Do Split Ends Cause Male or Female Hair Loss?

I am a 24 year old girl with long hair.   Currently, the ends of my hair are splitting and it appears to be getting thin.   am I experiencing [tag]hair loss[/tag]? Kindly advise.

Though split ends are not necessarily a sign of  hair loss, without proper treatment, your hair may appear thinner and damaged.    Split ends can make  it appear like [tag]thinning hair[/tag] for a few reasons.   First, when the hair shaft splits, one thicker hair will appear like two thinner hairs.   Improper [tag]hair treatment[/tag] will also cause breakage and damage to the hair, making it appear less “healthy”.

Be sure to use both shampoo and conditioner regularly and see your stylist about a haircut and best practices to treat your hair to prevent damage to your hair.   It is also best to get a semi-regular treatment to remove split ends before they splay too far down the hair.
