While true 'repair' of split ends (fusing them back together) typically requires a haircut, you can use home remedies to improve the look and feel of hair affected by split ends and potentially prevent further damage. One simple DIY method involves using onion juice.
DIY Remedy for Split Ends: Onion Juice
According to a reference from March 21, 2023, onion juice is considered one of the easiest home remedies for split ends.
How to Use Onion Juice for Split Ends
Here is a step-by-step guide based on the recommended procedure:
- Prepare the Base: Make a paste using small onions.
- Extract the Juice: Squeeze out the juice from the onion paste.
- Mix with Oil: Add a carrier oil such as almond oil or coconut oil to the onion juice.
- Apply: Apply this mixture thoroughly through the length of your hair, focusing on the ends.
- Wait: Leave the mixture on your hair for approximately 20 minutes.
- Wash: Wash your hair as usual after the waiting period.
Using such home remedies can help nourish the hair and improve its overall health, which might make split ends less noticeable or help protect against new ones forming, although the most effective way to get rid of existing split ends is by trimming them.
