Brilio.net - Many people pay attention to the health and beauty of their hair. However, quite a few people actually ignore hair health. Because of this, hair becomes easily damaged, such as being too dry, brittle, tangled and split ends. Dry and split ends not only damage your appearance, but also reduce your self-confidence.

Dry hair is a condition that occurs when the scalp does not produce enough oil to moisturize the hair. This hair condition can also arise because the hair shaft cannot absorb or retain its natural moisture. As a result, hair becomes split, rough, tangled and breaks easily.

Apart from lack of moisture, causes of dry hair and split ends include lack of nutrition, hormonal changes, shampooing too often, exposure to chemicals, and many other things. Split ends are usually very dry, brittle, and appear to be split into two at the ends.

Not only that, split ends can also be caused by excessive sun exposure and inadequate nutritional intake which is important for healthy hair. Even lifestyles such as swimming too often in chlorinated water, dyeing your hair using chemical dyes, and styling too often using heating tools can also make your hair dry and split ends.

Many people think that the way to deal with dry hair and split ends is to cut it. But actually there are ways to deal with dry hair besides cutting it, you know. One way is to use natural ingredients. Usually, the natural ingredient that is often used to treat dry and split ends is aloe vera or aloe vera.

Aloe vera is indeed effective for adding moisture to the hair and scalp. However, it turns out, there are natural ingredients that are no less effective than aloe vera to help treat dry and split ends. In fact, this natural ingredient is also able to nourish hair to make it healthier. As shared by one TikTok user with the account name @skincare.indo, who only uses egg yolk and petroleum jelly.

Egg yolk content to treat dry and split ends.

Quoting Healthline, egg yolk is rich in vitamins A and E, biotin and folate. This makes it believed to be able to provide nutrition to prevent damaged hair. Not only that, egg yolks also contain a healthy fat called lecithin, which functions as an emollient.

Using it as a mask can make hair feel smooth because moisture is maintained. Therefore, hair is softer, easier to manage and shinier. Even its high protein content is also able to overcome frizz, split ends and frizzy hair.

The benefits of petroleum jelly for moisturizing hair that is too dry.

Apart from being able to moisturize dry skin areas, apparently petroleum jelly has good benefits for maintaining healthy hair. This is thanks to the mineral oil, petroleum oil and natural wax content in petroleum jelly which can create a protective layer to prevent moisture loss in the hair shaft. That way, using petroleum jelly can lock and retain moisture, strengthen and prevent hair damage.

Relying on these two natural ingredients, you can make a mask that is claimed to be able to treat dry and split ends. Regular use will also make hair softer and easier to manage. Here's how to make and use it, as reported by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @skincare.indo, Tuesday (7/5).
