One not so fine day, while combing my hairyour hair, you suddenly discover with horror that their ends have become ugly bifurcated. Unfortunately, split ends are not uncommon. And, of course, first of all, it concerns women with long hair. All the more offensive! Growing long hair is not at all easy - anyone who has tried, knows. Taking care of them already takes a lot of time and effort, and then there are split ends. How can you get rid of this misfortune? If you have split ends - treatment is simply necessary. After all, this is not just a cosmetic defect. It is considered a real disease, which has the unpleasant name of "trichoptilosis". Of course, it can be cured. But this process will not be quick or easy. You will need patience.
- Step one
The first thing to do to eliminatesplit ends, - balance your diet. Make sure that your diet contains a lot of vegetables and fruits. Eat more fish - it contains a lot of saturated fatty acids, which are very good for hair. Perhaps you should start taking special vitamin complexes. And, of course, drink as much water as possible - it helps remove all waste and toxins from the body, and also prevents split ends. Surely, you have noticed more than once that your hair reacts sensitively to your condition. For example, when you feel bad or do not get enough sleep, it starts to "act up" and flatly refuses to lie the way you want it to. Try to create comfortable conditions for it - and for yourself at the same time. Move more, stick to a routine, sleep at least 8 hours a day and, most importantly, leave yourself enough time to rest.
- Step Two
We cut off the excess - split ends of hair.Unfortunately, you can't do without it. But don't get upset - it will be enough to shorten your hair by just a couple of centimeters. This is, of course, unpleasant, but absolutely necessary. The thing is that it is impossible to "fix" hair that has started to split. But the harm from them is great. After all, if you do not "stop the process", then the hair will continue to split - along the entire length. So you will have to sacrifice the ends. Moreover, it is better to do a haircut using the "hot scissors" method. This allows you to "weld" the cut of the hair and it will not split further. If you leave the split ends of the hair - the problem will only get worse.
- Step Three
And, of course, treatment for split endsinvolves the use of special shampoos, creams and balms. It is better to buy professional cosmetics. Fortunately, the choice of treatment products is now very large. When going to the store, carefully study the labels and buy only those bottles that are marked "for split ends". After washing with shampoo, be sure to use special balms and creams from the same series. Such products restore the hair structure from the inside and, at the same time, cover it with a protective film. Moreover, apply a little more product to the split ends.
- Step Four
You shouldn't neglect "folk" methods either.Despite their apparent simplicity, folk recipes are unique - the effect of their use can be no worse than that of expensive imported drugs. You can choose several recipes for yourself and alternate them. For example, burdock oil compresses and various masks are very helpful. But remember that folk remedies can in some cases lead to the development of an allergic reaction. And all because folk remedies are made from plants. And despite the fact that folk remedies are mainly applied to split ends of hair, it is almost impossible to avoid contact with the skin.
