Usually, it is not the cables. The hood latches themselves are seizing, and not returning properly.
You have to lubricate the latches. It should be done every oil change. Just a little spray with something like Wurth HHS2000 will keep it working like new.
If the latches get too stiff, you are using too much force on the cable system, and something is going to break, either the pivot inside the car, or where the cable splits.
