How to fix split ends?
The truth is…the best and easiest way to eliminate split ends is to cut them off. If you’re concerned about length, a master stylist can reduce split ends by crafting long layers which will keep your length, but trim away the damaged hair. If cutting isn’t an option, consider some of these split end mending “medicines”.

- Towel dryer your hair by patting it not by rubbing it, consider the DevaTowel, this is an anti-frizz microfiber towel, which absorbs water and keeps the frizz and split ends away.
- Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks at least an inch, the longer you leave the split ends, the more it can travel up the hair shaft causing more splitting.
- Combing through your hair before showering with a Wet Pro Comb will purge the knots, tugging at wet hair will cause breakage and splitting. In addition it’s also important to use the comb inside the shower to saturate the conditioner throughout the whole head from roots to ends.
- Rinsing with cool water versus hot. This will seal the hair shaft, keeping the cuticle hydrated and healthy preventing split ends.
- Brushing your wet hair gently with a Wet brush without pulling, jerking, and yanking will help eliminate split ends. Hair is the most fragile when wet. A wet brush is great not only for your shower, take it to the beach or the pool!
Your hair is your #1 accessory, take care and be gentle with it, regular trims, a good quality shampoo and conditioner, and keeping appliances at a minimum- with this, you’ll have hair bliss!!
