Home Remedies for Split Ends

When your hair shaft gets all dried up due to lack of hair care, it leads to split ends. A common hair problem faced by many women alike; split ends start occurring from the bottom of the hair and can cause some serious damage to the hair. Following are some reasons for hair split ends and homemade remedies for split ends to solve the same:

• Styling gadgets: When heating tools like straighteners, blow dryers, and curling irons are used on hair they strip the hair of its natural moisture. So, it's best to minimize the use of these tools. If used then at lower temperatures so as to minimize moisture loss which results in split ends.
• Cosmetic hair products: If you use hair coloring products, and strong shampoos on a regular basis, then it's about time you reconsidered it. Excessive use of these products also results in hair moisture loss. No matter how herbal hair coloring products proclaim themselves to be, their ingredients still contain traces of chemicals in some form or the other. So every time you see gorgeously coloured hair and wish to get it done, remember that it is obtained due to some chemical composition of the colouring crème that can cause some serious split ends if your hair texture is dry.
• Pollution: Whenever you step out with your hair open, you’re unknowingly subjecting it to damage. With the pollution levels increasing day by day, you should always consider keeping your hair well-protected by following a proper routine to prevent them from losing moisture.
