Treat your hair gently. Don't blow-fry, use flat irons, curling irons, hot rollers. Avoid tugging and ripping at your hair. Comb it gently with a wide tooth comb. Never brush it when it is wet. When you are out on a windy day, put it up or braid it.
These will help prevent splits, but not entirely. There is no way to repair a split. No product on earth will fix a split end. They must be trimmed off.

The best way to prevent split ends is not to put heat on your hair. this includes a dryer. Since for most of us this is not an option there are two other solutions. You can use a leave in conditioner. Bed Head makes one called Split End Mender. It is light weight and will not make the hair oily or lifeless. the other preventive step you can take is to get regular cuts. Every 6 weeks just have the very ends clipped to get all the dry hair off. This will prevent it from even starting to split.

The only repair for split ends is getting them trimmed off. There are products that will mask a split end, but once the product is washed off, the split end is back. Less use of heat, such as blow drying, and flat ironing will prevent them. Blow dry hair until you get most of the moisture out before you try to straighten with a round brush. Then if needed, flat iron only to take out the bend. There are products to protect against heat. The less heat the hair is exposed to, the healthier your hair will be!

Oh my gosh! I found a really great product that works SO well for me! It's called Schwartzkopf Bonacute Repair Sealed Ends. It comes in a blue tube that kind of looks like lotion and is fairly in expensive. [Only $10!!] I get mine at my salon. But any salon that carries Schwartzkopf products probably has it and you could probably order it online too.
There's also little changes you can make to keep your hair healthier. What I do is I use a ton of conditioner on just my ends in the shower and I also let my hair dry about 80% before I blow-dry it and I rarely heat-style/straighten it.
Schwartzkopf also makes a line of "Repair" shampoos/conditioners that I like a lot. They keep your hair healthy so it doesn't break at the ends.
But the quickest, easiest fix is just using a quarter-size dollop of the "Sealed Ends" stuff on just the ends [but work your way up a little bit] while its damp. Hope this helps!

leave-in conditioner. I use pantene pro-v because it is the bomb diggity. If you already have split ends you need to get them trimmed off but to prevent them from coming back i highly reccomend a leave-in conditioner. If you don't want to use leave-in conditioner, use regular conditioner and don't wash every last little bit out. Leave just enough so that you can easily run your fingers through your hair when it's wet.

when you get out of the shower, blow dry your hair before brushing it, this helps a lot! when its wet, its usually tangley, so all your doing is pulling hair out of your head and brushing the knots to the end of your hair. Use conditioner if you don't. and apply it mostly to the tips of your hair, this should solve your problem, Try to get a shampoo from a salon, ask some professionals what they recommend you to use.
