Why do some girls have perfect hair in the morning, hair to hair, and their hair looks very neat, while others have chaos on their heads? It’s just that the former have already dealt with or prevented the appearance of split ends, while the latter have not yet thought about it. We invite you to pay attention to this and begin to fight the problem using traditional methods.
A homemade mask against split ends is a reliable remedy thanks to which you can easily regain healthy and neat curls. The main thing is not to give up halfway and complete the full course of procedures.
True, there is one important condition, without which any home treatment will be ineffective: before starting it, you will definitely need to visit a hairdresser and cut off a few centimeters of damaged ends. Yes, yes, any, even the most expensive salon procedure, visually smoothes the ends, temporarily gluing together the separated layers of each hair - after all, it is no longer possible to heal them. And if so, get rid of the extra burden from your head!
Causes of split ends
Split, frizzy hairs are the result of negative external influences on the hairstyle. They may be:
— irregular, metal or plastic brushes/combs;
- habit of combing wet hair(which, by the way, are the heaviest and most vulnerable to damage);
- periodic drying with a hairdryer or other thermal effects;
- deficiency of vitamins in the body;
- insufficient moisture of curls;
- refusal to regularly visit the hairdresser in order to trim sore ends.
Each of these reasons, as well as their complex, affects the appearance of split ends and the overall unkempt appearance of the hairstyle. If it is not possible to go to expensive and time-consuming salon treatments, maintain your hair with proper home care.
The most popular are natural products that contain one or another oil: it is this oil that intensively moisturizes, nourishes and smoothes the most damaged ends. But other active components of homemade masks are no less effective.
| Colorless henna | Perfectly nourishes and strengthens hair, has a healing effect on very split ends |
| Peach | Oddly enough, peach is one of the favorites in the fight for healthy ends of your curls. Has a pronounced healing effect |
| Dairy products | Kefir or yogurt are often used in masks that are designed to intensively moisturize the entire length of the hair. Therefore, it is only natural that they can easily cope with the problem of split ends. |
| Gelatin/glycerin | Both of these components in the composition of products for treating damaged strands allow you to achieve an effect similar to salon lamination. The point is that an invisible film is created around each individual hair, which not only smoothes out all roughness, but also retains moisture inside it |
| Honey | This is a real healer for any hair type. That is why it is used in almost all folk cosmetology products: against hair loss and to add volume, intensive nutrition, or, as in our case, to get rid of split ends. |
| Fish fat | These small capsules are useful not only to consume internally, but also to rub the liquid from them into the diseased ends of the hair. The therapeutic effect of such procedures was highly valued by our mothers and grandmothers. |
