Split ends are a common hair problem caused by various factors, such as heat treatments, chemical treatments, and environmental pollution. While trimming is a solution, there are effective home remedies to help treat it. Tap to know more!
EXPERT SUGGESTION
Dr Ganesh Chaudhary, Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), PHC, Darbhanga, Bihar, suggested some natural ways to treat split ends at home.
COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is extremely nourishing and moisturising for hair, preventing breakage. Apply warm coconut oil to your hair and leave for an hour before washing with a mild shampoo, focusing on the ends.
EGG YOLK MASK
Eggs are high in protein and fat, which strengthen hair. Mix one tablespoon of olive oil with one egg yolk, and apply it to your hair. Leave it for 30 minutes, and rinse it off with cold water.
BANANA HAIR MASK
Bananas increase the ability of the hair to stay strong and reduce breakage. Mix one ripe banana with one teaspoon of coconut oil, and apply it to your scalp. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse it off.
ALOE VERA
Aloe vera repairs damaged hair and promotes growth. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the scalp and ends of the hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it off with cold water.
PAPAYA YOGHURT MASK
Papaya contains folic acid, which nourishes hair. Mix half a papaya with half a cup of yoghurt and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing.
