Today am going to share how to prevent split ends. Dry brittle hair are always affected by split ends. The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut it. But we can prevent our hair from split ends. The reasons for split ends are lack of moisture, body heat, chemically treated hair, over washing hair, using harsh sulfates and chemicals to wash the hair and many more. So am going to share precautions for all reasons.
CASTOR OIL:
Castor oil helps to prevent split ends. It has essential fatty acids to calm the cuticles.
⦁ Wet your hair ends and apply 2 to 3 drops of castor oil at hair ends before washing your hair and leave it over night.
⦁ Next day wash your hair asusual. This will prevent split ends due to lack of moisture.

Banana has required minerals in order to maintain health of hair cuticles.
⦁ Mash 1 over ripe banana and add 2 to 5 spoons of honey to it.
