• Tips

1 Use the right type of shampoo and conditioner. Look on the label for an indication that this product refines, repairs, nourishes or moisturizes hair. These shampoos and conditioners are designed to provide your hair with extra moisture, proteins (proteins) and vitamins, making it healthier and stronger. They will not make split ends whole again, but will help to deal with them and prevent further splitting along the entire length of the hair.

• Remember that split ends cannot be repaired. You can only make them less noticeable and take measures to reduce splitting of hair.

2 Apply a deep mask 2-3 times a month. Wash your hair as usual, but use a deep conditioner mask instead of your regular conditioner. Don't wash it off right away; instead, squeeze the excess moisture out of your hair and put on a shower cap. Let the mask sit on your hair for 15–20 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. Do not leave the mask on for too long, otherwise the proteins it contains can make your hair brittle. If you can't find a hair mask specifically for split ends, look for a mask that says something like:

• Deep recovery;
• "Regenerating care";
• "Restoration of hair structure".

3 Apply hair serum to the ends once a week. Find a serum that has conditioning properties and makes your hair shine. Apply a generous amount of this serum to split ends. Style your hair as usual. The serum will help heal and smooth split ends. A split ends serum usually says something like:

• "Split ends cream";
• "Natural oils for care".

4 Try Brazilian Keratin Hair Straightening to repair split ends. You need to find a reputable hairdressing salon that offers this procedure. It takes about 10 minutes and is most effective immediately after cutting or trimming your hair. The combination of keratin and soft hot styling will help seal split ends for up to four weeks.

• In this procedure, the ends of the hair will be treated with a special compound and "sealed". However, keep in mind that they will not recover and the effect will only be temporary. In fact, keratin straightening too often can damage your hair even more.

Method 2 of 3: Natural remedies and treatments

1. 1 Apply 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to hair. Pour some oil into your palms and massage gently into hair, focusing on the ends and working upward. Do not rinse off the oil unless it makes your hair look greasy. If you don't have olive oil, you can use the following options:
   • Avocado oil has moisturizing properties and is therefore ideal for dry and frizzy hair.
   • Castor oil dries hair a little, but it also gives it strength, so it is excellent for both oily and brittle hair.
   • Coconut oil has a moisturizing effect and is suitable for all hair types. It will leave hair soft and shiny.
   • Jojoba oil does not weigh hair down and is ideal for oily hair.
   • Sesame oil is great for all hair types. It conditions the hair and gives it shine.
2. 2 Prepare an oil-based hair mask. Heat 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 120 ml) olive oil in the microwave; it should be very warm, but not hot. Apply the oil to hair, focusing on the ends and avoiding the roots. Put on a shower cap and leave the mask on your hair for 20-60 minutes. When the time is up, take off your cap and wash your hair. You may need to rinse your hair several times to completely remove the oil. If you have very weak hair, you can add one of the following strengthening ingredients to olive oil:
   • 1 teaspoon of neem oil
   • 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel
   • 4 drops of carrot seed oil.
3. 3 Make an egg and oil nourishing hair mask. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and 1 egg. Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends and avoiding the roots. Put a shower cap on your hair and leave the mask on for 30 minutes. When the time is up, take off the cap and rinse your hair with cool water. Don't use hot water unless you want an omelet on your head.
   • Olive oil moisturizes very well. It is also high in fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E.
   • Coconut oil not only moisturizes, but is also rich in proteins and vitamins E and K, which are important for keeping hair strong and healthy.
   • An egg contains vitamins A, D and E, which are important for healthy hair, as well as moisturizing fatty acids and a lot of protein.
4. 4 Make a moisturizing hair mask with honey and coconut oil. Mix 2 tablespoons of liquid coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of honey. Rub the mixture into the ends of your hair and let it sit for 30-60 minutes. You can wear a shower cap to prevent the mixture from drying out and staining the surrounding objects and clothes. When the time is up, wash your hair.
   • Coconut oil contains proteins and vitamins that are important for keeping hair healthy and strong. Coconut oil also moisturizes hair very well.
   • The honey will help keep your hair hydrated. Split ends tend to occur on brittle and dry hair, so keeping your hair hydrated will help keep hair from splitting less and preventing existing split ends from getting worse.
5. 5 Combine avocado, some egg whites, and olive oil for a nourishing mask. You will need 1 avocado (peeled and pitted), 2 tablespoons of egg white, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Mash the avocado with the other ingredients until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Spread the mixture through your hair and put on a shower cap. After 45-60 minutes, remove the cap and wash your hair as usual. Do not use too hot water, otherwise the eggs will cook right on your head.
6. 6 Make a papaya and yogurt mixture for a wellness protein mask. You will need 1 papaya fruit (peeled, with seeds removed) and 1/2 cup (125 g) plain yogurt. Use a blender to blend the two until creamy, then blend into your hair. Put on a shower cap and leave the mask on your hair for 45 minutes. Then wash your hair with your regular shampoo.
7. 7 Use gelatin to create a wellness hair mask. First, wash your hair with shampoo, then mix 1 cup (240 ml) water with 1 tablespoon of plain gelatin and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.Spread the mixture through your hair and leave it on for 5 minutes. After the time has passed, wash off the mixture. This will help strengthen your hair and prevent split ends, and prevent split ends from getting worse.

Method 3 of 3: Split Ends Care

1. 1 Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase. Cotton and linen pillowcases may be cheaper, but their rough surfaces can snag your hair, making split ends worse. Consider splurging on a satin or silk pillowcase.
   • If you cannot find a satin or silk pillowcase, buy a cotton pillowcase made from a high density fabric such as Egyptian cotton.
2. 2 Consider cutting your hair every 6-8 weeks. This will help prevent split ends of your hair. If you already have split ends, you will need to cut about 3-4 centimeters; this will help prevent further hair splitting.
   • With split ends under control, you can keep your hair healthy by trimming about 1.5 cm every 6-8 weeks.

   A proper regular haircut prevents hair splitting. If your hair is damaged, the ends will split into two or three pieces. But if you trim your hair regularly, it doesn't get to the point where the ends start to split. In fact, cutting can help hair grow a little longer.

3. 3 Eat plenty of protein.Protein is very important for strong and healthy hair. They won't be able to glue back the split ends, but they will help strengthen the rest of the hair and prevent further damage. Here are some protein-rich foods:
   • beans;
   • dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurt;
   • eggs;
   • fish and seafood, including halibut, salmon and tuna;
   • meat, including chicken, lean beef, turkey, pork, and veal;
   • nuts and seeds such as pistachios and pumpkin seeds;
   • soy products such as tofu and soy milk.
4. 4 Eat foods rich in vitamins and biotin. Like proteins, vitamins are very important to keep your hair strong and healthy and prevent further damage.
   • Try to include citrus fruits, broccoli or spinach in your diet - they are all rich in vitamin C.
   • To add biotin to your diet, eat more berries, fish, and nuts.
5. 5 Protect hair from environmental influences. This will not repair split ends, but will help prevent further damage. There are various ways to protect hair from environmental factors. Here's what you can do to get started:
   • Wear a hat and scarf before leaving the house in winter and a hat or other headgear in summer. Cold air is just as harmful as the scorching sun. If you are going to spend a long time outdoors in hot sunny weather, you should use a hair spray that protects against UV radiation.
   • When in the pool, wear a swimming cap to protect your hair from chlorine.
6. 6 Avoid hair products containing sulfates, parabens, and silicones. These ingredients are very harmful to hair and will aggravate split ends even more. Here's what you should avoid and why:
   • Sulfates, sometimes referred to as sulfites, are harsh detergents also used in household cleaning products. They make shampoos lather well, but they can also wash the natural oil out of your hair, making it dry and brittle.
   • Silicones are polymeric materials that help keep your hair smooth.Unfortunately, they are washed off only with sulfates; the accumulation of silicone can result in lifeless and dull hair.
   • Parabens are preservatives that can cause cancer. Try to avoid them.
7. 7 Do not expose your hair to harsh chemicals. These include perm, straightening and coloring, all of which can damage your hair. The chemical attack weakens the hair and is easier to damage. If you do use such procedures, try to carry them out as little as possible.
   • The harm can be minimized by making only small changes (for example, using tint products) instead of radical ones.
8. 8 Style your hair less often with high temperatures and use heat protection sprays. Dry your hair naturally if possible. If you do use a hairdryer, turn it on at the lowest setting. Also, try not to use irons and hair curlers every day. Excessive heat can make hair dry and brittle, which can worsen already damaged hair ends.
   • Always use a heat protectant spray before straightening or curling your hair. This will protect them and prevent dryness and brittleness.
9. 9 Brush your hair properly to avoid tugging it. Start at the ends and work your way up, brushing small strands at a time. If you have curly hair, try using a wide-toothed comb. Never brush your hair straight from the roots; this can lead to hair pulling out and falling out, making your ends even worse. SPECIALIST'S ADVICE

   Try not to use too much tight hair ties. If you use elastic bands, choose softer ones that are gentle on your hair. The tightness and pressure from the rubber bands damages the hair, and if you pull the hair in the same place each time, the elastic will rub the surface of the hair and break it.

Tips

• When you try a new procedure or product, keep in mind that it may not work immediately; try to use them several times or up to two weeks. With some products, it may take some time before you see results. Sometimes your hair just needs to get used to a new product.
• To completely get rid of split ends, you will need to trim them. Unkempt split ends can continue to split, climbing up to the roots and causing more damage.
