Are your split ends bothering you? No matter how well you take care of your locks, do you still see split ends? It is an unfortunate truth, but split ends are inescapable – it could be due to your lifestyle, excessive use of heat tools, colouring and even the way you brush your hair.
Split ends usually cause your hair strands to split and branch out at the ends, making it brittle, and dry with an uneven colour. Hair with split ends is prone to knots and gets tangled easily, mainly due to lack of moisture. To get rid of split ends, most people usually opt for the shortcut, that is, a haircut. However, a hair trim is simply a temporary solution. To truly get rid of your split ends, you need a long term fix. In such cases, home remedies to get rid of those split ends come in really handy – it’s cost-effective, time-saving and you don’t even have to step out!
Read on to know more about some of the top home remedies to get rid of split ends!
- Give your ends an oil massage
Oil Massages are the best and most popular home remedies when it comes to the well being of your hair. To start off, section your hair into small parts. Next, take a nice big dollop of your favourite hair oil and start massaging it into your hair. The trick here is to work your way up from the split ends to your roots. That way the frayed ends are moisturised and smoothed.
- DIY Hair Masks
Another great way to get rid of split ends is to experiment with some DIY hair masks. Some popular DIY hair masks to get rid of split ends are yoghurt and honey masks, egg white mixed with olive oil, a simple mashed avocado mask, etc. The bottom line is hair masks ensure that your hair stays moisturised, healthy, and shiny.
- Comb your hair right
Often, how you comb your hair can also make a difference in your hair care. Most times, we are all guilty of either over combing out hair or not combing it often enough – both of which can aggravate your split ends. Be gentle with your hair when you comb it and keep it tied.
- Give your hair a proper wash
Washing your hair often strips it off its natural oils and sheen, causing your hair to be more prone to split ends. Many experts suggest that hair should be washed a maximum of two to three times a week, with a mild shampoo and with cold water.
A shampoo that we recommend is the Pure Sense Relaxing Macadamia Deep Nourishing Hair Cleanser. Why, you ask? It’s 100% natural, paraben and sulphate-free, and gentle. Yes, it gives you a purifying hair cleanse without stripping off the natural oils of your scalp. This means, hydrated and happy hair minus the split ends. Packed with Vitamin E and B5, this hair cleanser softens your hair and controls frizz, too.
- Eat and drink right!
While taking care of your hair from the outside is important, it is also essential that it receives proper nourishment on the inside as well. What you eat and drink has a huge impact on your hair and how prone it is to split ends. Make sure that your diet has all the right nutrients and that you drink at least 8-10 glasses of water every day to ensure that your hair stays nice and shiny – free from split ends.
