Cure 101: Split Ends

Don't want this??

Dearest readers,

Aren't split ends annoying? Well stop whatever your thinking now because here are some great tips to help fix and prevent them!

1. Obviously there are products you can buy in stores and high end brands that'll help fix split ends. I suggest investing in a good quality conditioner. Try the brand Herbal Essences, I use their shampoos and conditioners and honestly,  it can really make a difference!!

2. Use Mayonnaise- Massage a dollop of mayo into your hair once a week for at least five minutes. For best results, it is advised to keep the mayonnaise in the hair for a full hour before rinsing it out.
  
3. Use Beer – Spraying beer into your hair using an empty-pump bottle can, according to some, help you achieve a healthy, split-free look. This should be done after shampooing and rinsing the hair for best results.

4. Use Honey, oil and yolk- Saturate your hair from root to tip with a mix of one tablespoon of honey, a quarter cup of cooking oil and two egg yolks. Keep the treated hair in a shower cap for thirty to sixty minutes and rinse with cold water. This method has been said to be most effective at preventing, rather than treating, split ends.

5.  Apply Coconut Virgin Oil and smooth onto ends of hair. It'll help repair and renourish them.

6. Pamper your hair and give it a hot oil massage. Simply warm 2 tsp. of olive oil and 2 tsp. coconut oil and gently massage the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse a towel in hot water, wipe and wind the hair around the head as it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times to ensure total saturation. After that, shampoo and rinse well. It is good for brittle dry hair and for split ends.

7. Trim regularly (every 6 weeks for shorter hair 8 to 12 weeks for longer hair) and apply regular treatments. Following the advice in our long hair, detangling and conditioning sections will all help.

8. Avoid excess heat and too much brushing and combing.

9.   Invest in a quality combs and real bristle brushes. Throw away combs immediately a tooth is lost and never use metal combs.

10. Use moroccan oil (see review here) this product is absolutely amazing!
