Do Away with the Splits

Split ends are unattractive, make your hair look dry and weaken it too. It is not too late to get rid of those ends.

Here are a few tips you can use to have healthy hair sans the splits.

• No-No to a 100 Strokes

100 strokes on your hair before you sleep, says legend. But combing or brushing your hair excessively will weaken and damage it and cause the ends to split.

• Keep the Brush Off Wet Hair

Your hair is at its weakest when it is wet. So keep the regular comb and brush away as this will cause breakage.

Use a wide tooth comb to gently de-tangle your hair.

• Beware of the Hair Dryer

Regular blow drying will cause your hair to dry and result in split ends. So try and save blow-drying only for the one-off occasions.

• Ain't No Sunshine Needed

Yes, the sun affects your hair! It will burn, weaken and damage your hair, which leads to split ends.

So try and limit your hair exposure to the sun. If you have to go out in the sun between 11:30 am and 4:00 pm, then cover up with a hat. A sunscreen umbrella too will protect your tresses well.
