Whats the best way to get rid of slpit ends?

I had my hair layered so now my split ends are layered and I dont want to cut it all off. Am I screwed and have to cut it or is there any product that can help

Update:

I don't use anything but a hair drier every so often. I usually have it pulled back in a scrunchie or down, nothing special.

Update 2:

1 last deltail, I wash my hair every other day shampoo and condition.

    Just get them cut off, it will be easier and better for your hair just to get rid of them completely.

    Don't worry, because now that the dead ends are gone, you hair can grow faster, so it should be back to its normal length in a pretty short time.

    hey i just got mine layered too and was having split ends

    there's a product out there

    its by Dole

    its the shampoo and conditioner combined

    its the best thing ive ever used in my life

    i used to have frizzy hair and split ends within 3 hrs of being in school but now my hair lasts all day long and night*its still not having any problems now*

    I would definitely try it

    dont buy professional products they may be more expensive but they work the same

    Just tell the hair stylist to trim an inch off your layers. ("I'd like an inch off the layers, please") After you get them clipped away, use extra conditioner on your ends to prevent new ones from growing. When you use conditioner, leave it in your hair for at least 10 minutes so it can penetrate the hair shaft.

    Also try using Garnier Fructis Long & Strong Anti-Split Ends Treatment, which you can find at CVS or Walgreens. Use it by rubbing it in to the tips of your hair after a shower while your hair is still damp. DON'T RINSE IT! Let your hair dry, and that's it!

    That is a bummer. Your hair is already cut in layers, and you don't want to cut it anymore. I would not say you are screwed. Try, to find a really good conditioner, and work with that.

    Hopefully, it will grow back for you.

    I like hair cut in layers, but if your ends is splitting that is no good.

    Good luck.

    There is no way to get rid of split ends, unless you cut them off! They'll continue to get worse if you don't.

    In the future, you can use products like Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum or something like Biosilk before blow drying and straightening your hair.

    Try not to put your hair in tight ponytails. And always condition!

    Try getting Garnier Fruits and keep the conditioner in your hair for about 3-4 minutes. But the overall the best way is to trim.

    Good Luck!

    The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them off. You can temporarily mask them by using a shampoo that seals the ends, but that wears off and washes off.

    Lay off of the curlling irons, or hair straighteners... Use them only 2 days a week.. Then, get ur hair trimmed every 6 weeks. Good luck

  • There is a product from sunsilk called hydra TLC its the shampoo and stuff in the pink bottle. it is especially made for split ends.. It works amazing, and you can buy it at any drug store for like 3 or 4 dollars
