How To Fight Damaged, Fragile Hair And Split Ends

Wash Your Hair In Lukewarm Water– Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold

I know, everyone likes to shower in hot water but your hair doesn't. Never use hot water on your hair. However, warm water helps open the cuticle of a hair; therefore you should use it before applying moisturising and other products. Allegedly, the cuticle opens (or rises) when it comes to contact with water itself so there's no heat needed (i. e. stop wasting electricity by using a hair dryer to warm your hair). Nevertheless, when washing the products off, use cold water to close the cuticle again because it protects the hair's cortex.

Hair Dryers Usually Have This Magic Button

So use it. (There's a snowflake on it.)

Use Conditioners For Easier Combing

It is said that you shouldn't comb your hair when it's wet. It gets stretched and fragile. I tried and failed, because I need to straighten it before it gets dry. If you tug your hair when combing and stubbornly claim that nothing helps it, you're wrong (unless you're hiding chewing gums in there).

Don't Use Heat 

If you want sexy waves, leave curlers on your hair overnight. I know, it's not comfortable but it's better for your hair. If you need to straighten your hair, use a hair dryer and a comb when it's wet.

Don't Rub Your Hair With A Towel

Just don't. Period.

Make A Ponytail When Going To Sleep

And don't wallow on your hair all night long. But don't make it too tight!

Split Ends Need Cutting

Nothing else. People don't want to hear this but it's the only solution– the fastest, most effective and helpful.

Buy Some Hair Growth Supplements... And Eat/ Apply Them

This is better than eating chocolate and mourning your decision to cut the split ends. You can also search for some articles on which vitamins, minerals, etc. help. They are all over the internet, waiting for you to read them.

Use Natural Oils

They are super helpful, full of vitamins, proteins, and so on. Apply them after washing your hair, before straightening; use them as a hair mask (even overnight). They are not cheap but they last for ages. I've had mine for four months. The cheapest, yet of high quality is coconut oil (depending on the brand, of course). I personally prefer argan oil and some people extol avocado oil. They even smell wonderfully!

Purchase some, I've been using this one for four months and it's still almost full.
