Split Ends Blues

Do you have the split ends blues? Have you read somewhere that clipping your damaged ends will make your hair grow leaps and bounds? Well, I am here to tell you that you do NOT have to trim those ends EVERY MONTH! Find yourself a good oil based product to use as a "sealer" that will protect your ends and aid them in splitting all the way up the shaft of your hair. THIS along with minimal trimming, or dusting will help you retain length.

A Closer Look At Split Ends

This is what split ends look like... Scary isn't it? It looks like a creature from a horror movie. Split ends, or as the hair experts call it, trichoptilosis, is a common problem for many people. Split ends occur when the protective cuticle is destroyed at the end of the hair. The hair will then split into two or more strands. It might look like nothing now but once your natural curls begin to become more apparent those frayed ends will become more obvious; but DON'T PANIC!
