Split ends.... Ladies am I right in saying that these can be a HUGE trouble in getting rid of. I know sometimes I find myself sitting for ages with my tiny nail scissors, trying to get rid of every single one because I don't want to have to cut it. If you're like me and you have long hair and really don't want to cut the ends because either you don't have time or you simply don't want to have to go through the time it took to grow it to that length... then these tips are for you. For those of you poor souls who don't know what a split end is... it's not something you would want to have.

A split end is when a piece of your hair splits into two pieces at the end of your hair. Once a piece has split it could carry on splitting all the way up to the top of your head. This could result in your hair looking really frizzy and ragged and just awful. I'm not saying that if you have a couple of split ends, you should freak out and run to the nearest hairdresser... What I am saying is that every now and then it is good to have a trim to keep your hair healthy but if you have a hard time with split ends that you don't want to have to keep on trimming... then you have come to the right place.

Ok, so you have understood that you could have split ends that you want to get rid of... but how do you do that? Well here are a few tips you can try to get rid of them which are really inexpensive and easy to do.

1. Go to your local grocery store.

Ok that seems simple, but what do you do at the grocery store? Well then you ask around for some help for a shampoo that helps with stopping split ends. Or if you think you can handle looking through all the shampoo bottles then you can just start searching. I am sure you'll be able to find one but asking someone for a recommendation can promise success at a much higher rate :)

2. Twist it.

Yeah you read that right. Once your hair is dry, simply take you hair and twist it after it's just been washed. The split ends should be the pieces sticking out of your twist. Then you can quickly snip them off and you're done :)

3. Check your brush.

Most people don't know it but your brush can do some pretty hard core damage. If you do a lot of back combing or teasing, your hair can get damaged a lot more easily. Using a brush with wider teeth to brush your hair can help avoid split ends.

4. Shine a light.

Shining a light up onto your hair will help you to identify the splits a lot more easily. This will make it quicker to cut them all rather than cutting what you think is all of them, when in actual fact you have like another random 10 pieces which split again and again before you notice and have to start cutting them all over again... A light could help you by seeing a lot more than in natural light.

5. The hair dryer can be an enemy when tackling the battle of split ends. If your hairdryer is on a really hot setting which is not suited for how thick or thin your hair is, it could make your split ends even worse. If you have thin hair like me, you should have the heat really low. For people with thicker hair, a slightly higher temperature would be best. You should never have to use the highest temperature. unless there are only two options. (namely high or low)

I hope these tips helped you and I am wishing you split end free hair. Look after your hair Ladies!

Love you all
