2 Easy home remedies to deal with split ends and dry tips without getting a hair cut

Depending upon the texture of your hair, it tends to form a feather-like tip by splitting the hair shafts. These are called split ends and they often tend to stop the growth of your hair, if you don’t take proper care of it. The golden question here is - why do we get split ends? It is when you stop or don’t take proper care of your hair. It usually occurs on dry undernourished hair where the natural oils from the scalp do not reach the tips. Excessive heat styling, sun exposure and hot water can end up worsening the condition. One of the best tips to keep in mind is to make sure your hair is moisturised well so that it does not end up splitting. 

Egg Yolk

One of the best sources of protein, egg yolk is great even when applied topically. It gives your hair the required protein it needs, to elevate the remedy, you can even add your favourite kinds of oils to the mix.
