Okay, this is a followup.After you cut off the split end. It is very tedious, but you have to cut them all off as much as you can it takes a lot of time to get all of them, but its really worth it. After you cut the split ends, (this could take a really, really long time) keep the ends healthy by using good shampoos like Artec, Aveda or Nature's gate. Also use moisturizing conditioners like the kiwi moisture pac. A really good leave in conditioner ( I use it myself) is Abba's nourishing leave in.This has done wonders for my hair. It temporarily mends the split ends also. But it doesn't permanently mend them. It can't permanently mend them. but this leave in conditioner helps with frizz and fuzz. It also doesn't weigh your hair down and leaves no residue, keeps your hair shiny etc. I really reccomend it.

I am sorry trey, but i am pretty sure that there is no way to "mend" split ends. In the past, I have had terrible problems with split ends which were very noticable. I don't know what you mean by cutting them to "resemble healthy ends" but i used to try to cut off one of the split "tails" and that was a horrible failure because the remaining end, while not "split", was very thin and fragile, and the hair prone to splitting further up the hair shaft. i find that split ends must be cut off completely. Either you or a friend (if you can't reach shorter pieces in the back) should carefully examine your hair for split ends and then with a small pair of scissors carefully cut that one hair just above the split. it is helpful to take a lock in your hand and bend it gently so the split ends "pop" out. sorry this was so long, but i hope it helps.

I have always been the type of person that never got regularsix to eight week trims because yes I thought I wanted asmuch growth as I could get. (What a mistake) I noticethat now I am trying to grow my hair I have split endsthat seems to be everywhere. And also breakage I can't seem to stop. I notice that the split end go up the hair shaftresembling fuzz If you know what I mean. Although, I have cut my ends to resemble healthy ones I still see them.Can split ends be saved without cutting all your hair offor all your hair to the point of no split ends. If so How?And is there a product specially made to stop or reducebreakage.Your help and suggestion are welcomed.
