Have a problem with split ends? Your hair is a precious thing and deserves the best care, which is why you must eliminate split ends! Here are some tips to rid your hair of split ends.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Go to the salon and get a trim. If you're serious about getting rid of your split ends, you'll first want to get a haircut. In order to remove split ends you'll have to have 1 to 1 1/2 inch of hair removed.

  2. Step 2

    Brush your hair before you shower.

  3. Step 3

    When towel drying your hair, do not bunch your hair up in your towel. If possible, let it air dry. Using a towel can sometimes be damaging to your hair when you bunch it up inside the towel and may even pull strands out.

  4. Step 4

    Do not brush your hair after a shower.

  5. Step 5

    Condition often! Do it every night if possible. Find the best conditioner you can and use it.

  6. Step 6

    Avoid curling irons, hair straighteners, and blow dryers. Basically, avoid anything with heat. Heat damages your hair big time.

Tips & Warnings
  • Dealing with split ends can take some time. Don't be discouraged. Soon you'll have healthy hair again!
