Behold... The mother of all split ends! (*HUGE picture inside*)

[Cania]

I was minding my own business doing a nice, calming S&D. Chopping away some white dots and the odd tiny split, feeling pretty good, when suddenly...





How long has this monster been lurking at the back of my head?
Where did it come from?
Does it mean us harm?

I'm not even kidding. The picture isn't very clear but I count a total of 29 'branches' on this single strand.

Feel better about your own splits now?


ETA: Huh, that picture looks much smaller out of preview mode..

[laceyfairy]

Wow! That is pretty cool. Nice job getting it out

[Wosie]

Now that is impressive! I don't think I've ever seen a split end like that before. It looks like the hair has got eyelashes!

[Swan Maiden]

Ack! It looks like a flea leg! I get a morbid curiosity/satisfaction from split ends.

[missblueeyes]

Wow! I've never seen something like that on my own head yet. Very impressive!

[DreamSheep]

My hair is so fine it would never split so much... it would be gone and vanished in an abyss

That is very impressive, I think you should name it! Also, super tough hair you have that it was still hanging in there

[Cania]

I knew you ladies would get it, I had to show someone

I think you should name it!

I was thinking Kraken, for her many legs.

Oh my god I am stunned...

[Nique1202]

I wish I'd been able to get a decent picture of it, but I once found a hair with about 8 splits on it. MSPaint approximation:



I've found one other, similar to that one but with only 3 splits on the feathered off part, but they've been pretty rare which is nice because otherwise I think I'd just chop it all off and start over again.

That's pretty awesome. Well, not so much if you find it in your hair, but to see... yeah.
