Your hair can be damaged from split ends.If you want to get rid of those split ends, there are easy ways to do it.If you want to get rid of split ends while keeping your length, try twisting or sliding your fingers down a section of hair.If the ends of your hair need to be cut, you can use sharp cutting shears to cut off a bit of length.
Step 1: A section of dry hair should be separated after brushing it.
It is helpful for your hair to be dry.Take a small section of your hair in your hands and brush it if necessary.If your hair is thin, you can take a bigger section than if it is thick.If you start on one side of your head, you won't get the hair mixed up as you go along.
Step 2: To see the split ends, twist the hair tightly.
You can start at the top of the hair section.Continue twisting until the whole section is twisted tightly.The ends of some strands should come out of the twist once the hair is twisted.
Step 3: The split ends are sticking out of the twisted section.
Most of the ends are likely to be split ends.To reveal healthy hair, use the cutting shears to cut off a small amount of each split end.Start from the top of the strand and go down.This will make sure that you don't miss any of them.If you have short hair that is hard to see, use a mirror to cut off the split ends.This will cause your hair to be different lengths.
Step 4: If you want, you can twist the hair in the opposite direction.
You can reach more split ends by undoing the twist.If you want to see split ends that didn't appear during the first twist, start twisting the strand of hair the opposite way.Cut off the split ends with the shears.If you twisted the strand of hair first, twist it again.
Step 5: Take a new section of hair and twist it.
Take a small section of hair next to the old one and twist it.Use sharp cutting shears to get a clean cut after twisting it tightly and trimming off the ends that are sticking out.Continue this process until you have trimmed individual sections.To hold back sections that you have already trimmed, use a hair clip or tie.
Step 6: It is advisable to style your hair straight and dry.
If you already have straight hair, brush it through thoroughly.If you have wavy or curly hair, brushing it will make it easier for the split ends to pop up.If your hair is wavy, you may need to blow dry it.To avoid more split ends, apply a heat protectant to your hair.
Step 7: Pull together a small section of hair.
To section off your hair, use a small comb.It's just a suggestion, but thick hair might require smaller sections, while super thin hair could handle a larger section.If you need to brush through the strand of hair again, use the comb.
Step 8: Put your hair in between your fingers.
You can weave the strand of hair under your fingers.You should only see your hair on your middle finger if you do this.You will be able to slide your fingers down the strand if you position them near the roots.
Step 9: When positioned over your finger, look for the split ends.
The ends of your hair should be visible on your middle finger if you weave it in between your three fingers.Look for split ends that need trimming.If your hair has layers, you need to make sure the split end is not just a short strand of hair.If you can't see the strand of hair, use a mirror.
Step 10: As you slide your fingers down the section of hair, clip off the split ends.
It's easy to cut off the split ends with the scissors if you hold them so that they're parallel to the strand of hair.Continue to clip off split ends as you slide your fingers down the strand of hair.You can clip off about 0.13 inches of hair.
Step 11: Take a new section of hair and do the same thing over and over.
Next to the one you just trimmed, pull together a new section of hair.As you spot the split ends, position your fingers the same way.While keeping your length, do this process around your entire head.Use a hair clip or tie to clump together the sections of hair that you have already trimmed so that they are out of the way.
Step 12: Remove tangles with a brush.
If you prefer a metal comb, use a brush with natural bristles.If you have wavy or curly hair, it is necessary for you to wet it before brushing it.Your hair doesn't need to be wet.Before brushing your hair, try to run your brush under the water.It is best to cut your hair when it is dry.It won't bend when it's wet.
Step 13: To separate hair, use a small comb.
Once your hair has been brushed through, use a small comb to gather a 1 inch section of hair.To keep track of which sections you have already cut, start on one side of your head.
Step 14: There is a section of hair between your index and middle finger.
If you want your fingers to hold the strand tightly, start at the top of the hair section and place it between your index and middle fingers.The most important thing is that the strand of hair is pulled straight.
Step 15: You can move your fingers towards the bottom of the hair section.
You can get an accurate picture of what your ends look like by keeping the section of hair straight.There is only about 1 inch of hair left at the end, so stop sliding your fingers.Pull the strand away from your neck and out in front of you as you slide your fingers down the hair strand.This will make it easier to cut the strand.
Step 16: The ends of the hair need to be cut off.
If you want to get an even cut, make the cut parallel to the strand of hair.If you have split ends that go far up the hair shaft, you will have to cut more than 0.8 inches.Just to be safe, cut off a small amount.If necessary, you can cut off more.
Step 17: If you want to repeat the process, move to the next section.
The ends of the 1 inch section of hair should be trimmed the same way they were before.The previous section can be used to cut the proper length.Give yourself an even cut by trimming the ends all around your head.If you can, have someone help you with the back of your head.Use a hair tie or clip to separate hair that needs to be trimmed from hair already trimmed to avoid confusion.
Step 18: Take care of your hair with a conditioner.
Take time to massage the conditioner onto your ends after you wash your hair.Hair can split and break for a number of reasons, but often it's because the hair isn't properly hydrated.It's a good idea to use a conditioner every time you wash your hair.On days when you don't wash your hair, you can use a daily leave-in conditioner.
Step 19: You can use deep treatments on your hair.
You can give your hair a boost by doing a deep treatment.If you don't wash or conditioning your hair for a few days, it will retain a lot of water.
Step 20: Limit the use of heat tools.
Even if you apply a heat protectant, tools such as curling irons or hair straighteners will still take a toll on your hair.It's okay to use these tools occasionally, but don't use heat appliances on your hair every day.The lowest setting for the blow dryer will cause less damage.Before using a heat tool, make sure your hair is protected.
Step 21: Use a wide tooth comb to brush your hair.
A wide tooth comb is great for detangling.If you're brushing through wet hair, use a wide tooth comb as it's more likely to break and cause split ends.
Step 22: If you want to tie your hair up, use softer hair ties.
If you use hair ties that are tight and rough on your hair, it could be a cause of split ends.You should look for elastic hair ties that don't pull on your hair.You can use elastic to make your own hair ties.
Step 23: You should get a trim every 12 weeks.
They are more likely to climb up your hair shaft if you leave split ends longer.You can reduce the likelihood of damaged hair by getting the ends trimmed every couple of months.Regular trims are important if you treat your hair with chemicals.
