Features
Long Long hair has a length that extends over the shoulders. As this means that the hair is constantly in direct contact with textiles, the physical stress on the hair is above average. As a result, the hair is destructured or, in other words, damaged by the physical impact much faster than with other hair lengths.
Of all hair lengths, split ends occur most frequently in long hair.

Features
Trichoptilosis - commonly known as split ends - is a splintering of the hair at the ends. The ends of the hair are slightly brittle and appear dull. This rarely occurs in shorter hair, as short hair is exposed to less friction from movement (for example on the shoulders) and is often cut more frequently to maintain hair length. Split ends are a cosmetic problem as they make the hair look less smooth and organized.
