Split-ends occur when your single strand of hair starts to fray or “split” into more branches when your hair is weak. Split-ends don’t seem to cause much problems in the short-term. However, in the long-run, if not trimmed away or prevented, they can cause follicular damage which can slow down hair growth. But don’t freak out yet! We have selected 5 affordable non-silicone shampoos that can help you prevent split-ends and fix your damaged hair.
Why non-silicone shampoos to prevent split-ends?
Silicones are substances added in shampoos to give your hair a fake shine by coating it. They might give the appearance of healthy hair but that layer of coating does not allow your hair to absorb moisture or natural oils produced on the scalp which is extremely important for dry and damaged hair. Split-ends occur because your hair is fragile from all the damage done either by heat tools, colouring or dry hair and scalp that did not get treated. Thus, using non-silicone shampoos will allow your hair to breathe, heal and become soft and moisturized again.

TRESemme Hair Shampoo – Botanique Nourish & Replenish_New
Why we recommend this:

The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Why we recommend this:
A forgotten gem that we hope to bring back into awareness. This shampoo targets everything unhealthy and dry about the scalp to ensure that strong hair starts right from the root. Ginger extracts help to clean flaky scalp, dandruff, and product build-ups to clean your hair and allow your hair’s natural oils to produce. It also helps with irritated and inflamed scalp to prevent itching and friction that can cause split ends.

OGX Anti-breakage Keratin Oil Shampoo
Why we recommend this:
Old but gold! The OGX shampoos are a cult favourite. If you are suffering from a lot of split ends or constantly bleach and dye your hair, your hair is probably very dry and fragile and needs some SERIOUS repairing. Keratin protein is the main building block of your hair and damaged hair means there is not much of keratin present in it. This shampoo consists of not only keratin that will strengthen your fragile hair but also argan oil that will deeply condition your dry hair shafts.
Share your Review if you have tried this shampoo
Member Chinadoll3k who reviewed this on Try and Review says “It’s great for my bleached hair that gets tangled very easily. It smooths and helps to detangle my hair and left a conditioning feel even after I wash it. I would really recommend this to anyone with damaged hair” Healthier hair that will break less means fewer split-ends.
Do take note that split-ends cannot be fixed or reversed. If you have them, we suggest that you go for a little trim to get rid of the dead ends first and then find one of these shampoos to ensure you don’t have to deal with them again.
