Home Remedies for Split Ends in Hair

Is trimming the only best option to get rid of the ugly split end hair? Is there absolutely no perfect home remedy which involves no harmful chemicals or no expensive conditioners? Worry not all you young ladies out there. We are now going to talk about a number of best home remedies for split ends and dry hair.

However, before we get to the solutions, let’s first discuss the cause of the split end hair – DRYNESS! Yes that’s right. Overuse of shampoos, long exposure to sun, no oil massages at all, hair coloring using sub-standard colors/products, excessive use of curling irons/strengtheners are all going to lead to dry hair. So now is the right time to get rid of all of the aforementioned chaos and get started with some powerful home remedies for split end hair.

Egg Yolk: While discussing the topic of nourishment and egg yolk tops the list. Depending on the length of your hair decide on the quantity of egg yolk that would mask your hair completely. Wash off with lukewarm water after an hour. Egg yolk is rich in proteins which not only cures the split ends but also nourishes them and gives a very good shine to them.

Honey has some natural soothing effects on hair. Mix one part of honey with two parts of curd and make sure to beat it well. Apply the pack from roots to tip of the hair and leave it for half an hour. Wash off with lukewarm water. Only honey can also be used in case you are running short of curd. This works well if split end hair is minimal

Oil treatment: Use any of the natural oils – sesame, coconut, almond, mustard, olive oil, castor oil jojoba oil and even Indian gooseberry (amla) oil if available. You can either mix two-three of them like mixing Indian gooseberry oil with castor oil, mustard with sesame oil or use them as they are. Best practices suggest heating up the oil just to warm it up a bit and then applying it on the scalp. This nourishes the scalp and keeps hair healthy. Almond oil is Richie-rich in vitamin-E which is quite-essential for healthy hair. Oil massaging at least twice a week or a minimum of two hours before a hair wash is highly recommended.

Papaya pack: Take equal parts of papaya pulp and curd and mix it well. Make sure the papaya is ripe enough. Apply it on the hair strands and leave it for half an hour to 45 minutes. Rinse well.

Lentil pack: Take two parts of lentils (black dal) and one part of fenugreek seeds (methi) and dry-grind it. Mix just enough curd to give it a pack kind of feel and apply on the scalp plus hair. Leave this on for half an hour and wash it off with lukewarm water. This pack doesn’t come off the hair easily but do not use extra hot water or shampoo to get rid of the pack. High patience leads to better results.

The above are the most effective, quick resulting home remedies for split end hair. However, above all it’s also quite essential to focus on nutrition and sufficient water intake to have that shinny healthy hair.
