Do split ends stop hair growth?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Split ends do not stop hair from growing. Hair will continue to grow based on your hair growth cycle, whether or not you have split end.

  1. Hair Growth and Split Ends:

    • Split ends do not stop hair growth, as growth occurs at the scalp.
    • They can cause breakage, making hair appear shorter or thinner.
  2. Managing Split Ends:

    • Regular trims every 6-8 weeks help prevent split ends.
    • Focus on gentle hair care and avoid excessive heat or harsh chemicals.
  3. Promoting Healthy Hair:

    • Maintain a balanced diet.
    • Use appropriate hair care products to keep hair healthy.

I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, but I'm worried it might change the natural color or somehow make it darker. Is there any truth to this idea, or is it just a myth? My aunt once said her hair got darker after she cut it, but I'm unsure if that would happen to me too since I've never done it before. What do you think?

Thats not true you can have hairstyle of your choice no problem

I'm dealing with this skin thing that's kinda like a fungal infection, where I get these red rings. Sometimes it clears up on its own but then comes back. I'm trying to figure out which cream is better for it, Panderm Plus or Zoderm E? Any advice would be awesome!

Based on your description of a recurring fungal infection with red ring-like lesions, both Panderm Plus (clotrimazole + beclomethasone) and Zoderm-E (clotrimazole) can be effective; however, Panderm Plus might be a better option as it combines an antifungal (clotrimazole) with a mild steroid (beclomethasone) to reduce inflammation and itching

I'm a 27-year-old guy and my doctor suggested I take Keraglo Men tablets for my hair. I'm wondering, if I take these tablets every day, will I see any improvement in hair growth? They also mentioned some serum and oil for me to use. Is there a good chance that these will actually help my hair grow back? I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth sticking to this routine.

Keraglo Men's tablets, containing Biotin, Vitamin D, and Saw Palmetto, can promote hair growth when taken daily as prescribed; combining them with the recommended serum and oil may enhance effectiveness, potentially leading to noticeable hair growth and strengthening within 3-6 months, but individual results may vary.
