Having a hair full of split-ends just looks extremely brittle and weak. The problem is that whether we like it or not, we’re bound to deal with them every once in a while because sun damage, heat, dust, pollution, chemicals, and hair habits can all cause split-ends. Usually people get a trim, go for expensive hair treatments at the salon or use pricey hair products when this happens, but what if you’re trying to grow your hair and are on a budget at the same time?
Well, guess what! That doesn’t have to be the answer all the time. Here are some tips that will help without spending a lot of money.
1. Egg
We know that it’s highly recommended to incorporate more eggs into your diet because it helps make your hair grow better. However, did you know that you can make a hair mask out of it too? Because eggs are high in Sulphur, iron, proteins, iodine, and phosphorous, which work well to restore and replenish the hair’s natural softness, applying the mask directly to your hair helps. You only need the white on the eggs and just leave it on your scalp for fifteen minutes.
2. Beer
Vitamin B and proteins found in malt and hops are active ingredients of beer which help repair damaged hair. While the sucrose and maltose sugar present in beer can strengthen and tighten hair cuticles. Sure you have to buy beer but if you already have it in your fridge then isn’t that a huge save? Just try not to drink the beer instead okay?
3. Honey
Honey has always been a healer, working wonders for maintaining a healthy body, hair or skin. Honey has humectant, which prevents loss of moisture, thus rescuing you from getting a dry scalp. Consequently, it will also prevent split ends as it strengthens the hair follicles. It also helps in keep your hair scalp clean due to its antibacterial properties.
4. Mayonnaise
Dry hair leads to fizziness which causes split ends. But because of the amino acids and nourishing oils in mayonnaise, your hair becomes less dry and smoother which calms frizzy hair. It also helps keep moisture from the atmosphere from easily sneaking into your strands to avoid wreaking havoc in your hair because we all know lack of moisture is the culprit behind uncooperative locks regardless of your hair type.
5. Black Lentils
Because black lentils are rich in proteins, iron, folic acid, phosphorus and fiber, your hair can experience improvement in quality when you use this as a hair mask. But for the mask, all you have to do is make a coarse powder of half a cup of black lentils and one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds and blend it with half a cup of curd. Apply this thick paste on your hair and keep it for at least an hour before washing it off with a mild shampoo. This would work even better if you incorporate this in your diet.
6. Ripe Papaya
Mix together 1 skinned papaya with 1/2 cup of plain yogurt. Let it sit for 45 minutes before you rinse it out. This mixture is not only great for moisturizing your hair which then results to lesser split-ends, but it can also help you in controlling dandruff as well as strengthening your roots which both results to less hair fall and boost in hair growth.
7. Coconut Oil
We already know that coconut oil is a wonder worker! It is one of those few foods classified as a “super food” because it is packed with nutrients which are good for the body in general, including our hair. Fatty acids found in coconut oil are rich in protein so when applied directly to your strands it helps protect it from breakage. To use coconut oil for getting thicker hair naturally, massage a bit of warm coconut oil into the scalp and hair and cover it with a hot towel for 10 to 15 minutes. This will ensure that the oil stays heated while penetrating the hair shaft.
8. Aloe Vera
There’s a lot of hype about aloe vera nowadays, numerous skin, body and hair products are actually manufactured based on this amazing plant. If you have this in your garden, why not use it instead of buying an already processed version of it? Use this as a shampoo by taking a tablespoon of its extract, mix it with two tablespoon of shampoo, half teaspoon of the wheat germ and coconut oil. The proteolytic enzymes present in this plant removes scalp’s dead cells which unclogs your hair follicles.
