Right angled ends

**Jorja** · January 4th, 2009, 06:18 AM

I was doing an S & D when I noticed that some of my ends are like right angles. Assuming this was damage, I snipped them off above the bend. Has anyone had this before?

Incidentally, I've found the best place to S & D is right in front of the monitor, they really show up there against the light

Yep I have them too sometimes and cut them off. Here's a great picture to show that damage can have many forms, not just splitends:

Interesting! I didn't realize there were so many different kinds...

Eeeks, when I am bored and do S&D, not a regular. I find basically most of the types you show

Hair dyes can do that, from hair that can grow without trimming for a couple of years and stay healthy to this...

@Arctic, Wow! great illustrations! and i find all of them in my hair sometimes

@Jorja, Another great place to s&d is in the car; when somebody else is driving, that is ;-)

I've seen the picture before, but I forgot that when the hair is angled it's damaged too. Now I have more to cut.

Arctic,
Thanks for posting the detailed pictures of all the different types of damage since I had not seen this before. This will help quite a bit for my next S&D session.

Wow! Thats amazing Arctic thanks! I also had the thickening thing but I though I just had deformed hair lol. It looks like an alphabet for a new language.

Now S & D can be fun, like bingo!

It does!
I have lots of bent hairs. I usually leave them alone and hope that they'll straighten up on their own or something.

The bent ones can't travel up like splits, can they?

I think they can cause other hairs to tangle and that might cause damage and splits, also they might break and the breaking point might develop a split that can travel up.
