Hair Logic.
You see short hairs floating above your scalps, sprinkled throughout the length and think - oh no, is this breakage? Have I damaged my hair?
Probably not. Apply some simple hair logic. It's reckoned that we lose 50-100 hairs each day when we and our scalps are healthy. This varies - a few months after the end of summer we usually lose more hairs than in spring.
All things bring equal, it makes sense that 50-100 new hairs have begun to grow each day. And of course they're shorter than the rest of your hair.
Welcome those new little hairs. They're not broken or damaged, just exploring their new world.
Oh, how I love those baby hairs! <3
ReplyDeleteSooooo I've been cutting off those pesky split ends everytime I see them and now I'm wondering- how to tell the difference between split ends and brand new strands of hair that also have tapered ends?
ReplyDeleteAlso, most of the hair that I inspect that has come off off my head does not have an intact root bulb, so I know I'm experiencing lots of breakage 😓
So in conclusion do you think that people who get their hair "dusted" to cut off split ends could actually just be cutting off the ends of brand new growth?
