We do not always succeed in adhering to the right lifestyle, nutrition, we are constantly in a hurry, worried, and all this negatively affects the state of our health, including skin, hair.
Dark circles appear under the eyes, the skin loses its tone, and the hair grow dull and split. But it is quite realistic to cope with this problem if you seriously take up the treatment of split ends at home with masks, as well as slightly changing your lifestyle.
Why does the hair begin to split
Dry and thin hair more often begins to exfoliate. If the hair length reaches 20 centimeters, they become weak due to the peculiarities of the life cycle. In addition, the follicle suffers due to constant severity.
Subsequently, the follicle exfoliates at its base. You also need to know that the average hair lifespan is 7 years. And if split ends become a victim of aggressive staining, returning them to normal will be very difficult for a long time. And frequent staining in itself is the cause of the cross section of the hair.
Also, the reasons for the cross section of the hair include:
Chemical wave;
· Temperature differences;
· Ecology, which is far from being in the best condition;
Hard and chlorinated water;
· Ultraviolet radiation of the sun;
Unbalanced nutrition;
· The use of chemotherapy and certain medications;
· Improper drying with a hairdryer, the use of other heating devices;
Poor-quality combs;
· Some diseases: parasitic, anemia, chronic infections;
· bad habits;
Improper hair care;
Fungal diseases of the scalp;
Lack of vitamins A, E, C, B.
If several of the above reasons are affected at the same time, then the risk that the hair begins to be cut off increases.
And you must always remember that hair is a reflection of the health of the body. If any negative processes occur inside, this will certainly affect our hair. Besides the fact that they begin to split, the hair also loses its color, grow dull, break.
Therefore, without treatment from the inside, it is impossible to restore the former beauty of hair. Treatment should begin from within.
Hair Treatment Steps
First of all, when starting to treat split ends at home, you need to pay attention to your diet. If necessary, it must be adjusted.
It is necessary to increase the use of products such as:
Nuts
Meat;
· a fish;
· vegetables and fruits;
Seeds.
These products contain all the necessary minerals and vitamins, which are essential for normal hair growth. In addition, it does not hurt to drink a vitamin complex containing copper, calcium, zinc, as well as vitamins A, E, C, F, D.
In addition to proper nutrition, the body must receive the necessary amount of moisture. It is because of insufficient water intake that the hair becomes dry. The daily norm is 2 liters. Subject to this rule, not only the condition of the hair, but also the skin, and life in general will very soon improve.
As for shampoos, this product should fully correspond to the type of hair, only in this case you can expect good results. It should contain as many useful substances as possible.
Important! Avoid long-term shampoos. The longer the shelf life, the more shampoo contains chemical elements that cause dandruff and dullness of hair.
It is also good to use special serums. They contain components that stick together hair flakes. The hair itself becomes smooth and shiny, the tip ceases to split.
About hair dryers, curling irons, hair straighteners must be forgotten. All of them in the process of work lead the hair to dry, and subsequently, to their dryness. They give beauty to our hair for a short time, and the consequences of their use will have to be fought for months, or even years.
If possible, it is better to go to the hairdresser, make a haircut with hot scissors. Such a procedure “seals” damaged hair, subsequently they begin to be cut less.
And the most important thing now for hair is regular therapeutic masks that can be effectively carried out at home. We will talk about such masks intended for the treatment of split ends at home.

After washing, do not rub your hair with a towel. You can only get wet easily and let your hair dry naturally. You can not comb them immediately, but after some time, when the hair is slightly dry. Use combs with rare cloves. The material from which they are made is preferred: wood, ceramics, bone, plastic. About metal combs and brushes must be forgotten.
It is also useful after rinsing off the mask to rinse your hair with infusions of herbs: birch leaves, mint, sage, dandelion, plantain, chamomile, linden, nettle, St. John's wort, coltsfoot. But rinsing is necessary not immediately after washing, but after some time, when the hair dries.
