn't manage to save the ends of the hair, then it's better to cut them.
Dear women, be always beautiful!
