Women with long dry hairs often have to deal with the problem of split ends.
When the hair grows and reached to a certain length the protective layer called cuticle is damaged and hairs split into two to three strands.
These strands can be as long as two to three centimeters.
One of the most common and simple ways of getting rid of split ends is to simply trim the hairs but there are some other methods which can be applied in order to make hairs more strong and decreasing the chance of split ends altogether.
Take two table spoon of olive oil, mix it with one teaspoon of honey and then beat in one egg yolk.
Apply the solution by massaging the hairs in small sections and wrap the hairs with a shower cap for at least 30 minutes before washing with shampoo.
If your hairs are dry use shampoo that contains extra moisturizing cream in it as this will not only moisten your hairs but will also diminish split ends.
Another nature way is to rub the leaves of hibiscus with small amount of water to make a thick solution, massage the solution until it reaches the scalp and after 3 to 4 minutes wash your hairs with water.
Avoid over shampooing your hairs as certain chemical which are present in it can damage the hairs.
There are some precautions you can take in order to decrease split ends.
Always brush your hairs when they are dry, brushing them while they are wet will not only increase split ends but also result in hair loss.
While you are swimming wear cap as swimming pool water contain chlorine and always wear hat when going out in the direct sunlight as sun rays can dry and damage your hairs.
