Homemade masks for split ends: reviews

Danko, Yekaterinburg

“The best (and 100% natural!) product for eliminating sections at the ends is kefir. My hair really needed it: dry, thin, very damaged and dyed with ammonia. I smear it on all my hair (except for the roots - otherwise the smell will remain) and wrap it: first in a film, then under a towel. I walk as much as I can, sometimes I sleep all night in this turban. Excellent result! The hair is not only soft, but there are very, very few split ends. I think if the sour milk is homemade, the effect will increase significantly.”

Causes of dry and split ends

Caring for dry and damaged hair, as well as their treatment and restoration, is already a difficult task, and without finding out the cause, it is almost impossible. The most accurate diagnosis can only be carried out by doctors - a therapist and a trichologist. However, preliminary conclusions can be drawn before going to the hospital.

The simplest causes of hair breakage are the use of the wrong shampoo, hair dryer, frequent use of dyes or heavy styling products. They are solved quickly enough - by changing the shampoo and refusing to irritate the scalp. If desired, you can use conditioner for curls - most of them have a softening effect on the hair.

The problem of dry hair can be much more serious if the cause lies inside the body.

The most common ones are:

• problems with the digestive system. Almost always accompanied by problems with the absorption of vitamins and, as a result, dry hair;
• With anemia of any type, all cells of the body suffer from severe hypoxia, that is, lack of oxygen. The blood begins to circulate worse, which becomes the reason for the appearance of problems with hair;
• Also, the condition of the hair is badly affected by inflammatory processes of any kind. They can occur without inconvenience noticeable to the patient, but with characteristic symptoms - stratification of hair and nails;
• Of course, curls can become dry and brittle due to hard water, dirty air and general fatigue.

What to do if you have dry hair and ends

Special attention and care for dry hair is what is required. The most radical, but effective option is to go to the doctor and follow his recommendations. However, there are ways to get around this:

• Establish a sleep schedule, limit the intake of junk food, and relieve yourself of stress as much as possible. It will not be superfluous, even if it does not become a panacea for dry hair;

It often happens that the condition of the hairstyle as a whole does not cause concern, but the tips leave much to be desired - dry and split ends, they spoil the whole image. Trimming them every time is not an option, especially for those who would like to grow longer strands.
