How do I make my scarves stop curling inward?

See, the problem i'm having is that they wont stop curling in at the ends...Its irritating me and I have no idea why they do it or how to make them stop

I chain 1 stitch at the end of every round to turn the scarf and work back along it, should I NOT be doing that?

I hope a more experienced crocheter can help me, I haven't been learning very long

Have you tried 'blocking' the finished item?
How you go about that depends on the yarn you use. An internet search will lead you in many directions.
{Attic24 recently showed how to block acrylic (and the difference it makes) on her bunting but the same principles will apply to any item}

Ah, I'd never even heard of 'blocking' before o.o
Sounds like exactly the answer, so thank you for letting me know
I found a great how-to right here on CO+K that tells me how to do it and I'll post the link here incase anyone else has a similar problem
