How To Remove Split Ends From Hair

Having split ends of hair is undoubtedly one of the most common problems suffered by women, regardless of the length of their hair. Brittle or split ends are a total nightmare, but they have a solution!

Learn in this note, some tips, home remedies and secrets to eliminate flowered ends.

How to avoid split ends of hair

These secrets or tips will help you modify the brittle ends chart:

Drink a lot of water

If you consume enough water each day, it will affect your overall health and your hair as well. Thus, your hair will obtain the hydration and minerals necessary to be (and look) healthy.

Don’t forget the conditioner

Choose a good quality conditioner and if possible, for dry or damaged hair. Never put it aside when washing your hair. You should also try not to blow dry or use the flat iron too much, because excessive heat removes moisture from the hair, causing split ends.

Don’t overdo the amount of shampoo

A very common mistake is to believe that the more shampoo you use, the more effective the hair cleaning will be. But this is not true. You only need to place enough to sanitize the scalp. In addition, we advise you to limit the number of times you wash your head per week.

When you overuse the shampoo, you eliminate the natural barriers that the body produces to protect the hair, causing flowered ends.

Peel an avocado and use the pulp, without the pit. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Apply the mixture to the tip of the hair and let it work for 15 minutes. Then wash as usual.

4. Oil tonic

Heat a few tablespoons of oil (olive oil is recommended) and reserve. Cover the ends with the oil, cover the hair with a shower cap and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse with a good amount of hot water and finally, with a jet of cold water to close the follicles.

You will be surprised to see how the oil deeply hydrates, helping you improve the split ends of your hair.

5. Beer tonic

This tonic is preferred by the famous “naturists”. You should do it on a weekend or when you are on vacation, because the aroma of the drink will remain in your head for a few hours or days. However, by offering such good results, that will not matter to you. Dip the ends of the hair in a bowl of beer and rinse.

6. Mask with aloe vera

Aloe vera is a wonderful ingredient for preventing and treating brittle ends. Cut a piece of this plant (a stem), extract its pulp or sap and apply it to your hair, from the middle down. You should do it when your hair is wet for the best effect. Let it sit for 30 minutes and wash as usual with shampoo and conditioner.

7. Homemade butter mask

This natural mask will provide good hydration to your hair. For this recipe you need about 20 grams of melted butter, half a glass of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of lemon juice.

Apply the butter to the ends of the hair, cover with plastic wrap and leave for 20 minutes. Separately, mix the lemon juice with the vinegar and a little warm water. Rinse the tips with this solution.

8. Almond oil and honey mask

We love this mask because it deeply hydrates, combating the split ends of the hair and leaving it silky!

Mix three tablespoons of almond oil and two of honey. Apply to the ends and leave for 25 minutes, then rinse your hair with plenty of warm water and wash as usual. At night, you can apply pure olive oil on the ends (before going to sleep, twice a week), to increase the results.
