I love pulling apart my split ends. Does this do anything to my hair, besides split it in half?

Question

And does anyone else out there do this, or am I the only one?

Answer 1

I take a scissors and cut them off & then after that decide I better go get a trim lol

Answer 2

If you have a split end or ends on your hair and you continue to split them up the shaft then that means that you can't just trim your hair to get rid of the split ends, as they now are split much higher. It's not a good thing to do. It may be hard, but leave split ends alone and be sure to get your hair trimmed about every 8 wks.

Answer 3

It will cause more split ends, but otherwise, no nothing will happen. I just get my hair cut enough to keep split ends at bay.

Answer 4

It will make your hair look unhealthy and dry. If you want to take care of your hair, get it trimmed when you begin seeing split ends.

Answer 5

Haha yes, I do that when I am bored, although I wish I didn't have split ends to split :)

Answer 6

well if you pull the split ends apart you would split them in quarters this i know for sure....

Answer 7

no, pulling apart the splits will give you a spectacular head of hair. keep up the good work.

Answer 8

please quit doing this to you hair you are really ruining it the only way to repair it is to cut off your split ends and the more you tear it the more you will have to have cut off . if you really like the look it gives your hair then talk to your beautician they migh have some suggestions without the damage you are doing to your hair

Answer 9

What else do you think it should do? Isn't splitting it in half damaging enough?

Answer 10

It causes more damage and pushes the damage higher up the hair shaft.
