Rid Yourself of Split Ends

I sat down with Jeff O'Neil, celebrity hair stylist and creative director at Lure Salon in West Village. If you haven't sat in Jeff's chair, you are missing out! Not only does he do amazing work with scissors, but he also is in-the-know about fashion, celebrities and HAIR PRODUCTS. He shared one tip with me that is sooo good that I have to pass it along to you.

If you have hair, you know what split ends are. Unfortunately they bring frizz and "flyways." For maintenance, we usually go to the salon every 6 to 8 weeks to trim the damaged ends because it's the only way to actually get rid of split ends. But, the best way to stop split ends is to prevent them. Jeff told me about a product that will minimize hair splitting - jojoba oil.

Jojoba oil, is a light wax extract from the seeds of the desert shrub Simmondsia chinenesis. In its pure form, apply it to the ends of your hair BEFORE you get in the shower. Do your normal shower routine, but make sure you don't have conditioner in your hair for too long. It actually softens the hair, and it can cause more damage to the hair. Jojoba oil can help prevent and fix split ends - posh mom tested & approved!
