Need Split End Treatment for My Hair
Q) - I need a split end treatment for my hair. My hair is down to my butt and I have TONS of ends that are in bad shape, I mean a lot of them.Some are at the very top, some are midway, and millions at the bottom. I have trimmed my hair but they are still there. When I read stuff like "Your split ends will go all the way up to your scalp" I sometimes start crying even when I know that it IS true. I can never keep my hair short, because it makes me look horrible and plus in my religion (Hindu) women keep their hair long. I'm just really confused and frustrated with everything and really stressed. Could you please give me some tips? I got them from straightening my hair everyday (I did 2 years ago) and I stopped. Before that I never had split ends. And I know it is all my fault and now I shouldn't be complaining, but when I did start straightening my hair 2 years ago, I had no clue or idea about them.Professional Hair Care Tips - Unfortunately there is no way to repair split ends. There are a few things you can do to help hide them however! Keep your ends trimmed even if it means cutting off a few inches, especially since you said you have so many on your hair ends. You can learn how to trim your own hair by watching my youtube video; Trim Hair Ends Other things you can do are to buy products that help lay down your hair cuticle and provide moisture for your hair. You have really dry hair right now from using your straightening iron a lot for the past few years. Deep conditioners (like Cholesterol), hot oil treatments, glazes (dry method please!), hair smoothers, and leave in conditioners help a lot. Protein treatments would only dry your hair out more, so don't use those. You simply cannot repair split ends once they happen but you can do things to make them less noticeable. Also, keep heat away from your hair! You may have used your iron on a setting that was too high for your hair. Let your hair dry naturally and blow dry it down from the top of your head if you want it to lay down. That won't hurt it. When you brush your hair, brush it out gently and comb through it with a wide toothed comb when it's wet. I did find a few products that promise to help. They are called split end menders but I don't know if you can get them overseas. I don't believe that they can mend them but they do appear to have helped some people so far. You can also try hask placenta. They should have that overseas! (product links below) Another thing you can do is to remember to take your B vitamins. They are called the Beauty Vitamins and are essential to your hair, especially Biotin, which is part of the B family. You can always by hair straightener products that help keep your hair straight without the use of heat. There are hair straightener shampoos, conditioners, and leave in products.
