yes, chances are it is from medical reasons...maybe even some stress. Both those things can radically change your hair... Try to use conditioners packed with proteins, and I would suggest using a silk reconstructor serum(CHI silk infusion is really good) on your ends, it should help it a bit, and atleast make it LOOK better. also--another big help would be to TRIM TRIM TRIM your hair as much as possible!

Oh! Sorry to hear it! I don't know about the diabetes, but I do know that my hair would often be in that same condition. Yes, even after a cut! Maybe the key is moisture, and I am sure a lot of people in here can advise as to which products are best. My hair improved when I began taking a multivitamin regularly. I also began using Pantene. I too only wash every other day, air dry, vent brush. I use a boar's bristle brush when dry. The last time my hair was long, it wasn't near as frazzled and split up as it had been previously.

I hope you find a solution to those split ends. Keep us posted!

I am at my wits end! My hair is always so dry and I have millions of split ends. I just got back from getting 3 inches cut off my hair, and I still see split ends. Some hair has split 3 or 4 times, up the shaft. HORRORS!

I only shampoo every other day; I do NOT use curling irons or flattening irons. I wash, condition, and then let my hair air dry. In fact, the only times I use a blow dryer is on Sundays, to get it dry in time for church. I only use a large tooth comb on my hair, with the exception of Sundays when I blow dry (mostly cool air) then I will use a vented round brush.

I am type 2 diabetic on orals. Could this affect my hair to this extreme? Split ends galore!

As of a month ago I started using K-Pak on my hair, but haven't noticed much of a difference if any.

Is there anything I can do to combat this conditon?
Heaven is real; don't myth it.
