End split-ends

 

The number-one complaint that most women have nowadays is frizzy split ends in the hair. Young or old women with long or short hair go through this hairy issue. With new trends in hair technology including coloring, perming, straightening, styling using heat rods etc.etc., have also resulted in extensive hair damage where the internal hair structure is exposed causing splits. The only option left is to cut the splits arising out of it. But this can’t be done every time so the other option would be to prevent it from recurring.

Gets a good hair spa done using branded products once a month as the leave-on effect of these hair creams help in protecting the hair from split ends.

And last but not the least Grandma’s hot oil massage done once a week is the best thing you could do for your hair. Don’t forget the 15 minute relaxing massage!
