SPLIT ENDS
My hair is generally healthy, except at the ends...I have terrible split ends. I hardly ever use a blow dryer or straighten my hair (I generally towel dry and put my hair up). Part of the problem might be that my hair is coarse and need more conditioning...I've actually switched to Trader Joe's shampoo, which is mostly natural, so it doesn't have any wax or anything that could mask split ends. I really want to try growing out my hair, but with such damaged ends, that'll be hard, unless I get a trim. But....what are some other things i could do to at least mask split ends, before I go out and get the much needed trim?

I went to hairdressing school, and to be honest all my teacher would ever say to me was CUT THEM OFF. I had terrible split ends, but I wanted to grow out my hair.
Since you don't do anything really that can over-damage your hair, I'm suggesting that you start using Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum. It's not that expensive, and it lasts. Since you don't blow dry your hair or use a straightener, just squeeze about a dime size amount in your hair and only on the ends of your hair.
I don't know if you have any bleach in your hair, but if you do, of if you have... it can really do a number on it. For a year after I bleached I had splits no matter what I did or how much I cut off.
Buy conditioners that are made for dry and damaged hair. Leave them in for 1-2 minutes even if the bottle tells you otherwise.
Good luck!

Go out and get a good deep conditioning treatment. Best place to get one is at the salon, for you do get what you pay for on something like that.
They recommend deep conditioning once a week- When my hair is all dry like yours, I do it twice a week.
After you get your trim, don't stop using it. Use it once a week, to prevent having this split end issue again.
