Is it bad to cut off your own split ends?

The only way you can completely get rid of split ends is cut them off. Unfortunately, once they’re damaged, they’re damaged. You can make them look healthy, but at the end of the day, the only way to get rid of them is to actually get rid of them. Office scissors won’t do the trick either.

Why do I have split ends right after I get my hair cut?

A: Your hair splits when the cuticle has been completely worn away. That can happen anywhere on the strand, but it’s most likely to happen at the ends because they’re the oldest hair. The cuticle is made of about 7 layers and those layers get damaged every time you style your hair.

What’s the difference between split ends and dead ends?

If your ends dry in less than five minutes, then you have dead ends, because they’re not able to absorb nutrients, much less water, so that’s why they’re able to dry so quickly. If your ends take more than five minutes to dry, you have split ends since they can still receive nutrients and absorb the water.

Can coconut oil repair split ends?

Coconut oil won’t glue your split ends back together (nothing will, despite what some products claim), but it can hide frayed ends for a short while — definitely long enough to take a picture or appear on Zoom. Simply rub a small amount over your ends. The oil will add luster and temporarily smooth the tattered hair.
