5 steps to healthy hair ends


Healthy ends are one of the foundations of an overall healthy, stylish head of hair. This means they aren’t full of splits, excessively dry or brittle. Although you don’t have to cut away unhealthy ends, leaving them in place in a desire to have longer tresses is a bad idea. When ends are in bad shape, they appear thin, lifeless and drag down your hairstyle. In addition, splits can travel up the hair shaft, further damaging the rest of your mane.
Want healthy ends that only require routine trims instead of major cuts to deal with breakage/damage emergencies? Then try these five tactics.#Ali Queen

1.  Trim Them
Yes, the dreaded ‘T’ word. You don’t have to fear trims if you do them in a timely manner, and you do them the right way. Preventive maintenance is key when it comes to healthy, long hair. Trimming away 1/4 to 1/2 inch every three to four months or so is better than cutting off four inches of damaged hair once or twice a year. Plus, having to cut off so much growth can be traumatic for some women. Stick to a regular schedule for trims. If you have a stylist, however, be sure and let her know how much you want trimmed away to avoid disappointment; if she refuses to listen, you may need to find a new beautician. Or you can always learn to trim your hair yourself.


2.  Seal Them
Even if the rest of your hair retains moisture well, you may find your ends need extra help in that department. Sealing can do wonders for maintaining well-moisturized ends. There’s no set schedule for sealing moisture in; do what works for you. For some women, nightly sealing is a must, while others can get away with once per week. Also, use products that work best for you, not necessarily what everyone else is using. Good sealant products include: castor oil (including Jamaican Black Castor Oil), coconut oil, avocado oil, or any creamy commercial moisturizing products you prefer.

3.  Baggy
If you’ve neglected your ends or used a little too much heat lately, try baggying them a few times for a more intense sealing treatment. You can do this for several hours or overnight. It’s an inexpensive and easy way to add moisture back into your hair. Cheap plastic caps (widely available at beauty supply stores in multi-packs) or even plastic wrap can be used.

4.  Deep Condition Frequently
This is a regimen step everyone should do, but if your ends are suffering, add more deep conditioning treatments to your routine. If you’re deep treating twice a month, ramp up the frequently to four times per month, or once a week. Pay special attention to applying your moisturizing product to your ends. Also, sitting under a hood or bonnet dryer on low heat will help your conditioner penetrate more effectively. When looking for a deep conditioner that adds plenty of moisture, skip those that contain high amounts of protein.

5.  Avoid Excessive Heat
One of the best things you can do for your ends, whether you’re trying to gain longer hair or not, is avoiding excessive heat. Daily “bumping” with a curling or flat iron, blow-drying too often or using extremely high temperatures (even once) are all easy ways to dry out your hair’s ends. Once damage of this type occurs, it’s difficult to retain health; often, the only way out is to cut off brittle ends. There are gentle ways to get a curve to your mane’s ends and smooth them out, including wrapping or rolling the of hair around one jumbo roller.
