Okay, my split ends are REALLY bugging me! They're like split 8 times. Does anybody know how to stop this?? I cut them, take care of my hair, etc.. but it just doesn't help. They just resplit within 3 days. Should I be using a different kind of shampoo/conditioner? I use Tresemme and Kirkland brand. I used to use Suave or Bath & Body Works, but ever since I stopped, my hair has been more... dead. My mom won't buy those brands anymore -.-;

oo know how you feel! i get a few split ends when i strighten my hair... soo try to use a different shampoo or/and conditoner... sumthing that says on the bottle that it will treat split ends..

eww i HATE split ends..i deep condition my hair every other week tho..so that seems to help..or just get a haircut and that can solve the problem as well

yeah theyre so annoying!!! grrr

yuckie split ends well i use garnier fructis shampoo and conditioner and i havent seen a split end yet, i also use leave on conditioner by pantene and yu shuld also get the occasional trim

trim at least every 2 months.. or is that to keep it in style. and when u put on conditioner.. make sure u rub it in the bottom of your hair and leave it on for a few minutes

The people at the salon say that there's really no way to treat split ends only to just get it chopped off...Oh and chemicals and heat contribute to the split ends...(ie: straitener,curling iron,blow dryer) but maybe they're lying ^_^

Eh.. what's 'deep conditon'? Oh well.. I'll try to find some new shampoo.

Thanks for the help.

By the way, haircuts don't solve the problem for me -.-; I would have to get a haircut every 3 days.

you prolly have thin hair. you can get a coating, it'll help stop it.
i got no split ends, but it's prolly cause i have really thick hair.

excessive combing, hair drying, sun exposure, brushing, etc will cause split ends

i have no idea. maybe you should get your hair trimmed more.

wow i dont know about this. i dont get split ends. buti do get alot of dendrof. i dont know if i spelled it right

Well, I comb my hair and brush it daily. I need to But I wouldn't consider it excessive. Umm.. it's not sun exposure becaue I'm almost always inside..

Maybe it's the hair dying? I haven't dyed it recently, but yeah. I still have bleach streaks from when I dyed it red.

Thanks again!

split ends. I HAVE them. lol. yes.. they suck, a lot

I suggest you use a different shampoo then.

every freakin shampoo i use gives me split ends

dandruff =]

OMDL, I get so many spilt ends, too. I think it's also cuz your hair lacks nutrients. Do you eat a lot of fruit?

Still doesn't work?

Maybe you should just shave it all off ^^;; jk!

Try Pantene :) It's never failed me! The conditioner is AWESOME! Here are ways to keep your split ends to a minium:

1) Get a haircut
2) Don't use curling/straightening irons, it's like frying your hair...no wonder it gets crisp eh?
3) Don't blow dry your hair too much, if you do..keep it as far away from your hair as you can
4) When tying hair up in a scrunchie, don't do it too tight, it results in ripping off half of your hair. I know it's a pain to keep on tying it over and over again, but hey, at least you keep your hair right?

in seventeen (magazine), it says dat there is no proven shampoo or n e thing that can prevent split ends... except cutting dem... is dat troo?

i like split ends. when i`m bored i try to find them.haha.and when i do, i trim part of the hair strand and i star peeling the split end apart.haha.it`s very amusing.

i feel different

doing that keeps me awake in class :D

i don't think there's any way to treat spilt ends. i mean once it's split, it's split, you can't glue it back together. i think that's what it means. instead, just "nip it and nip it in the bud."

shave ure whole head off
haha JK
;]

cut em off .. orrr... use citreshine.. i bought it today the whole replenishing thing.. for damage overprocessed hair.. it's great.. you can also put some "placenta" in it...its gross but your hair will look awesome.. then theres the whole mayonase.. or avocado.. they work too.. but it's really stinky.. Good Luck!!

ummm wows u cut it off still right?
i think its just REALLY the shampoo

Haha.. I do that too! But it really bothers my when other people come up to me and start looking ofr them in my hair then ripping each one out.. for no reason!

I need to eat more fruit.

Eat fruit, drink mnre water, and don't use straightening/curling irons too much.

hiimtiffany: i read that too...like those shampoos that say they fix split ends. they just stick the hairs together temporarily and then soon they resplit again.

eat all ur nutrients and vitamins and stuff! yea, and drink water too.

ehh try a trim every now and then =]

striaghtening ur hair gives u split ends also

and maybe try some shampoo made especially to strenghten hair or something

ok i just graduated from cosmetology so i know what to do. you should trim your end every 4-6 weeks, use a heat protectant before you blowdry and style. i hope this helps.

yeah, same here. grr, i have so many split ends... and nothing really helps. but, when i'm bored, i like looking for them too.

its not shampoo that gives you split ends. its caused by damage from blowdryers, straighteners and curling irons.

you should get this special thing for your hair..

and what kind of special thing would that be????

if your hair tends to dry out easily you should try a deep conditioning treatment or a hot oil treatment, it works everytime.

I think maybe it's your shampoo. I use Pantene Pro V conditioner and shampoo and my hair hasn't split at all this year.

don't blow-dry your hair.---and yea, eat a lot of fruits for vitamins:)

me tooo. i stopped blowing my hair and use lux super rich conditioner. it's getting better now.

i have split ends too.. i hate 'em.. do split ends prevent hair growth? im asking coz dats what my friend told me..

i have split ends, air dry ur hair instead of blow dry

I comb a LOT...


Uh oh, no wonder I saw those split ends a few days ago!! Thank you so much!!! This thread is worthy!!!

straigthing or curling your hair with those hot thingies
cause your hair to spilt.
..jux cut your hair.. and condition it right.

i have some too.. cuz of straigthing my hair..
thats why i short hair.. its easy to takcare of then
long hair.

straighting and stuff.. also cause your hair to dry.
and make it look blah.. its good to use some good
products to soft'n your hair

i have a LOT of them - i just cut them off buh they come back- i have no idea what to do :(

my hair used to be to the top of my butt, and i had split ends that would split and split. gah, it was crazy. haha, and when i'd get bored in class, i'd nip the off with my teeth and split them. yep... lol, but anywho, after i donated my hair (i chopped off 14 inches) i don't have so many split ends now... and i hear using a hot oil treatment helps seal the ends. so yeah, try alberto VO5 or something. ^_^

i have split ends so i get mine cut every month about an inch or so. it helps alot.

haha. my split ends have split ends.

bath and body works..you probably shouldnt get shampoo from there. they're specialty is lotion and body stuff..not hair..

best advice i can give is use scrunchies without that metal thing in the middle... those can do some damage...

I don't get split ends, but I don't think it's the shampoo and conditioner you're using. I use Tressemme and I don't get it. Talk to a local hair stylist. Maybe they can help.

i hate those damn split ends..why why oh why we do have em...

ditto.... and i have TONS of spilt ends....

wut are split ends? err.. i don't think i have any, probably becuz i hav short hair. =P umm if cutting yur hair isn't any use, then i guess switch shampoos/conditioners like everyone else is saying. if that doesn't work, then go talk to a hair stylist or something. i heard that overconditioning causes them too. ehh.. gl tho (=

i've never had split ends...checked many many times...
and i have long hair...and i don't even remember when was the last time i had a hair cut.... i just use whatever shampoo and conditioner is around...no matter what...my hair is still shiny and dead straight....weird

but i heard that if you put more conditioner on ur ends...it might help protect them...or is it that your hair loses it's inner moisture too quickly? mebbe you should stop dyeing ur hair or straightening it or whatever...cuz it takes out the moisture...or try those hair cream that you put on ur hair and leave for awhile and wash off...anyways gd luck..
