4 home remedies for split ends

Home hair treatments for split ends can be a great help, because they don't cost you an arm and a leg, you often already have everything you need in your kitchen, and, you can use these methods again and again.

So if you would rather skip the expensive hairdresser’s appointment, when you know the problem is likely to arise again soon, have a read below about some unique home remedies.

1. Castor oil

Castor oil is extremely helpful in a number of ways, however at least this way doesn’t involve drinking it. Simply mix equal amounts of castor oil, mustard oil, and olive oil. The amount you use should depend on how thick your hair is.

All you have to do is apply the mixture into your hair, wrap it up in a towel and let it set for 30 minutes. Probably a good idea to wash it afterward as well.

2. Honey

Honey is great as a home hair treatment for split ends, especially when you mix it with curd. All you need is a half cup of curd and a tablespoon of honey, which you mix together well.

Massage it into your hair, paying particular attention to the ends, and let it remain there for 20 minutes. When you rinse it off, just use water.

3. Beer

This is a bit of an odd one, but people swear by it and it’s so easy. No mixing or stirring necessary, simply grab some beer, poor it through your hair and rinse.

4. Avocado

If you eat a lot of avocado, you may have noticed that your hair and skin get extremely soft. To take it up a notch, all you have to do is mash up an avocado and, after getting your hair a bit damp, massage the fruit into your hair.

Make sure you get your split ends coated. Let it set for anywhere between 15 minutes and half an hour, then rinse it out. The only problem with this one is it’s such a waste of delicious avocados!
