I read in a book about an ingredient in some shampoos and conditioners that is really important to look for.
It was called panthenol. It is suppose to be the B5 pro-vitamin and helps to strengthen the hair by filling in damaged areas, leading to less breakage and a smoother feel. It is suppose to help retain moisture (helping to keep it shiny) and thicken hair strands as well. Look for hair products containing this.
In addition, the book I was reading suggested finding a leave-in conditioner that had panthenol in it (some are even labeled on the front of the bottle) to help repair the hair follicles. The book claimed that this was the best method to repairing damaged hair and, if used properly for an extended period of time, would eventually "heal" the hair completely.
So, if I were you, I'd head to the store and look for some products containing this. Remember to pick up a good leave-in conditioner with it as well. In addition, always use products that help protect against heat styling products (like blowdriers, curling irons, and straighteners) to help prevent more damage being done. ]
split ends can't be reversed but using a thick, creamy conditioner on the ends will be a great help in preventing them. ]
There's not really a way of getting rid of split ends without cutting them off, to be honest. There are shampoos and products out there to PREVENT the wear and tear of your hair, but nothing to revert any damage done already. What I'd reccomend doing is trimming about a half an inch/inch (at least) off. This dosen't seem like it will do much, but it'll really be healthier and you'll be able to grow it longer! Remember, it dosen't have to be a full blown hair cut, just a small one. Then, use shampoos or any of your selected products found at any store basically, to prevent more split ends. Then I'd say to try to stay away from over washing it (The every other day thing sounds good), or wearing low ponytails too too often. (:
Hope this helps, and I'm sure your hair will look great!!
