Hi all, I probably need to cut off some splits but don't know the best
way to do this. Does anyone have any special method they use, or do you
just hold your hair up to the light and snip? Also, what kind of
scissors work best and where can I find them? Thanks!
Here's Purplebubba's scissor selection guide. He was a cosmetology student so he knows his stuff! I like to sit under natural outdoor light or by a window (morning is best). For some reason it helps me see the splits better. Some people like doing it in front of a monitor or a television.
Make sure the scissors are sharp and designated just for hair! Super sharp embroidery scissors are GREAT.
Use a quick snipping motion, don't just griiiind the cut
Cut perpendicular to the hair strand so that you get a "straight across" cut on the hair strand. Diagonal cuts will expose more of the inside of the hair shaft.
I like to do it in front of a bright light so I can see the plits
really clearly-my bedside light does for me. I also use sharp
embroidery scissors. Some people like to twist their hair in to small
sections so the splits pop out but because splits travel up the hair
shaft, I don't think this methods work for me because it doens't reveal
the end of the split another zillion inches up the shaft. I just pick
up random hairs and scrutinise them. But whatever you do make sure you
check further up the shaft.
