FIVE TIPS TO GET RID OF SPLIT ENDS

Very often, women who have long hair have the problem of split ends. It is usually the last 2-3cm of our hair that usually is affected by this problem. However many of us are in the category of not wanting our hair trimming, because we can lose “important centimetres” of our beautiful locks. Then the dilemma of what to do? It now appears that it is very popular to find natural remedies for various problems and often, it’s also more convenient, because usually we can find many of needed ingredients right in your kitchen.

Now unfortunately the only way to get rid of split ends is to have them cut. This also means having them cut above where they start meaning a good 2-3cms of your hair. This to come is something that they just are not happy to do so below are 5 different ways to help prevent split ends without cutting our hair. However do not forget that the best way to keep your hair healthy and split end free is to visit the salon regularly for a trim. (6-8weeks ideally).

It’s better to apply the below masks concentrating on the middle length and on the ends of your hair avoiding the roots, because our target are split ends. (If you apply the mask all over your head and on the roots, your hair can become greasy and heavy.) Let’s begin:

1)    Here is very efficient hair mask with oils and ripe avocado, that will help you to efficiently fight split ends:

Mix 2 table spoons of olive oil with 2 table spoons of coconut oil (you can very slightly warm up the oils for better results, warm up till comfortable to touch temperature) and add one ripe avocado (avocado is optional, oils alone will also do a great job). Mix it all up very well till you get a creamy consistency. Then apply it on your hair as a hair mask (avoiding the roots, concentrate on the middle length and on the ends of your hair). Make a hair bun and cover it up with a shower cup and then – towel. Keep it on for at least 30 minutes (you can keep it on for longer for better results). After, wash and condition your hair as usual. You should notice the result from the first time of doing this mask. Hair will become more shiny, softer and healthier looking.

2)    Beer. 

Who would have thought that beer can be a remedy from split ends? But yes. It definitely can help, because beer contains proteins and sugar which can help strengthen your hair and mend damaged ends. Wash your hair and then, after conditioning, rinse your hair with beer. The only minus of this technique is beer scent, but if you can bear with this – try this technique!

3)    Here is another hair mask to efficiently fight split ends: take 2 table spoons of any hydrating cream and mix it up with 2 table spoons of olive oil (or you can use coconut oil in liquid form). Apply this mask on the middle lengths of your hair, concentrating on the ends and wait for about 30 minutes, then wash your hair as usual. If you do this mask regularly prior to washing your hair, you will see amazing results.

4)    This hair care tip is for ladies who don’t like home made remedies. To get rid of split ends you can use your favourite bottled cosmetic hair repairing mask, but use it in a little bit unusual way… (Here are, on my opinion, some of the best masks, L’anza Moi Moi Hair Masque, L’oreal Serie Expert Intense Repair Masque for Dry Hair and Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe. Instead of applying it for 2-3 minutes, as we usually do, try to keep it on your hair for longer. After you’ve washed your hair, pat it with the towel and apply your favourite repairing hair mask on the length of your hair concentrating on the ends, avoiding the roots of your hair. Then put on shower cup and towel and wait for 1 or 2 hours. Then, rinse off thoroughly. Your hair will be silky, nourished and hydrated. This technique fights slit ends very efficiently!

5)    Create hair mask with ingredients form your kitchen: mix one egg’s yolk with 3 table spoons of olive oil and add 1 table spoon of honey. Apply this hair mask on the ends of your hair and keep it on for one hour. Then wash and condition your hair as usual. If you do this mask at least once every 2 weeks, you will notice how much more nourished and healthy your hair will look.

And finally, remember that in order to have beautiful and shiny hair without split ends you need to take good care of your locks, hydrate your hair very well and protect your head from the sun exposure and having regular visits to the salon for a trim will help your hair get longer as it wont get as damaged.
