    split ends can be quickly eliminated with a nice trim or cut. also use a nice creamy conditoner. i recommend any pantene product. after the cut, about once a month leave conditioner in your hair over night, as a conditioning treatment. this WILL solve your problem.

    Best answer to that -- get a hair cut. When you do get it cut, do not let the hair dresser razor your hair. This will make your hair more susceptible towards getting split ends.

    Make sure too that you condition your ends first when you are in the shower and then work your way up to the roots (roots should be conditioned last because of your natural oils, but don't use too much on your roots either). Also, use a wide comb when your hair is wet. Hope this helps!

    You have to cut them off - there is no way to actually repair them...they'll just keep splitting higher.

    If you aren't comfortable cutting them all off (if your hair's really split), have it trimmed a little at a time and ask the hairdresser for any products that will help minimize them until your hair is healthy again.

    1. Trim a couple of inches.

    2. Use a a good strenghtening shampoo and conditioner for dry/damaged hair.

    3. Once a week apply virgin olive oil with a teaspoon of mayonnaise on hair(microwave the oil for a few seconds until warm). Leave on hair for half an hour. Then remove and rinse with shampoo and them apply conditioner and rinse normally.

    Twist a small strand of hair very tight. Take a pair of hair cutting scissors and trim the split ends that are sticking out of the twisted hair. That should help a lot. Just make sure you use real hair cutting scissors and only cut hair with the scissors. If you use dull scissors you'll only make matters far worse.

    first off you need to go to a good hairdresser that isn't afraid to cut your hair. after you get a good hair cut, you need to start using deep conditioners in your hair so that your hair can be stronger. also, you need to make sure that your body in an out so Id suggest Biotin vitamins. Try some home remedies like avocado and olive oil hair masks.

    my hair stylist told me that you should get your ends clipped once a month, limit your washing to like..instead everday try 3 or 4 times a week so it wont dry out, and try not to use alot of hair spray, or gel...anything with alcohol.

    Only thing you can do is get a haircut. Cut 1 inch off and moisturize well.

    First of all, you NEED to have them cut off. I use Pantene Non Breakage Shampoo. Make sure you condition your ends VERY well after shampooing.
