Pounce over paranthas, gorge on pasta and pizza. Indulge in ice creams, desserts, chocolates. Have as many cola drinks, mocha topped with caramel and cream, but if only there wasn’t anything as calories to scare away the foodie in us.

Split ends are the result of dry and damaged hair. The ends of the hair are more prone to damage. Dandruff, excessive sun-exposure, use of hair dryers, wire rollers, wrong brushes, as well as chemical colouring, dyeing, straightening and perming can also make the ends brittle, leading to split ends. In fact, any strain on the hair shaft, like tying the hair tightly with rubber bands, can also cause the hair to split.
