Split Ends

One of the most bothering hair problems is the one concerning split ends. There are numerous factors that cause split ends; unfortunately, once you have them, the only solution is an unwanted visit to the hairdresser in order to get rid of them. Split ends and damaged hair can be avoided; here are some hair tips:

Do not brush your hair while it is wet because it is very fragile and vulnerable and may brake easily. However, if it is absolutely necessary to do that, use a rare teeth comb, without brushing energetically.
Reduce the number of styling products and try your best to dry your hair naturally, without using the hair dryer. Nevertheless, if you have to use it, do it without excessive hot air and keep it at a reasonable distance from your hair.
Use mayonnaise before you wash your hair. Massage it gently on the whole length of the hair and let it act for several minutes.
If you have no problem with mayonnaise, you will certainly have no problem with beer; use beer to give health and shine to your hair. Fill a spray bottle with beer and pulverize it on your hair after you have shampooed and washed it; dry your hair normally.
Buy yourself a natural hair brush which is gentle with your hair and prevents the electrostatic phenomenon.
Stay away from the sun; if your skin needs protection, so does your hair which is also vulnerable. Wear a sun hat or use hair products which have sun protection factor (shampoo, conditioner and mask).
Use a moisturizing conditioner after every washing and once a month apply a regenerative mask.
Try different serums and products for split ends. These cannot repair the damaged hair, but at least they can improve its aspect.
Every 6 weeks go to the hairdresser and cut 1 centimeter from your hair. If you fear that your hair will no longer get to grow by applying this method, we inform you that a healthy hair which has no split ends grows faster.
Sleep on a satin pillow which prevents hair tangling.
If you go swimming at the pool, protect your hair by wearing a special mask, as the chlorine from the water is very aggressive.
It is not recommended that you should wash your hair daily, as the quantity of sebum will be affected; shortly, your hair will become dry and lifeless.
Before shampooing your hair it is advisable that you should massage gently your scalp; this will considerably improve the aspect of your hair.
Many women use to sleep having their hair in a pony tail. This will never help you to prevent split ends; on the contrary: the gum used for tightening the hair puts a lot of pressure upon the hair root and the scalp; in time the hair becomes weaker. One good idea for those who have very long hair is to braid it while sleeping.
Wash out your hair with cold water; this could be a real help.

Follow these pieces of advice and always remember that preventing is better than curing.
