How to Prevent Split Ends of hair

Hair with split ends is not healthy hair. If you want your hair to look healthy and shiny, you can get rid of those split ends yourself. Don't add chemicals to your hair, or only conditioner that coats hair and doesn't repair it.

How to treat split ends naturally.

1. Add 1 tsp. each of mustard oil, castor oil and olive oil into a small container and mix well. Put the mixture on your scalp, massage it in well and let sit for 30 minutes. Rub the oil into the rest of your hair until your hair is completely coated and wash out.

2. Mash up an avocado and apply it to your damp hair after washing it. You can also use mayonnaise if you don't have an avocado. Leave the avocado or mayo on your hair for about 30 minutes and wash it out.

3. Mix up one egg yolk and 1 tsp. of almond oil and apply it to your scalp and then to the rest of your hair. Let the mixture sit in your hair for 30 minutes and then wash it out.

4. Use an organic hot oil treatment on your hair once a month. You can find some hot oils made out of 100 percent natural plant or herbal extracts such as Jojoba oil.

5. Mix 10 drops of sandalwood essential oil and 10 drops of rosemary essential oil. Rub the mixture onto your scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes before washing it out.

How to prevent split ends

1. Take care not to split them in the first place, because the only cure is a trim, according to trichologists (hair doctors) everywhere.

2. Don't brush hair when it's wet, because that's when it is at its most vulnerable.

3. Cool it on the heat styling tricks. That means cut down on hair dryers, straightening irons, crimpers, curling irons and hot curlers.
4. Buy a natural-bristle brush that won't pull on hair and ultimately break it off, thereby causing a possible split end.
5. Wear a hat to minimize sun damage.
6. Use a shampoo that lists sunscreen as a major ingredient.
7. Condition after shampooing, and use a deep conditioner once a month.
8. Try a hair split repair product. It won't actually repair the hair, but it will minimize the stray hair look you hate.

9. Get a trim every six weeks.
