What causes split ends?
Incorrect ways of brushing, excessive blow drying and flat ironing are some common reasons that cause split ends.
How do you get rid of split ends without cutting?
You can’t! A trim every 1-2 months is the best hair treatment for split-ends. Another thing you can do is, when conditioning your hair, use a wide-tooth comb to spread the conditioner evenly. You can even use a leave-in conditioner for extra softness. Since split-ends are a sign of weak hair, a healthy diet rich in folic acid would fortify the strand’s outermost cuticle and protect it from breakage.
Why is your scalp itching so much?
A dirty scalp, or even allergic reactions, are some of the causes for an itchy scalp.

Use a wide-toothed comb when your hair is wet, and a boar bristle brush when it’s dry. Pre-shampooing is also a good tip for frizzy hair, especially if you have curly hair.
