SPLITTING

Snip those splits off as soon as you see them. If you do this regularly the edge shouldn't get too ragged looking because you are cutting such a tiny length off. Regular maintenance prevents splits from becoming bigger and yearly trims might all that you require. A lot of spits suggests to me that the ends are too dry. Lightly oil the ends with jojoba. If dryness is not an issue then review you hair care habits to see if something else is causing splits.

This was before I remembered to look at my message for responses. And it turned out fine, but uneven, So I brought it to the side and cut it slanted hoping that it would even out when I threw it back, unfortunately it looked really horrible, I need to straighten it and I'll do that twist thing, but If I cut it any more, my parents will notice, But then i can't go to school like this! Oh well, I just wanted to thank you for your advice and I'll try it as soon as I get off the computer.

You are not misleading anyone.I use it whenever and where ever my hair feels dry. Sometimes I oil my hair and scalp before I wash my hair - it really does feel nice. I also use it as a detangler. Just recently I've been adding rosmary essential oil (a few drops) to the jojoba. I like the smell.I have also started including flax seed in my diet.
