Split ends appear when your hair is dry and exposed to excessive blow drying, chemicals, strong shampoos and heat generally. So make sure your hair is properly moisturized. Oil your hair up to twice a week and leave it overnight under a shower cap then wash it off in the morning. When you apply oils, apply them to the middle and ends of your hair not near the scalp because this can cause itchiness and dandruff. Use healthy oils like coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil. Also, make sure to use shampoo containing natural ingredients to wash your hair thrice a week.
