How To: Improve The Look Of & Avoid Split Ends

Source
Hey everyone,
Let's be honest, there's nothing more irritating to us than having to deal with the dreaded split end.  Although the only true way to fully get rid of them is to trim them off, I've found a few ways to prevent more from occurring and to improve the look of current split ends on a daily basis! 



1. Use a moisturizing shampoo and be sure to finish with a leave in conditioner or a wash out conditioning mask.

Also, be sure to rinse with cool water.  Rinsing with cold water closes the cuticle and gives your hair a gorgeous shine!

2. Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb to avoid breakage. 

3. Unfortunately, extreme stressors such as heat tools, hair colours, highlights, perms etc. cause trauma to your hair which can result in damage, so try to limit their use.

4. Always, always, always use heat protectant on your hair before using heat tools on it!


Do you have any more tips for improving the look of split ends?

    I didn't know that a wide tooth comb could help prevent breakage - I'll have to add one to my shopping list this weekend!
