I was braiding my cousins hair when I notices her ends were rough they weren't split just rough shes about 12 so when I told her she got really upset and scared so I called her mother who didn't understand and was of no help. So I took apon myself applied some carrot creme but soon they were rough again I added more to them four or five times what could have caused this?

All of the above  can cause rough ends. Has she gotten her ends dusted or trimmed ever? She might need to do that.

You can use light natural oils like jojoba, almond oil, etc on your ends. The hair shaft can absorb these easier than heavy creams or oils.  You can also deep condition with cholesterol every week for a month, paying close attention to your ends.  This should make them less rough.
