People, who often complain about oily hair texture, feel the need to shampoo daily. They can opt for a mild shampoo and skip a day or two. Instead of shampooing daily, dust powder on your scalp to make the oil less visible. Wash your hair with cold water, because hot water strips away protective oils from your scalp.
8. Healthy Diet
To get the maximum results from these home remedies for split ends, focus on a healthy diet.
