How To Get Rid of Split Ends Instantly

Have you ever looked at your hair and wondered if you have split ends or is your hair  just super dry and in need of moisture?

Well now you might be saying, what are split ends and how does your hair become split? If you look at your hair now and the ends of the hair strand literally looks as if it is split into two strands….you have split ends!

Split ends are a result of damage to your hair. This damage can stem from heat, combing, washing, coloring or even wearing a ponytail. The outer layer of the hair (cuticle) starts to peel away leaving hair damaged.

One myth associated with split ends that I hear often says “your hair is not growing when your ends are split” BUT that is not true! You can’t tell that your hair is growing because as the hair continues to grow from the scalp, the ends continue to split up the strand. This will eventually cause breakage.

Here are some tips to help you rid of split ends immediately!

1. When shampooing the hair, rinse with cold water, cold water seals down the hair cuticle. Hair will be less frizzy and shinier when dry.

2. Heat some olive oil or coconut oil or almond oil in a microwave for 15 seconds. Apply to hair, massage into scalp and leave on for 45 mins, wash off with luke warm water and mild shampoo.

3. TRIM the split ends off. Keeping your ends trimmed at least every 3-4 months or 12-16 weeks will help your hair remain healthy and strong.

You will notice an immediate difference in your hair’s appearance and the way it feels when touching it.

3 Styling Tips To Help Thin Hair Look Fuller

You know that feeling…when you see that cute hair style and you know it would change your life! But wait…your hair is too thin to pull it off, too limp to hold the style and it won’t hold a curl at all! Well, there are some simple tricks you can take to pull off the style you’ve been wanting to try on.

As women age, hair typically gets thinner for various reasons but mainly because those hair follicles need a boost! Many issues with hair, nails and skin can be resolved through dietary changes.

While making those dietary changes, there are some things you can do to help your hair look thicker and add volume.

Here are 3 things you can try right away to give your hair a fuller appearance:

1. Avoid alcohol based styling products. These products make hair dry and dehydrated causing split ends and breakage. Add moisturizing products free from alcohol while hair is wet and let the hair air dry. Setting your hair when drying it also creates more body and helps you avoid using excessive heat which causes further hair thinning.

2. Blow dry you hair upside down to add volume (height). Try combing your hair in the opposite direction from which it grows, this creates volume and the appearance of fullness.

3. Cutting layers into your hair will also give the appearance of fullness and give you more styling variation. If your hair is thin but long, cutting long layers will add movement to your hair.

Here’s a bonus tip: Wearing clip-in extensions is also an option for adding fullness. Clip-ins are easily applied and removed from the hair and they add immediate density and an appearance of thickness to hair.

Taking care of the body from the inside will always give you the best outcome. Always consult a professional before taking oral supplements or medications promising fuller, thicker hair.
