We're sure you've come across a lot of articles and people telling you that it's alright to apply oil and serums and masks to your hair and it'll help treat your split ends. Well, we hate to break it to you but that just isn't true. The only way to get rid of split ends from your hair is to cut them. Split ends occur when your hair literally starts splitting from the ends and this can not only damage it but also give your hair a messy look overall.

What happens next is that your hair just stops growing. And it can be a pain to see that no matter what you apply to your hair it just refuses to grow. So, what you need to do is make sure that you get rid of those split ends. And here's how you can do it right at home. All you need is a pair of good scissors and the right technique.

Start by placing a newspaper under the place where you're going to cut your hair so that you don't end up with hair all over the room. Comb your hair well and ensure there are no tangles. Part your hair from the centre and then take a small strand from upfront and twist it around 3-4 times using your finger.

You'll notice how tiny bits of hair keep popping out of the twisted section. That is the damaged part. Take your scissor and cut off the strands that keep popping out. Repeat this all over your hair by taking small strands one after the other. Once you're done, comb your hair again and pull it all back this time. Take all your hair and give it a good twist. Cut off the tiny strands that poke out.

And voila! You've gotten rid of all the split ends from your hair. As long as you're stuck in quarantine, make sure to give your hair lots of love and so that it doesn't get damaged by the time you get to step out. Stay tuned for more updates.
