Always splits, I give up.

I get my hair cut and I find a splits a week or little bit later. I give up.

I have dark hair, and so I guess they show up even more. I'm also guessing that it is my long curly hair which is fine but thick in density. Maybe I need to wear it down less, because that is my preferred style??

I never use hair dryers or any sort of tool on it. I do use a gentle conditioner that is sulfate free when I wash. I use lots of condish, and try to do a deep treatment once a week.


*sigh*

Do you cut it yourself? if so maybe your scissors are blunt which can cause even more splits, if not try switching hair dressers.

Maybe you haven't been doing it long enough to make a difference?

Check out the thread on catnip tea soaks to prevent splits, worked wonders for me. Good luck!

Hm, I find splits are more visible on light hair. Maybe your hair needs more protein. How has your diet been lately? You might want to look into a conditioner that strengthens (with wheat protein etc)

I would say the biggest issue is wearing your hair down. Try wearing your hair up in a protective sty;e at least one day more per week and see if that cuts down on the splits. :)

My hair likes to split, too. But I'm not giving up. I'd rather have long hair with splits on the end than short, bushy hair that takes a lot of effort to control.

It could be the hair stylist. Next time I'll ask if her scissors are sharp. ;)

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll try catnip and see if that works. Perhaps it could be a protein issue. So I guess I'll experiment with a protein mask.

I gave up on splits quite a while ago, too - that is, I gave up on trying to give the slightest damn :D .
Yeah, my hair splits - so what ? I seem to be doing pretty well enough with them, thankyouverymuch.

If the splits are on the freshly cut ends (not up in the length where the scissors wouldn't have gotten them anyway), blame the scissors. Wearing hair in a protective style will prevent splits over wearing it loose, but even loose hair shouldn't be splitting after a week.
