4. Environmental factors: Exposure to sun, wind, and dry air can dry out hair and lead to split ends.

5. Poor hair care: Using harsh hair products, not getting regular trims, and neglecting hair maintenance can lead to split ends.

6. Genetics: Some people may be more prone to split ends due to their hair texture or genetic makeup.

7. Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc can affect hair health and lead to split ends.

8. Hair tying: Tying hair too tight or using hair ties that are too small can cause hair to become weak and prone to splitting.

9. Hair brushing: Brushing hair too aggressively or using a brush with metal bristles can cause hair to become weak and prone to splitting.

10. Age: As we age, our hair naturally becomes more prone to dryness and splitting.

To prevent split ends, it's essential to maintain good hair care habits, including regular trims, using gentle hair products, and protecting hair from heat and environmental damage.
