There is no way to mend or repair split ends or damaged hair, only resort is to remove them completely by snip snip snipping away using hair shears and then taking the proper precautions to prevent them from returning. There are a couple of different types and they all can be on one head living together.

•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 which occur most often in dry, curly hair

•(single strand knots are just as bad) (will discuss on another page)

•Now that you know what they are you need to know how to get rid of them. Cutting your ends, either you or a professional will need to have hair shears which are really sharp and only made for hair. Using any other regular sissors will cause more unwanted work. Cut about 1/4 of and inch above the damage, if not the split can reappear and depending on the care of your hair you may need to return for regular hair trims every eight weeks.

•Cut in between salon visits. Do some search and destroy of your own while you are home watching the television.

•Do not use products claiming to repair your hair, they do not work, they simply glue your ends together for a short period of time.
