QuoteReplyTopic: Revo Split Ender?? Posted: April 01 2006 at 5:07pm
I was in Walgreens today in the hair care section (I always look at hair care products in any store!) Anyway, I saw the REVO Split Ender. It only trims 1/8 inch of the hair. Removes broken hair fragments and works on any length of hair.
So out of curiosity, I looked it up on the web when I got home. I found a couple of websites that gave review from local news stations that put it to the test.
"It's easy. It might be a little hard doing the back, but other than that, as long as you can see everything, it's easy," she says.
So "Does It Work?" We give the Split-Ender a "yes". Kelli says it would never hold up to professional use though. And to be fair, it's not designed to.
So what do you guys think? Has anyone actually tried it?

I haven't tried it...not sure what site it was but there weren't great reviews. It was about a year ago...a few said the blade hardly trimmed anything. Also if I recall correctly, the split ender trimmed anything shorter than the other hairs. Here is a brief reviewhttp://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=5398.
I guess you could try it out and always return it...just make sure to keep the receipt.

I have a Split Ender. I love it! I still try to use it even though I dropped it, and broke it. I don't use it very often anymore because it is hard to use broken.

Wow, so you like it huh? How long ago did you buy it?
I don't see why not. When I used it back a year ago, my hair was very uneven. (That was before I got into eveness.) It worked for my messilly uneven hair, so it will probably work for your hair in layers. I doubt it can be as bad as my hair was.

I don't remember how much I paid for it, but I got it at Walgreens. ("At least they will take it back if I don't like it" - that was my thought when buying it)

Let us know how it works foryou Vanity...I haven't really heard any updates about this particular product. Hopefully, they have made some improvements.
So Pheonix does it get all the split ends or does it take off extra hair that just happen to be shorter than the other strands? Do you still have to do the search and destroy method?
It doesn't distinguish between splits and regular hairs, long or short. It takes about 2 centimeters off each hair that pops up within it. There's a bump inside that makes the ends pop up to get cut. It's kinda like when you trim the splits by putting your finger under the hair, and loop it in U to get the ends to pop up. It can get the hairs all at any length as long as you take small enough sections into the machine and drag it to the very end of your hair. It gets the long and the shorter hairs that way. You could stop in the middle if you only wanted to get the shorter hairs though.
I used it to dust my hair every month.

(Tip: The key to it is combing out a small section right before you put it in the teeth of the machine. Then it goes through smoothly, with no complication or unnecessary breakage. It is harder on curly hair... to get it to go through. That has been my experience. I always did it on my straight hair.)
