Counteracting Split Ends
Remember how we said you can use Vicks VapoRub to moisturize your scalp and reduce flaking? Well, it’s also possible that the same ointment can be used to introduce and lock in moisture in your hair. That’s hardly a surprise, seeing as how Vicks is chock-full of moisturizing oils.
You may need more than one jar of Vicks VapoRub, depending on how much hair you have and how long it is. Rub the Vicks onto every strand of hair, making sure to start at the roots but putting extra focus on the ends. When you’re done, allow the Vicks to sit for an hour or two before rinsing it off.
