People get their hair (on their heads) trimmed once a month or so to get rid of these split ends. They make your hair unhealthy and it won't grow as fast. As for the hair "down there", I wouldn't worry about it. It doesn't matter if it looks healthy or grows. You can trim it if you want, but that's just going to make it itch. Nobody's going to be looking at it and if anybody does get a peek I don't think they'll be looking at your hair. I hope I helped you and good luck!

They happen when the protective cuticle has been stripped away from the ends of hair fibers. Split ends are more likely to develop in dry or brittle hair, and typical causes of damage include excessive dying or vigorous brushing.
Once the hair cuticle is removed, it is impossible to replace. Typically the hair splits into two or three strands, and can be as long or two to three centimeters in length. The best treatment is to cut off the split end of the damaged fiber.
But you don’t necessarily have to go to the salon every week to keep your split ends in check. In the sixties and seventies, woman used to burn off their split ends themselves! Ouch! I’m sure you’ll agree that that’s a little excessive. There are easier ways to get rid of your dead ends before they split further... DIY (do-it-yourself) hair trims. Don’t be afraid, everyone does it!
To remove split ends:
Take small sections of hair and carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion.
Any split ends will automatically stick out.
Carefully snip into the twist with sharp scissors. Don’t cut right through; just cut into the thickness to remove the damaged cuticles and give a natural layered effect.
Be careful to cut roughly the same amount from each twist.
