Get Rid of Split Ends Without Cutting Your Hair

Whether your hair is long or short, knowing how to get rid of split ends without cutting your hair is a vital component of glossy, shiny hair - masks, products and tips can be found in this article.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Regular trims
  1. Step 1

    Avoid split endz in the first place. There are a large number of things that cause split ends. Brushing too hard, brushing hair that is wet, hair dryers, curling irons, straighteners, diet, dry air... The list seems almost never ending. Probably the best way to avoid split ends is to have hair trimmed every six weeks. Once an end is split, it will continue to grow worse. Six week trims help avoid this problem in the first place.

  2. Step 2

    Use the Split Ender. This innovative product promises to actually remove those ends that are split. This can be a great technique to use in between trims and to begin repairing hair. Since the only way to really get rid of a split is by cutting, this is a nice solution without chopping off all your hair at one time. You can find out more by looking at the resources section below.

  3. Step 3

    Temporarily cure split ends by using products such as intensive conditioners, leave in conditioners and shine serum. There are many additional resources for split ends listed in the resources area.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always treat hair gently, detangling with a wide tooth comb and avoid using heating and styling tools constantly.
  • Any product that offers a temporary solution will wash out and have to be reapplied. Split ends can't be cured, they can only be trimmed away.
