It's a well known fact that we can't repair split ends. But the point to focus on is - we can prevent them with a bit of care and caution. You owe your hair that much - remember - it's your crowning glory.

• Don't brush your hair when it is wet. Wet hair is vulnerable and prone to break.
• Don't use a hair dryer every time you wash your hair. Over heating your hair is one of the prime causes of split ends.
• Use a brush with natural bristles. Synthetic brushes tend to pull your hair. Natural brushes are also gentler on your hair.
• Always condition your hair after you wash it. Conditioning your hair will prevent it from getting dry and splitting at the ends.
• Protect your hair from the sun. Use a hat or a dupatta or your sari pallu to cover your hair when you're outdoors.
• If your hair is prone to splitting at the ends, trim it every six weeks. It helps to keep your hair in better condition.
• If you do end up with split ends - trim them as soon as possible.

Well groomed hair makes all the difference to your looks. Give your hair the best care you can.
