My hair also likes to split - it’s fine and wavy and easily frazzled. Periodically (read: once every 3-6 months maybe?) I s&d whatever splits catch my eye (mostly my braid tail; if they’re further up I tend to let them go. I keep the ends oiled, use a strong leave-in, and wear it in a bun most of the time, a braid some of the time, and down rarely.
I suppose I consider splits to be part of the cost of doing business for me; if I were to keep them all cut out I’d have either hair that never made it longer than mbl - or else
the most psychedelic hemline this side of the Atlantic.
When I look at the other lovely heads around here I notice that our friends with M and C tend to be more diligent s&d-ers - maybe those hairs are easier to see? Maybe this is not actually true but I had perceived is to be so? I don’t know what the “right” answer is beyond “do what makes you feel good and not obsessive”
