Hair can break when points in the hair thicken or weaken. Sometimes this happens near the scalp so a person's hair never grows very long. When hairs break at the ends, they're called "split ends," and the splits can travel up the hair shaft.
Brushing or combing hair too frequently or in the wrong way (such as using a fine-toothed comb on very thick, curly hair or teasing hair) can lead to breakage. Hair extensions and braids can also cause breakage. Leaving them in too long or pulling them out without professional help can cause hair and scalp damage or even hair loss.
Just like the skin on our bodies, your hair is made up of layers. The outer layer of the hair is called the cuticle and it is made up of cells that are dead and that lay on top of each other. This will protect the cortex, which is the middle layer of the hair. The cortex is made up of coiled long proteins, which is the make-up of most of the hair. Breakage and split ends occur when the cuticle protection is won away. When it wears away at the tip it is called a split end as the hair splits or unravels. Hair breakage and split ends happen less when hair is not dried out and it moist and healthy. By taking care of your hair, you can drastically reduce the chances of hair breakage and split ends.
