split ender

That looks pretty scary to me! There's something fake about all of the testimonal pictures - they are too uniform...something. And the inventor used to be in a rockband and didn't know that chlorox was bad for his hair?
I wouldn't use one of these gadgets.
My hair is worth the time and effort I spend doing search and destroy.

I saw the site, and yes it seems to good to be true.
Longer hair after, than those before on testamonial pictures ???

It's difficult to believe and I don't trust it.
I prefer to continue doing it one split at a time , by myself.

It's a care I like to do anyway...

( And , no, you`re not ridiculous princessmonica , I understand you.)

I checked out the website and my sister and I are so intrigued we're gonna buy it and give it a try. It has a money-back guarantee, so what do we have to lose? It's kinda pricey-about $70, but if it can cut every hair on your head only 1/8 of an inch it would pay for itself after one or two uses. Currently I pay my stylist $40 for a trim--and she's accurate, but not to the point of cutting only 1/8" off each hair. And trying to dust my split ends is way too time consuming! I'll keep everyone posted on whether or not it works.

My friend bought the revo styler. I tried it out on my hair and it just make it in a tangled mess not to mention staticy! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Hi

Lets see if I can satisfy your curiosity….

Quote: “it seems like alot of people here and Dave Decker are against any type of cut or trims”

There is a small goup of people here (myself included) who are in the no-cut camp.
Dave is a supporter but not a fellow no-cutter.
I believe the majority of posters here do trim off their split-ends, at the very minimum.


Quote: “Wouldn't you rather support growing healthy hair too though?”

Yes of course. However, it depends on what you mean by healthy.
I take the best care of my hair that I am able.
Maybe some hair will split as it gets longer.
I think that hair that has a blunt end by being previously cut is more likely to split than hair that has never been cut and has a finely pointed end.
I have observed this in the few people I have met with very long hair, and through anecdotal information from others.
So, if I trim a half inch of the ends of my hair to keep it “healthy”, I will not only take off split ends, but may create a situation that encourages more hair to split in future.
I could selectively trim the splits if/when they occur, but I will not be happy doing so, anymore than I would be having laser treatment to eliminate facial wrinkles.
I am aiming for maximum length, healthy hair. Cutting is not healthy for my goals!!

Quote: “Conditioners and oils only seal the split ends for awhile”

If at all. The main purpose of these product would be to moisturize/protect hair and prevent splits and other damage.

Kind regards

I haven't tried the split ender, but it sounds neat to me. I have millions of slit ends, my hair is just too long to cut them all off! I think I'll try it.

Thank you Uzma, interesting observation about cut ends and splitting! I have never heard this before, and I will need to think about it some, but it seems sensible. I have not cut anything but split ends for two years, and have lately been thinking of a bit of a trim, just because I have not done it for so long, I guess, and because it´s what one "should do". But honestly, I like the way it looks, all the way down. And I like the way it behaves when I bun it as well.

I keep learning something everytime I visit this sight!

I saw the infomercial for this product a few times. I also am eager to hear how it works! (but not brave enough to buy it myself; I cannot imagine that it works as good as they say...) Please post any review people. Thanks!

Hi Enfys,

Are you keeping your hair at its present length, or are you trying to grow it longer? Because if you're trimming 1cm per month, you're probably trimming off just about all that grows...

I completely agree with you about the value of judgment in split-end removal. While the split-ender tool may be a step in the "right" direction, until such a device has a means of evaluating which ends are split and which are not, and cuts only those that are split, the tool probably won't be helpful to someone trying to grow their hair longer.

I'm growing out layers, so by cutting off new growth I can keep the length and lose the layers (slowly). Once it's even at the ends I'll let it grow some more. The layers are driving me nuts because I end up with furry plaits.
