Why does my hair always look dry and get split ends so fast?
Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice about my hair because I feel a bit lost 😭
My hair constantly looks dry/frizzy, especially in the mid-lengths and ends, and I get split ends really quickly even after trims. I attached a photo so you can see the texture better.
I’m also not really sure what my hair type/texture is. It’s not fully straight, but it’s not properly wavy either? Sometimes it gets fluffy and uneven instead of smooth waves.
Right now I use a shampoo and conditioner from my hairdresser that are specifically made for damaged hair. I also use hair oil regularly on my lengths and ends, plus a leave-in conditioner. I also use a Bumble and Bumble heat protectant spray before blow drying my hair.
I don’t bleach or dye my hair at all, but I do use a hair dryer regularly.
I also have low ferritin/iron deficiency. My doctor currently doesn’t want to give me iron infusions, but I do take iron supplements that also contain folic acid. I’m wondering if that could also affect my hair quality/health?
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing the dryness and breakage? And maybe tips on:
- figuring out my hair type,
- reducing split ends,
- making my hair softer/shinier,
- or products/routines that actually help?
Thank you 🫶
