I was wondering what you did that made your hair like that? I think you should watch your diet. Further, you should take more vitamins mostly vitamin E. Further, don't be afraid to spend more for your hair.

If you're having an excessive hair loss its time for you to consult a scalp expert. Anyway to reduce hair loss, avoid anxiety,massage your scalp regularly to improve blood circulation,never brush your hair when tangled,use a wide tooth combed instead,add vitamin A,E,B and calcium rich foods to your diet in addition to vitamin supplements. The best way to get rid of split ends is to cut them off. Then use a shampoo and conditioner that is formulated for damaged hair. In addition to that you can also buy an intense repair treatment cream for damaged hair,most are applied twice a week. And always apply a cuticle coat,choose a brand that isn't sticky. You can also do home made hot oil treatment for your hair, just warm the coconut milk(don't boil!) and massage it to your scalp,cover it with a shower cap for an hour then rinse. Do this once or twice a week. I tried using mayonnaise too for my hair to keep it shiny and it works. But you may not like the smell.If you're lazy you can purchase a hot oil brand instead or a henna treatment wax. But if you want a better remedy for your hair,something that is sure yet expensive,visit a salon,and have your hair treated. After the treatment all you have to do is to buy products for maintaining your hair's health. I don't wanna mention the products I'm using,I guess it's forbidden on mylot. I might sound like promoting the brand. Thank you.

Hi, Since you have split ended hair, why don't you trim your hair short,so the split ended part will be trimmed out. And new hair will grow healthier. I have a long hair and once a month,it is good to do some treatment for our hair, You can do it a home(DIY) or simply visit a salon when you are free. No harm to pamper your hair once a month. As you said, hair is important for our appearance,therefore, we have to pay extra care to our hair.

Here are some tips that have always worked for me: - Do not use too many products in your hair every day if you can avoid it, since this effects the hair badly. - Do not perm, color etc. your hair too often - Protect your hair from the sun, since sun light also damages hair. - Eat healthily since our diet also shows in our hair. But with split ends... the only thing you can do is to cut them off I am afraid. There are supposed to be some miracle cures out there, but none of them work, so do not waste your money on them!
