split ends......freakign everywhere?

Question

I haven't cut my hair in....a couple of years, 1. because when I was straightening it, it just didn't grow 2. not time and no money

so, that means that not all my hair is the same length, but that doesn't stop the ends from being split.

so here's the actual dilema. I already KNOW that getting a hair cut would get rid of my split ends....but only the ends of the longest strands, what about the bunches of them that are like half the length, they're still spilt....what do I do about them.....

oh, one thing, my hair is like...insanely curly and I don't really know if my hair stylist really knows how to deal with that...so....i just don't know what to do

DO NOT JUST SIMPLY SAY GET A HAIR CUT, THERE IS A COMPLEXITY TO THIS QUESTION

Answer 1

go for a cut on the length to git red of split ends, and longer layers to get rid of the rest of them. if your stylist does not know how to work with curly hair, find someone who does. ask around

Answer 2

I have a similar problem. There are split ends up the shaft not just on the bottom in the layers. I try to have my hair all one length, but it is hard to do that because hair breaks. One thing I do is get an intense conditioner like aussie 3 min miracle or other deep conditioner and start putting it on at the ends and work my way partway up the hair. I avoid the scalp because I can get oily hair. I also leave the conditioner in for a while so it really gets into the hair. When I brush my hair I start at the bottom and gently get the tangles out and then move my way up the hair to the top of my head. I do not force through a tangle. I use a wide tooth comb to comb my hair after washing it. It is called a conditioner comb.

Answer 4

I am sorry honey, but the only cure for split ends is a hair cut! I think your stylist can handle it!

Answer 5

Uh, just for you to know, straightning your hair ruins your hair. It keeps your hair from growing everyday. Use Herbal Esenses the pink color... the new kind for turning your hair straight... and when you use it for 3 days it will be practically straight. Don't forget to buy shampoo and conditioner.

Answer 6

go to a PROFESSIONAL that know exactly what she is doing with curly hair. Try a curling gel by garnier fructis, that does the trick usually. But 100% go to a professional salon, and get their opinion!
