Question

SEE I HAVE SOME SPLIT ENDS AND I WANT TO GET RID OF THEM, WHAT SHOULD I DO.

Answer 1

well, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off...but there are some things you can do to prevent getting them:
-buy a hair product like a spray or gel to put on your hair after your shower (i use pantene pro-v protein enhancement spray or something like that - can't remember the name)
-shower in cool water, since hot water makes your hair dry, causing your hair to break easier
-try not to be too rough when brushing your hair

Getting rid of split ends - How to prevent split ends?
Splits ends has no solutions; once the hair cuticle is removed, there is no way to replace it, but there are many easier ways to get rid of hair split ends starting with some preventive measures to avoid split ends including:

- Get a trim at least every six weeks.

- Try to use always coated or covered rubber bands.

- When outdoors wear a hat or scarf to minimize sun damage.

- To sleep use a satin pillow case to minimize tangles.

- Use a natural-bristle brush instead of metallic combs and brushes.

- Avoid brushing your hair when it is wet and most vulnerable to split or break.

- Stop using hair dryers, curling irons, crimpers, hot curlers, and straightening irons.

- Use regular conditioner in your hair after shampooing, and a deep conditioner once a month.

- Use shampoo with ingredients that include sunscreen and moisturizing cream in your hair if it is extremely dry.

- Try a hair split repair product; split ends cannot be repaired but these products minimize the stray hair look.

- At the pool, wear a swim cap to protect your hair from harsh chlorine and other water chemicals.

Typically, split ends are characterized by the hair split into two or three strands that can be as long as 2 to 3 centimeters in length to all the hair from end to root. The best treatment is to cut off the split end of the damaged fiber when the problem arise, thereafter the task may become a hassle if the split ends appear all over your head.

To trim your damaged hair and get rid of the split ends, just follow these simple guidelines:
- Sit comfortable near a natural light source, usually a window or outdoors in your yard.

- Take small sections of hair and twist them carefully in a gentle downward motion.

- Throughout this action any split ends will automatically stick out and is easier doing it by the day light.

- Now, carefully snip into the twist with your best and sharpen scissors.

- Cut into the thickness to remove the damaged cuticles and give a natural layered effect.

- Be careful to avoid cut the split ends right through or roughly the same amount from each twist.

Home Remedies for Split Ends

There are many products out there that claim to take care of split ends but the best thing that you can do for you hair is to get a trim.

Answer 4

Dang... use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. then use a wide toothed comb to comb your hair when its wet. tie it in a bun till its almost dry cuz the air itself can cause split ends. continue to use leave-in conditioners. Try Biosilk Silk Therapy. its pricey but there's the Generic at Sally's Beauty Supply its cheaper and works just as good. Thats the most u can do if ur not using heat styling tools. the only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them. but use hair masques and treatments to keep them like they are. Oil treatments help loads, too.

This may seem gross, sick, wierd, strange (insert adjective here) But the best way to replenish your hair is with a jar of mayonaise. Take the entire contents from a fresh jar of mayo (NEVER mix food mayo with hair mayo, eww!) anyways, get the bottle of mayo and empty the contents onto your head. Lather completely, and wrap your head in saran wrap and tinfoil. Let it sit for a half hour (it will start to smell a bit after 15 minutes or so, you may want to sit with the window open) then rinse out completely, no shampoo, just conditioner.

My friend has a best friend that goes through chemo treatments, and her doctor told her to use mayo like that, to replenish her hair. It makes your hair silky smooth. You should do it once every 2-3 weeks for best results. Goodluck!

Answer 6

the best thing i would do is go get a trim, even a little one will help, it will cut off the split ends you currently have. then i would start using a shampoo that helps with split ends. i dont know how you got them but some people get them by straightining their hair or curling it and if your doing that then you should use a type of hair sirum before you dry your hair to help protect it!

Answer 7

I used to have the same problem before, now i don't. Have a regular trim / haircut at least every 6 weeks, hair treatment/ hot oil treatment for your hair, use conditioner (to maximize the moisture on your hair, leave it for few mins. then rinse it off) and stay away from the sun as much as possible. Or put on a hat to cover from the sun & avoid wrinkles at the same time. Take note, hair conditioner works as a sunblock protection for our hair.

Answer 8

You should get your hair Trimmed every 4 to 6 wks. Also, do deep condition once every other week and regular conditioner with every wash.

And let us not forget what our grandmothers told use, 100 strokes every night with a brissle brush will do wonders.

Good Luck and Take Care of you, All of you.

Answer 9

Get your hair trimmed regularly (every four to six weeks) and use a really good conditioner being sure to wash it all out or the build up will kill your ends again. Don't blow dry so much or color if either are your case.

Answer 10

You can use leave-in conditioners or those silicone products to temporarily "seal" the ends and hide the damage, but the only way you can get rid of them permanently is to cut them off.
