First, run your fingers over the surface. Do you feel roughness, knots, any shoots? Then look at the ends themselves. Are they all split, what is the length of the damage, etc. Perhaps you have trichoclasis. In this case, the cause of the split is physical and chemical exposure.

Unfortunately, at first it is very difficult to notice such a problem. After a couple of months, the condition of the hair deteriorates greatly. It loses its natural shine, becomes dry and lifeless.
