Answers:
split hair is not a disease.It is a condition when people either use heat or products that contain too much alcohol,chemicals such as perms,color, or Highlights on their hair.they do need to be treated by maintaining your hair.getting your haircut every six weeks and buy professional grade products that your stylist at a salon recomends not something you can buy at your grocery store(they contain alot of alcohol and wax) you can eliminate excessive split ends so your hair will look healthy.

Other Answers:
split end is not a disease. it's a weakness in your hair. the only way to get rid of split end is to cut it off (despite all the products that may temporarily bind it). Hair that's extremely damaged may indicate a disease, but split ends are a normal.

Split ends are caused by too much heat from the curling iron, straightener, or hair dryer. It also grows different lengths. If your hair gets too damaged, try putting your curling iron or hair dryer on a lower setting. getting your hair cut frequently is also helps.
