Split ends: How to prevent them!!

I hate split ends. They make my hair look dry and cheap, when everybody knows I'm worth a million bucks!
Anyway, this is how to try and prevent them for as long as you can, so your hair can look healthy and glamorous!

 "  If you already do have split ends, cut them off! I know there are some treatments that apparently get rid of split ends, but they don't - they might work a bit, but as soon as you shampoo, it's back to Christmas tree hair. Cut them off so they don't keep splitting higher and higher - trim is the only cure for split ends! But now, you have to maintain them un-split...

 "  Get your hair cut every 2 months. If you can't afford dishing out cash for salons so often, do it yourself,or let your friend/ family member do it for you!? With the right YouTube vid and patience, it's simple as π!

 "  Satin pillowcases, instead of your usual cotton, will prevent hair tangling and knotting - the hair will slide on the smooth pillow surface. Don't worry, they shouldn't be anymore expensive than normal pillowcases! If, however, they are, buy a sleeping satin cap (you wear overnight) - it's on Amazon or in Sally's for not even £2!

 "  Brushing your hair when it's wet is a big NO-NO! Only use a wide tooth comb when your hair is wet or damp. Fine combs and brushes are only for dry hair!
      "Try to keep the heat products to a minimum! Let hair dry naturally and only use hair straighteners when it's an emergency! Trust me, you can live without heat!
 "Wear hats outside! At winter, a nice knitter beret for wintertime to protect it from the cold air, and a pretty sunhat for summer, to hide your locks away from the sun rays! This doesn't mean you have to wear hats all the time though - fun comes before hair! Just occasionally!

Love this hat!

 "Tie your hair to a bun when you go to bed. This will not only keep hair tucked up, safe from splitting, but also out of your face - hello clear complexion! Plus, if you shower in the evening, your hair will keep the nice smell from any products you used! Awesome.
 "Use thinning shears between cuts. This can get rid of some split ends without shortening your hair, before you get it trimmed properly. Do this only once between your trims.
    "Wear a swimming cap for pool time.
 "Deep condition one a month. You can do this with olive oil - just masage a small mout of olive oilinto the scalp, run through hair with a comb, and then apply gently to your ends. Leave in hair for however long you want, then either leave it in or rinse with lukewarm water.
 "Don't use hot HOT water in the shower too often. Hot showers are my love, but I enjoy them two times a week only. The other days, I settle with warm :(
 "Try to keep chemical usage to a minimum - too much treatments and chemicals will harm your hair.

Not too many chemicals!

 "And lastly, don't stress about it too much. If your hair is pretty much doomed, like mine, don't go crazy about it. Believe it or not, there's more to life than pretty hair. Just enjoy life and all of your hair off! Wahoo (this is optional, obv).
