hey everyone,
I was fiddling with a piece of my hair and i noticed nearly every individual strand is split! You just have a single piece of hair and its double at the ends, sometimes its quite far up and i touched one of the half-strands and it just fell off where it split. I straighten my hair everyday but i use a heat protection serum and i dont know if this has helped it split or not. I havent been to the hairdressers for a while but now im planning to and im going to get quite a bit off but the problem is some of the short, new hairs at the top are split too and i dont want my hair to be cut really short. I also want layers but not right at the top.
What i want to know is 1.what has caused my split ends? 2. do i have to go short or is there another way? 3. if you leave your hair to grow (like the new hairs) will the split ends rise up the hair strand?

Start reading the beauty magazines. They will give you verified hints and tips that help give and keep healthy hair.

I don't think you have to cut it short. Just get the bottom trimmed. Yes, I think it will grow up the strand because the splits don't move. Honestly, I don't think there is a lot you can do for the top of you hair. Sorry :o( [ BARBiE_GiRL's advice column | Ask BARBiE_GiRL A Question ]

1. straitening is a big problem in there. i had that problem now i take a shower right before i go to bed, put it up in a towel, sleep with the towel in, wake up(my hair is still kinda wet),put in garnier smoothing milk(it smells awesome and is only like $4), and blow dry it. it comes out just a strait!
2.there is shampoo and conditioner(pantene prov i think) and it repairs split ends. you could also talk to your hair dresser and i suggest getting an inch off and layered.
3. no they wont unless you make them
if you follow my advise your hair should have much less split ends by maybe the end of the month or sooner
Karen answered Thursday May 5 2005, 3:04 pm: Straightening your hair caused you to have split ends. Even though you use a heat protection serum, that doesn't stop from split ends from forming; it just keeps your hair from drying out. When you straighten your hair, you are pulling your hair at the same time and this causes your hair to become damaged and have split ends. Try straightening and washing your hair every other day and that will help. Trimming your hair will help keep make your hair grow stronger and healthier. You don't have to cut your hair short; you can just trim the ends yourself. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
