Answer 1

Here are a couple of websites that talks about home remedies for split ends: http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/beauty/homemade-recipes/hair-loss.htm

Home Remedies for Hair Loss and Split Ends
Hair loss may be caused due to a variety of reasons, for example, tension, malnutrition, illness etc. Split ends, if not treated travel up to the root giving the hair an uneven length. Here are some simple home remedies to combat hair loss and split ends:

1) Apply olive oil at bed time and wash off the hair next morning.

2) At home, wash hair with cold water, rub scalp with fingers.

Using any amount of hot air will cause your hair to dry out. Dry weather and blow drying will strip the hair of its moisture. Shampooing frequently and swimming in chlorinated pools will lead to dry hair and split ends. Hair dyes, electric curlers and permanents cause hair to dry out and have split ends.

To avoid split ends, follow the following tips and keep your hair glossy:

• Use mayonnaise: Use a dollop of mayonnaise on the palm of the hand and massage it to the head and leave it on for five minutes before having the bath. The recommended time for the mayonnaise treatment is an hour.

• Spray the beer: If you do not get any respite from using the mayonnaise, you can use beer as a good setting lotion that gives your hair the crisp, healthy and shiny look. You can pour some beer into an empty pump bottle and spray on the hair after shampooing and towel dry. Then you can style or blow-dry the hair.

• Shampoo minimally: Though it has become fashionable to shampoo daily, it is not advisable to do so. Shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils and thus gives it a dry, limp appearance. Alternatively, choose a shampoo for dry, damaged hair.

• Condition your hair: Dry hair can be benefited greatly by the use of conditioners after shampooing. The outer layers of the hair or cuticles peel away the shaft, resulting in split ends. Conditioner glues these cuticles back to the shaft and lubricates them. It also prevents static electricity, thus preventing its frizzy appearance.

• Avoid heat: Heat appliances like blow-dryers, electric irons and curlers damage the hair. Instead of blow-drying the hair, you can pat dry with a towel. Replace electric curlers with unheated plastic rollers that were used in a bygone era. Straighten the hair by wrapping the slightly damp hair around the cold rollers and leave them on for about ten minutes. To curl the hair or to give them a wavy appearance, use sponge rollers overnight or sleep with moist braids.

• Cover your head: Wearing a hat during windy days is the safest way to protect the hair from drying out. This way, you will also protect your hair from drying out by the sun.

• Cut off the split ends: Every six weeks or so, try cutting off the split ends to keep them under control.

Answer 2

I had this problem. Not cutting hair often enough is part of it. Also layers leaves split ends. But the biggest culpret is hair straightners. They leave thousands of split ends. If you do use straightners, try using a heat protecting balm on your hair after you wash it, especially on the tips. Blow dry your hair on a cool temp if you can, and point the hair dryer downwards, against the hair shaft. This will flatten it and reduce the appearance of flyaways. And use a hair serum. It gives the appearance of straighter hair, and wont wear off like most products. I then use my straightners lightly, not leaving them on my hair too long. And coz of the serum, my hair doesnt frizz up later.

Try these tips, they really work for me!! I also use a hair mask for split ends every now and then. With all these tips, I have hardly any split ends now!! Good luck!

Answer 3

I've heard a lot of crazy stuff, but pretty much the only thing to get rid of them is to chop 'em off.

After you do that, there ARE products that you can use to help strenghten your hair and prevent split ends...

Sleek.look Smooth Recovery™ Treatment is a good one...from Matrix. Another one is the Cera-Repair Pro4™- hydrathérapie in-salon treatment.

Yeah, but Matrix has some pretty good products, if you were to want to look into it.

Answer 4

Mayo. but on the ends only. and after that try a little honey to take the smell of sandwich off the ends.
