I have sooooooo many split ends.... :shock What to do.....?
Suggestions?

Trim every 6-8 weeks.

I'm not very religious when it comes to taking care of my split ends though.

There's got to be an easier way! Is there?

there isn't i had a ton and i was constantly irritated so one day, i chopped them all off. i was having my hair trimmed once a month, but it is layered so they were never able to make a real dent in them. i think i took about three to four inches off, and i did it over a couple of days, but it was totally worth it. they aren't all gone, but i barely have any left. i think i found about ten after (total).

Eek, my hair would be really short if I cut 3-4'' off... guess I'll wait for it to grow

The most annoying thing is though, I've tried tons of deep-conditioning treatments that promise to help remedy split ends and none of them work at all.

As well as getting your hair trimmed regularly I would recommend Redken Extreme Anti-Snap, it helps to prevent split ends.

 

[maxfield]

that sucks! you should cut them now though, because they split all the way up to the root. you don't want to wait until your hair grows and the split ends are even worse trust me, i know how you feel but think how nice your hair will be after!

^I'll talk to my hair stylist about it. Thanks

last year my hair got really long and dead and i hadnt cut it in so long that when i finally did (4 or so inches) it ended up looking like probably 6 inches because my hair was no longer weighed down, it just sprung up!

I have the same problem but I refuse to cut my hair. It takes so long to grow...
I have been trying all kinds of hair serums from all brands but from what I have experienced, hair serums improve the way the hair looks...but looking closely, the dry ends aren't sealed.
I will have to cut the ends a few inches, eventually. I just need tips for faster hair growth...

I braid my hair every day, I almost never let it just...hang. That way my hair doesn't get tangled up, and I don't have to brush it (I never do that). Oh, and I'm religious about deep conditioning. Don't use conditioner, use a hair masque every time you wash your hair instead. My hair stylist said my hair was some of the best she had seen, and I've had two perms in three months Wanted curls, didn't woprk, permed it straight again But my hair recovered nicely, even though it's very long.

ashhghgh.

Has anyone here tried the Bumble and Bumble Dehyration therapy line? My stylist recommended to me to treat my split ends.

The most important thing you can put in your hair is protein. Moisture wont strengthen your hair, and it's actually kind of unimportant. (Not entirely, because elasticity prevents snapping. But most of a hair strand is made up of protein.)

Some cheap brands (VO5 and Suave) have light conditioners with protein in it. I actually like to use this between shampooing and deep conditioning on a daily basis. Otherwise you also need a deeper treatment now and then. Nexxus is probably the most commonly used, but I'm looking into Aphogee because it's a cream instead of a gel. As far as I know, it works better too.

If you blow-dry on a daily basis, do a treatment atleast weekly.
If your hair is processed, do it a few times a week.
If you do virtually nothing, then doing it monthly couldn't hurt.

bradding your hair usually can cause split ends.

The_Ida - beautiful hair!

My hair, too, is long.

I do not get my hair trimmed frequently at all. I think it had been six months before I got mine trimmed last... I wear mine up most of the time, so it's not noticeable when I need a reshaping. Each time I get my hair trimmed I ask how my ends look, and my stylish always says good - and she only needs to take off 1/2 inch.

I don't blow-dry my hair - I let my hair air dry.

Also, I do not wash every day... every few days, at most (I have very dry skin/hair/scalp)

I have the same problem plus my hair falls out alot I have no idea why it falls out but the woman who cuts my mom's hair said that my hair is growing (I always have it short but let it grow out)and that is why my hair is falling out so much. I am not sure if that makes sense

 

[june gloom]

^ I have that same problem too, along with an insane amount of split ends. Tresemme makes a heat tamer protective spray that a lot of people I know swear by, I used it all up and while it didn't wipe out all split ends, it certainly made a difference. You put it on before you straighten or blow dry your hair because the heat damages your hair.

bradding your hair usually can cause split ends.

I don't think it's actually the braiding that causes this, but the elastic band you use to fasten the braid can snap ends. Regardless of whether it's braided, ponytailed, bunned... take care when using elastic bands and although there is no fool proof way to avoid split ends completely, avoid the bands with metal on them.

My hair stylist told me that hair replaces itself every 7th year, and that's why I'm shedding at the moment (I'm 21 now). I still have lots of hair, though.
