Common Hair Mistakes That Could Be Making Your Split Ends Worse
Cutting Your Hair Wrong
If you want to get rid of split-ends, there's only one solution- to cut them. But your regular haircut may not give you the desired results. Here's how you can cut your hair to reduce them:
- Get a proper cut: If you have you have split-ends all over your hair, then the ideal way is to either cut your hair shorter or get layers.
- Cut only specific areas: If you have split-ends on the specific parts of your hair, you can totally save some bucks and cut them yourself.
- Twist and cut: Another way to get rid of 'hidden' split-ends is by taking a small strand of hair, twisting it 3-4 times, and cutting the hair that is coming out. It is an effective way to get rid of split-ends that you normally wouldn't be able to see.
Make sure you know where the split-ends are otherwise your haircut would be a total waste.

Yes, we know that the only way to get rid of split-ends is by getting a haircut or cutting the problems areas by yourself but if you keep cutting your hair yourself, you'll be left with bhot thode se baal!

Split-ends are ruthless. Once the split happens, it is game over as they only separate more. Since split-ends are a result of hair damage, it is better to stray away from practices that'll only make it worse. Make sure you...
- Do not use too many heat appliances and never use them on damp hair, please.
- Use a hair serum that'll protect your hair from within and also penetrate deeper into the hair strands.
- Use hair packs to provide proper nourishment and to make 'em stronger.
- Regularly oil your mane because honestly, champi sessions are magic.
Tying Your Hair Tightly Very Often
Another factor that is breaking your hair (and causing split-ends) can be your fave ponytails. Tieing your hair using a very tight hair tie or styling your mane in a top knot bun can cause stress to your hair and creates hair breakage.
Make sure you let your hair loose once a day, especially when you're sleeping. Try silk hair ties as they're awesome!
