what can be done to avoid split ends other than cutting the hair?

Answer 1

Best ways to make you free from split ends apply olive oil or coconut oil at bed time and wash off the hair next morning and do not comb in the wet hair. Use a good herbal shampoo and avoid frequent changing of shampoo. Make sure you drink a lot of water as water contains minerals. Do not expose your hair to extreme heat or temperature. Manage to trim off your split ends. Do not back comb.

I am 32 years old, and I have hair down to my waist...I have NO split ends. Do you wanna know why? Because I CUT my hair on a regular basis.

Best thing for you to do is to cut those split ends off and start fresh. Trust me on this one.

Then cut your hair on a regular basis to avoid split ends.

I'm sure this is not the answer you were hoping to hear, but hey, it's the truth.

Some shampoos actually help with split ends. Also, cutting the hair is a good idea, if only by an inch or a half an inch. Good luck!

1) Use a super absorbent microfiber hair towel to reduce drying time & allow your hair to air dry as often as possible.

2) Use a wide tooth comb to remove tangles. Start at the bottom & work your way up.

3) Always use conditioner at the ends of your hair.

4) Select good quality hair accessories that won't tear your hair. http://www.ehow.com/how_17121_select-hair-accessories.html

5) Consider using a leave in conditioner to protect your hair from sun damage & salt water when at the beach. Jojoba oil works well & it is non-comedogenic. It also adds a nice sheen & washes out easily.

Boys usually dont have problems relating to such things, because they do a regular maintenance, ie visiting to barber shops to get the hair cut. Not to state--> I am not talking about Girlish boys - in this sense those who like having long hairs. Every thing, including hairs have a life of its own, after which it is bound to show signs of age.
