4 year: HAIR GROWTH CHART

split_ends-754025.gif


a. Start out to look like this – the classic split end.
b. If the classic split (a) is not stopped it continues to split along the shaft
c. Multiple Splits – worse case when classic (a) and (b) is not stopped
d. The Dot looks like a piece of fluff, but doesn’t brush off
e. The Dot bends at a straight angle. This is not really a split thought, it is Trichorrexis Nodosa and is actually caused by an explosion of the cortex (2nd layer) of the hair in a single spot.
f. The hole is the most difficult split end to find. The hair shaft has developed a split in the middle. To find this one, look for a small section that is lighter.
g. When you take the hole split strand and push them together, it pushes the split apart and creates and hole.
:nono:
 
I think the white spots are heat damage called 'Bubble Hair'.

When you apply high heat to the hair strand it can cause the water under the cuticle to overheat which splits the hair from the inside out and causes these white spots.

This is one of the reasons why damp-to-dry flat ironing is so controversial on the board. Some ladies swear by it, and some others are afraid of damage.
