Taking care of split ends is more about maintenance than anything else. First thing should be to ensure that your hair is perfectly hydrated and well oiled. Doing this would not only treat split ends but also prevent it from occurring.
Several concoctions are available over the net but here are a few of mine, I tweaked a bit so that it conforms to what I like.
Avocado Split - While hair is damp, mash a ripe avocado in a bowl. Leave on your scalp and hair for about 30-45mins then wash off with lukewarm water. If you do not have avocado (since they are only present in the store when its their season) you can use mayonnaise as a substitute.
Organic Hot Oil Treatment - for this I prefer lavender oil as a hot oil organic treatment. My base oil is lavender oil but you can use jojoba oil. Using aromatherapy by mixing 10 drops of either rosemary or sandalwood can also be done ( I prefer rosemary because of the relaxing smell overnight). Adding the mixture to base oil and rubbing it thoroughly into hair. Some people doesn't like leaving them overnight but I do that so that the oil can penetrate well into my hair follices. Just wash thoroughly with lukewarm water in the morning.
Egg Yolk Therapy - 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of almond oil are the simple ingredients for this. Mix well and apply on your scalp. Better use your fingertips to ensure that the mixture goes into your scalp. Let it sit for an hour and rinse. Wash thoroughly or the egg yolk residue might turn into debris that later on will cause dandruff.
The hair happens to be at its most vulnerable just after a shower, so avoid brushing it at this point instead use a wide tooth comb. Great looking hair can add a very emphatic amount of panache and elegance to almost any appearance. Go on say "goodbye" to split ends, its one relationship worth ending anytime. Hair care treatments need not to be expensive
