Curl queens have to deal with so many hair issues, mid strand splits being the worst of them all. A mid strand split is breakage or weakness occurring anywhere along the hair shaft but not its ends. If you don’t want your kinks to go through this hassle, just check out the four causes of mid strand splits, so you can avoid them like a pro!
1. Detangling With A Brush
Your favourite hairbrush could be doing more harm than good to your tresses. You may be tempted to yank the brush through your locs but this can lead to serious mid strand knots. Finger detangling is a great way to minimise mid strand knots and keep the frizz away.
2. High Manipulation Hairstyles
Excessive styling and high manipulation hairstyles can cause mid strand knots, especially when styling is conducted on wet hair. While these hairstyles look gorgeous in their own right, they take a toll on your hair health. Opt for more buns, updos and low manipulation hairstyles.
3. Heat Styling
Heating tools can help you switch your look but also causes major stress on your hair health. Avoid heat styling as much as possible and opt for hairstyles that are more natural. In case you do use heating tools, always apply a heat protectant first.
4. Lack Of Protein
Lack of protein is a common issue for curl queens. However, it leads to dry strands that end up causing mid strand knots. Make sure you provide your tresses with ample amount of protein by regularly applying TCB Naturals Hair Food
