Split End Repair Treatments For Healthier Hair According To Experts
Split ends are one of the most frustrating side effects of growing your hair.
No matter how well you condition your locks, split ends are inevitable, in part due to heat tools, brushing, coloring, and living life!
Split ends happen to any hair type and translate into a frayed, scraggly look at the longest point, destroying the image of healthy-looking hair.
Luckily, there are treatments and steps you can take to prevent split ends from occurring.
The easiest way to treat split ends is by trimming your hair regularly.
However, if you refuse to get a trim, there are ways to prevent fraying:
start by brushing your hair correctly - start from the bottom and work your way up slowly.
avoid using hot tools, as these burn your hair's natural fats and destroy its keratin structure.
over-coloring, highlighting, or infrequent conditioning will lead to hair damage.
Of course, laying off the color and hot tools is an excellent preventative measure to take, but sometimes you need a proper hair split treatment.
However, it is essential to understand that no hair treatment can fix split ends - not yet - but rather improve your hair looks.
"All split-end repair products on the market are designed to fix the appearance of split ends," says Amy Schiappa, a hairstylist from New York.
"Once the strand has split and separated at the end, there's no treatment in the world to bring it back together, at least not permanently," she completes.
Split end treatment sprays, glossing serums, and leave-in conditioners all help improve your hair's appearance.
Overall, split ends will look less noticeable and give your hair a sleeker and healthier look.

Never underestimate the power of rubbing a natural oil onto your frayed ends.
Rubbing a natural oil onto your hair shaft has the added benefit of nourishing damaged strands with vital amino acids while minimizing the appearance of split ends between salon visits.
However, there are two types of hair oil treatments for split ends.
Hydrating treatments, where you leave the oil in your hair for 30-40 minutes at a time and wash it off after.
Reparatory treatments, where you apply the oil on your hair, and you're good to go.
The only caveat here is to be mindful of how much you're applying; it is an oil, after all, so begin with a small amount of product and work your way up as needed.

Best oil for strong hair and fixing split ends
Pure coconut oil
I am sure this isn't the first time you've heard of the beauty benefits of coconut oil (and likely won't be the last).
Coconut oil is excellent for skin, nails, and even cleaning makeup brushes, and when it comes to hair, there's no difference.
Coconut oil can treat various hair issues such as dandruff, stubborn hair growth, and, you guessed it, split ends.
To get the best results from your oil hair treatment, take a scoop of coconut oil and work it into your hair—from the ends to mid-shaft.
Then, clip your hair up, wrap it up in a towel or plastic wrap, and wait 30 minutes.
Hop back in the shower, rinse, and then shampoo your hair twice.
Repeat once every two weeks.
