15 Home Hair Treatments for Split Ends That Work 100 ...

Home hair treatments for split ends can be a great help, because they don't cost you an arm and a leg. More often than not, in fact, you'll find that you have the ingredients in your pantry or cabinets right now! I'm rather vain about my hair so I always turn to home hair treatments for split ends – not only to save some cash, but also because I don't want my stylist to stand there tut-tutting over the status of my hair. No thanks! If you want to take care of your lovely locks yourself as well, just try some of these awesome home hair treatments for split ends that work 100%!

1 Egg Shampoos

eyewear, clothing, hair, blond, sunglasses, One home hair treatment for split ends is a simple egg shampoo. For this treatment, all you need is an ounce of rosemary, preferably fresh, a pint of hot water, and one egg. What you want to do is steep your rosemary in the hot water for about 20 minutes, then let it cool. Once it's cooled down, beat your egg into it, then massage the mix into your hair and rinse, just as you would with a regular shampoo.

2 Papaya Hair Pack

black, photograph, photography, portrait photography, vision care, For this pack, obviously, you need a papaya, a very ripe one. You'll only be using half of it, so pick one that's sizable enough for your hair. For instance, if your hair is really long or really thick, you'll need a larger fruit. Once it's halved, get rid of the skin and the seeds, then blend it until it's pulpy. At that point, add in half a cup of plain yogurt and mix again. That's all you need to do! Once it's mixed, massage it into your hair, parting it carefully, and let it stay on for 30 minutes or so, then rinse it out.

3 Castor Oil Conditioning

clothing, wedding dress, person, bride, woman, Castor oil is extremely helpful in a number of ways, but when you use it in a home hair treatment for split ends, at least you don't have to drink the vile stuff! Rather, just mix equal amounts of castor oil, mustard oil, and olive oil – again, the amount you mix depends on the length and thickness of your hair. All you have to do is apply the mix into your hair, then wrap it up in a towel and let it set for 30 minutes. You definitely want to shampoo when you wash it out!

4 Cream Tonic

clothing, turquoise, photo shoot, beauty, model, You do this treatment after you've shampooed, at which point you mix a tablespoon of heavy cream into half a cup of milk. Beat it thoroughly, then massage it into your hair, especially the ends. You only need to leave it for about 15 minutes, and then rinse it out!

5 The Honey Trick

clothing, model, supermodel, photo shoot, dress, Honey is great as a home hair treatment for split ends, especially when you mix it with curd. All you need is a half cup of curd and a tablespoon of honey, which you mix together well. Massage it into your hair, paying particular attention to the ends, and let it remain there for 20 minutes. When you rinse, just use water. This method will give your hair a gorgeous sheen!

6 Beer Rinse

clothing, hair, hairstyle, blond, woman, Beer is actually really good for your hair, and this particular treatment is simplicity itself! All you need to do is massage some beer into your hair, then give it time to soak in thoroughly. After that, simply rinse! The only bad thing is the lingering scent of beer, but hey, that's what spritzes are for, right?

7 Avocado

clothing, color, hair, blond, fashion accessory, If you eat a lot of avocado, you may have noticed that your hair and skin get extremely soft. The oil in avocado makes it an ideal hair and skin treatment – but right now, we're focusing on the former! All you have to do is mash up an avocado and, after getting your hair a bit damp, massage the fruit into your hair. Make sure you get your split ends coated. Let it set for anywhere between 15 minutes and half an hour, then rinse it out. You can add a tablespoon of olive oil for some extra sheen, if you like.

8 Olive Oil

hair, black, painting, hairstyle, photograph, Olive oil makes an effective home hair treatment for split ends all by itself! All you do is warm enough olive oil to cover your hair, then massage it into those pretty but dry tresses. Wrap your hair in a towel or cover it with a shower cap, and find something to do for half an hour – then shampoo!

9 Coconut Oil

hair, hairstyle, brown, long hair, layered hair, My favorite thing to put on my hair to get rid of those wretched split ends is coconut oil! I use an extra virgin, organic coconut oil that you can find online at a great price. All you have to do is use about 2 tablespoons and apply it on your dry hair before showering. I rub it all throughout my hair while dry, and put more on the tips, letting them soak up the amazing oils that coconut contains. These rich fats are quickly absorbed into hair, and help to repair, strengthen, moisturize, and prevent tearing. All you have to do after applying it is pin your hair up on top of your head, get in the shower, and the steam from the shower will intensify the oil's effects. Then, after you wash your body and face, take down your hair, and shampoo and condition as normal.

10 Chamomile Tea

clothing, hair, hairstyle, woman, portrait photography, To use this great technique, simply brew a pot of chamomile tea and then give your hair a pre-rinse with it. Chamomile has calming properties and works great on split ends to repair them, along with taming frizz, which can cause split ends. Brew as many cups as you need and rinse your hair with it before you wash it, letting it set in for a moment. Then, wash and condition as normal. You can also do this and leave it on longer if you want, such as while you paint your toenails!

11 Eat More Healthy Fat

hair, hairstyle, bangs, blond, layered hair, The best at home hair treatment you can give your split ends is through your fork! Pick healthy fats and include them daily in your diet. They help moisturize the hair, helping to prevent wear, tear, and split ends right where they start. I've found hemp seeds, chia seeds, avocados, almonds, and cashews to be some of the most beneficial. Try them and just see for yourself! As a bonus, you get to eat great food and you'll get great hair in the process!

12 Shea Butter Creme

clothing, hair, hairstyle, eyewear, eye glass accessory, One really effective store bought item I've found to help with split ends is shea butter. You can buy this inexpensive cream, also known as creme, in any drug store, dollar store, salon, or online. Shea butter is rich in healthy fats that nourish your ends. Put it on your hair after getting out of the shower, and apply it before you comb out your hair. Then, let it sit for a second while you put lotion or oil on your body. Finally, just dry your hair as normal or let it air dry. Doing this every time you wash will ensure you keep your split ends at bay, all the time!

13 Cocoa Butter

clothing, hair, hairstyle, singing, model, If you have dry hair that is prone to split ends, cocoa butter is an inexpensive lotion product that is great for your hair. You can buy this at any dollar store, drugstore, or online. All you have to do is apply it after washing your hair and before drying it when you get out of the shower. Comb through it and let it sit for a moment, and then dry as normal. Be sure to put some extra on the ends of your hair to give them special treatment.

14 Argan Oil

clothing, hair, hairstyle, bangs, black hair, When I want my split ends gone really quickly, I turn to argan oil. This stuff is a miracle product, if you ask me! Argan oil is rich in healthy oils that repair, strengthen, moisturize, and prevent splitting. It also helps to treat current split ends really effectively. I like Organix brand, and have found it to be an excellent product to help tame frizz as well.

15 Try Ghee

hair, hairstyle, blond, eyebrow, brown, Ghee is clarified butter, and I know it sounds a little gross to be putting butter on your hair, but ghee is rich in healthy, unrefined fats that greatly nourish your hair. You'll want to apply it directly on your ends and let it sit like a mask for a few hours. Be warned, people may mistake that you're cooking if you live with anyone, but you can assure them that it's just your beauty regimen! Ghee is also great to repair dry skin or eczema, and can even heal sunburns, by the way. You can find it online or in some supermarkets nationwide.

There are a lot of home hair treatments for split ends you can do, and they'll all keep your hair incredibly healthy. If you spend a lot of time coloring it or styling it with heat, this is a great way to make sure your hair stays in good shape, right from the comfort of your own home. Most of these home hair treatments for split ends work with any kind hair type, although if your hair is extremely thin, thick, oily, or dry, you can find something just right for that type. Tell me, do you know of any other home hair treatments for split ends that work?

MizLipz For the past few months, my hair has become so brittle and thin due to daily use of hot hair tools, monthly dye jobs - and I used to have TONS of split ends. I just started using the Shielo Leave IN Protectant last weekend and I could not be happier with my purchase! It makes my hair incredibly soft, and it already feels back to my normal thickness and strength.. I cannot stop talking about the great benefits of this product - yes, it is a bit pricey, but you really don't need to use a ton to get great results.
Rashmi Can These remedies be applied on keratin treated hair? My hair look burnt like split ends after keratin -- I guess they ironed it too much n damaged my hair:(
ThisPolyGurl_Kuma_16 For the Olive Oil (#8) is it the whole hair, or is it just the split end parts? Sorry if I didn't read it well enough... ^_^U
colorred the beer treatment doesn't smell. My mum used to do this her whole life, she doesn't even rinse it out.
Chloe For the Avocado one, how long after too I can wash my hair? If I style it after (and not wash it) will it look greasy ?
Georgia I've tried deep treatments but what remidies can I make myself at home
- Denise @Georgia The post you're commenting on is about HOME HAIR TREATMENTS. I highly suggest you read it. You will also find many posts on home hair masks and treatments if you use the search feature on the website/app.
Syifa I have split end and i wanna get rid of it ofc, so for example I'm gonna make the egg shampoo and use it so does it my split end will recover itself or should i cut it too? Please answer 👧
- Denise @Syifa Lavisenna You have to cut off the split ends. They won't fuse back together.
Nancy ☺
zack pls this is zack from nigeria i will like to know how to make hair treatment and how will i know that pls
- Denise @zack Did you mean home hair treatments?
Komalah Coconut oil works so well for me! Use coconut oil with some essential oil such as rosemary or peppermint oil :)
Amanda For everyone with fine hair, try using a tiny bit of castor oil on your ends before applying it to all of your hair. Test it out. Even with shampooing, castor oil can make fine hair EXTREMELY greasy. I used it in my hair once and it was greasy for several days...even after shampooing and using dry shampoo. Many forget to mention this while discussing its benefits. So use with caution :)
- Denise @Amanda Thank you for taking the time to tell us about the downside to castor oil. :)
neha Tried honey and avocado. Works a ton :) And hey when u say Shea butter and coco butter lotion are u talking about the body lotion ???
Lucy Nice😄
Vanessa I love argon oil
Liz Too be honest olive oil won't help you get rid of split ends or any type of oils you just need to stay away from heat and trim those ends I tried but I still have them but oils do help my hair grow
Jacqui @Sheila thanks!
anon ok...so looking again, its really only pictures 6 and 8. sorry to generalize!
anon i like this article, and these are all great ideas! i have done some of them and i often use coconut oil on my hair and it works great (and smells yummy too!). i have a question about this article, however - why the half naked, overly-sexualized photos of women for the photos? the article is about hair, right? i kinda felt like i was walking past the men's magazines at a gas station looking at this article instead of learning how to improve my hair. just an opinion.
Elizabeth Hi was told to buy Casto oil from health food store i did. It is extremely thick do I add it to my wet hair or dry? will the oil be hard to get out the following day?
- Lyndsie Hi Elizabeth! Castor oil is seriously thick, yes! Because of that, it's better if you apply it to your hair when it's dry, because it soaks in better. But it will come out just fine with a vigorous shampooing!
Alexandra which would you recommend?
- Lyndsie I LOVE the ones that use ingredients I routinely have in the house! All of these are really great, but I generally do the egg shampoo, the cream treatment, and the beer rinse, myself. That being said, it's definitely worth it to get some avocados for #7 -- you really have to make sure it's smooth, but it helps with split ends and leaves your hair SO soft! Plus, if you don't use gloves to apply it, your hands end up really smooth, too!
- Jelena Hey, Alexandra! I am a huge fan of castor oil myself but all of these are absolutely amazing and it would be a shame not to try them:) Take it slow, do a different one every week to see how your hair feels afterwards and you'll have your personal favorite in no time. Thanks for visiting All Women Stalk, stay on a lookout for more wonderful tips on anything and everything hair-related and happy DIY-ing, of course ;)
Anonymous Did the beer rinse and after about 15 minutes followed with a regular shower and finished with an apple cider vinegar rinse and my hair feels like silk. I use the Aubrey line of organic shampoos and conditioners and it all just melded into a perfect formula. :)
- Lyndsie That's awesome! I love when I "create" a new hair care regime -- congrats on yours, and thanks for reading!
Anonymous Can you mix olive oil with the honey or do you need to use the curd?
- Lyndsie Hey, welcome to All Women Stalk! There's actually a split end treatment that just calls for olive oil and honey, rather than curd and honey, so I think that would be fine. Let me know how it works!
popat simple and short solution for split end just trim your hairs regularly
Natasia ive read 2 egg yolks olive oil and a cup of water, i want to try this stuff
Alice How hot you must warm the olive oil before applied it? And how often can you apply it?
- Sheila Hey ALice, About 10-15 seconds is good. You don't want it too hot. Once a week should be super! :)
Anonymous how often would you do these on your hair?
- Sheila Once-twice a week! I would mix it up and try something new every month or so. Thank you for reading!
Anonymous what happens if you do the honey and olive oil with your hair wet? and does the hair has to be clean?
- Jelena Your hair will soak in the nutrients much better when its dry - sort of like a dry sponge:) I personally prefer to apply these types of masks before shampooing and shampoo them off after a certain amount of time. If you're using just honey you don't have to shampoo it off (just rinse well under a jet of luke warm water) but olive oil...huh... now that doesn't go off so easily and definitely needs a shampoo!
- Anonymous also, do you need to use shampoo afterwards or just rinse it??
Anonymous the 8. Olive Oil do you wet your hair before putting it in or do you put it in while dry
- Sheila Hello, You put the olive oil on dry hair. :) Enjoy!
Stephanie Do you wet your hair before applying any of these mixtures to it, and then rinse out/shampoo? (whatever it calls for..)
- Jelena It depends on the mixture. The first three treatments as well as honey and olive oil are applied on dry hair (you can wrap it in a hot towel to make the treatment more effective) while the rest of them either require wet or damp hair. Have fun experimenting! :)
Anonymous I do olive oil and honey. Heat them up and then mix them together. Slather it in your hair, especially the ends. Then wrap your head up in a hot towel and sit down and give yourself a pedi/mani. It works wonders and is sooo easy to wash out
- hunterls for the olive oil and honey...is the towel wet and do you wet your hair?
- Jelena Masks like these often require a second shampoo so I'd say that you didn't make a huge mistake. Be more thorough next time, give your scalp a good (but gentle) rub to lift and remove all residue and you'll see the difference:)
- Anonymous I did the same thing, but I had to shampoo 3 separate times to get it out! Did I do something wrong?
- Sheila Sounds amazing! I think I know what I'm trying this weekend :) Thanks for sharing.
Kristyna OK, I may be concocting a veritable hair hand grenade here but what if I mixed honey, avocado, papaya, castor oil, olive oil, an egg AND rinsed it out with beer?!?! Hhhhmmmm..... I feel an experiment (and possibly a subsequent trip to the hair salon) is in order! :-)
- Danielle @Kristyna, awesome! now we can have one MEGA Mask.
- Jelena Hahahahahahahaha :D:D:D I've never even considered mixing all of these together but I definitely like the way you think! :) Do let me know how it went :)
Anonymous Isn't honey also used to lighten your hair
- Jelena To be honest, I've never heard of that before. I know lemon lightens hair, though, so maybe there is a lightening mask that combines lemon and honey:)
Anonymous can it also make your hair less frizzy?
- Jelena Absolutely! :) Hair frizzes more when it's dry and damaged and, since all of these nourish it wonderfully, you can definitely expect both major improvements and less frizz:)
Anonymous do. not. try. the beer treatment. IT SMELLS TERRIBLE, and it will for several days! It also did absolutely nothing for my hair. I couldn't tell any difference.
- Sheila I actually tried it once and while I hated the smell, it definitely made my hair a tad better. Thanks for sharing your experience though.
thewrightmom7 are these safe for color treated hair?
- Sheila Yes, absolutely! :)
Juliana for the egg rinse and all of these after u rinse them out can u wash ur hair or should u wait a certain amount of time after u do the treatment to wash wish a shampoo?
- Sheila Hi Juliana, It's probably best to leave it on for about 20-30 minutes and I think it's best done on hair that's unwashed for a day or two.
Anonymous "All you need is a half cup of curd and a tablespoon of money" A table spoon of money?
- Sheila Thank you for pointing out the typo. It has been edited. :)
Anonymous thanks! will surely try a few of these! oh btw.. treatment no 5: tablespoon of money?? hihi yeah yeah i know.. honey ^_^
Denise Hey, I wanted to know after washing my hair with beer, will my hair smell?? Will i have to wash my hair with shampoo afterwards?? Thanks for everything you've done for me, it really helped:) Love ya!
- Sheila Hey Denise, The smell of beer will usually fade away as your hair dries. :)
Denise Hey! I wanted to know after washing my hair with beer, will my hair smell??
Anonymous hi! i wantet to ask if i can wash my hair with shampoo after i masage the egg shampoo? thnx for all your help couse it is very useful for me (: luv ya
