Split ends…those feathery tips that make hair look dull and messy – is one nuisance that most of us experience no matter how you treat well your hair.. of course, aside from having coarse textured hair. If you are one beauty addicts who love experimenting different types of tools and new hair products, your hair is presumably exposed to some nasty chemicals that alter the natural protein bonds in your hair, causing them to look brittle and lifeless.

Obviously, the best antidote is a constant trim, but there are solutions that you can do to temporarily heal frays or prevent them.

1Egg and Avocado Treatment

This is one of my favorite hair mask as avocado is loaded with proteins and Vitamins (especially Vit E) that are essential to repair, nourish and hydrate damaged,lackluster hair. Olive oil is known as a great moisturizer that attracts and seal the moisture that treat split ends and brings your hair back to life. While egg the whites will seep into the hair, making your hair follicles stronger and healthier. In addition, the nutrients found in egg whites work much like conditioners to add shine, texture and volume.

Ingredients:

1 avocado, pitted and skinned

1 egg white

3 tablespoons olive oil

Puree the avocado in a blender and mix with olive oil and the egg whites until you obtain a creamy consistency like conditioner. Apply the mixture to each section of your hair, cover with a shower cap and let sit for 30 – 45 minutes. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly and style as usual.

2Papaya Pack

Papaya is filled with amino acids and proteins that help restore hair’s natural shine and softness while removing build up and residue from cleansing products and chemicals. Yogurt is rich in lactic acid, and has natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties that works to stimulate hair growth and fight dandruff by acting as a natural cleanser that tightens and clarifies the pores on your scalp.

So now you have all the reason to stock up for the 6-packs. It may sound ridiculous but beer does delightful things for a person’s scalp as it is popular in treating dry hair. The malt nourishes and smooths your locks, while yeast fortifies your hair strands and inflate the volume.

Use a spray bottle and fill it with left over beer and spray it on your dry hair. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently comb your hair after application. This way, you will be spreading the beer onto your hair properly. Just make sure to shampoo and rinse completely to eliminate the reeks of beer scent.

4Hot Oil Treatment

Ingredients : Olive oil or castor oil or almond oil or coconut oil

This is a very popular treatment not only for hair splits but also to moisturize your hair. Warm the oil and massage your hair with it, from head to the ends. You can use any one oil or all together in equal amounts.

Make sure you let the oil cool down and apply the warm oil. Massage and then cover your hair with a shower cap for 30-40 minutes. This absorbs the nutrients, gives a smooth look to your hair and also removes spilt ends. Wash your hair properly with shampoo. Oil treatment moisturizes your dry, damaged hair.
