Split End Removal

Splitting of the hair fiber, and there are several types: 

The generic end split
Splits occurring multiple times up the same strand of hair.  A split occurring in the middle of the hair strand that will appear as a hole if the strand is bunched up. Single strand knots (not really split ends) which occur most often in dry, curly hair.

1. Get your hair trimmed regularly, meaning every six to eight weeks. All hair gets damaged after a while. Get a trim of at least 1/4 to 1 inches, and you should have solved the problem. It will remove split ends and keep your hair healthy and growing strong.

2. Cut them yourself between haircuts using a pair of hair shears. Cut about 1/4" above the split of a single strand; there may even be a small ball above the split. If you don't cut above the damage, the split will reappear.

3. Avoid products that claim to "heal" split ends. They will only temporarily glue split ends together. They may help prevent messy hair, but they will cause more damage farther down the road.
