Dr Jasmine Karsono, Pantene Clinicare Scientist, explains why Split Ends are a bad thing.
“Most women often ignore split ends when they appear. Little do they know that these are in fact the pertinent signs of ‘ageing hair’. Without addressing its root cause, split ends have the propensity to develop into an even more serious condition, resulting in the “chain of split ends” – a condition characterised by recurrent split ends, leading to major peeling of the outermost cuticle hair surfaces.”
