Split ends are where the ends of your hair physically split. They happen when your hair gets old, dry, and/or damaged. Once you have them, the only way to get rid of them is to snip them off (preferably by a hairdresser!). To prevent them, make sure you get regular trims at the salon and wash and condition your hair every other day.

Split ends are basically a strand of hair splitting in two.
But here is a more exact description.
Similar to skin, hair is made up of layers. The outer layer, or cuticle, consists of dead cells lying on top of one another like tiles on a roof. This protects the middle layer, or cortex, which is composed of long, coiled proteins that make up the bulk of the hair. A split end occurs when the protective cuticle is worn away on the tip of a strand, allowing the fibers of the cortex to unravel and the hair to split lengthwise.

split ends are when the ends of your hairs are split into two. ( like one hair is split in two). and it can cause your hair not to grow. it can be caused by your hair being exposed to the weather or alot of heat during the day. they can be cured by useing split end treatment shamppoo, it will say, "For split ends" on the bottle. and that will make them go away. you can also get rid of them by trimming the ends of your hair every once in a while. split ends make the ends if your hair look dried out and frizzy.

split ends are when pieces of dry hair split at the tip. sometimes, it can be gross and bumpy, and sometimes, it's barely noticable. the only way to get rid of them is to either pull them apart or trim them off.
