My Ends Need Help

Well since im tryin to get my hair to grow and look good I decided to go to the the lady that used to do my hair when I was little (and it was long, almost down to my waist, thick and had lots of body).  So since I've been busy I finally went yesterday after about a month without seeing her.  Well last time I was there I have to get my ends cut because they were split and then this time I she had to clip a few of my ends because they were split.  So now I'm wondering what can I do in order to keep my ends from not spliting. 

I second the baggie method, ive been using this method for a while with great success.

Also stop brushing your hair and most importantly read topic I wrote on my tip on hair combs, you could be tearing your hair.

Thanks for all the help.  After a while I was thinking that no one was going to answer my question.

Speaking of... I have been so tempted to trim my hair lately. There is this stylist I know of that is amazing at cuts and I wanted him to trim my ends and give my hair some shape. But my hair has grown quite a bit and I'm concerned about what will happen if I trust somebody in my hair again [IMG]smileys/smiley5.gif" align="middle" /> Maybe I will wait a little longer...

I am like you a want my ends to look straight, but guess what if you dont have split ends, DONT CUT....if you keep oil on the tips you will deffinetly not get splits.....put the coco on the tips or the jojoba.......I found that the Virgin Coconut oil keeps my hair soft and silky between washing....I was 1-2 times per week.

Hey Deon09, I started to notice splits a few months ago because I was using a waaaay too hot temp on my flat iron if you use alot of heat that may be why your experiencing splits? Moisture is the way to prevent splits...I love Salerm 21 or Neutrogena Silk touch sealed with oil. Good idea getting twists this will give your hair a rest

HI DEON, I tried that and also used it on my little girls hair, but I just found that every oil moisturizer I used would only last part of the day, my hair would be dry all over agin.  I been thu African pride, carrot oil, their shea brand, QP,  but all seem to just soak up and not last and then I would have so much build up from constantly putting on the oils.....

remember none of these oils should be on your scalp.....but they would get on my scalp and then I itch....so I just wasnt happy, until I read on the jojoba and the coconut oil

I did order the pure shea butter, but, to heavy and made my scalp itchy also.

if you can not get that book ask someone to buy it for as a gift, or save up and send a money order to get it.  this book is helpful I hair issues, natural, weaves, braids, ect

yes I totally agree with you, moisture is the #1 key to soft  hair

BUt still it all depends on the type of oil-  One has to understand what oils of differnet types do and how they work and their chemical make up....

If that JOICO work, that is good. But know look at the ingredients, go to ewg.org and look at the health risk, that may result.

Many people wonder why they have some ailment or another, have to look at the skin/hair products we are using (not to mention what we eat)  But at least start with what cosmetics u use every single day of your life.
from lotion, toothpaste,DEODERANT and hair.

I for years until say 35, thought I had dandruff really bad, dry itch scally scalp...tried all kinds of stuff....I ALso had has Allergies really bad, sneezing,clogged up like I had a cold all the time.  ..GUESS what when I stop using shampoo with SLS my condition cleared it self.....still got itchy and dry scalp once in a while, but that come to find out was the other hair products getting on my scalp, clogging pores, which will cause the natural oils from sebaceous glans not to work.......to this day, with my relaxer, no dry itchy scalp.  So it is possible a lot of the other chemical in hair products did not agree with me.  I also have no more allergies
Please check out EWG.org...Since you are a cosmo, u should be aware of what you ar using on clients hair people.

Check AUbrey, they are one the #1 leading safe prod on the market, acnt not get it in beauty supply...only health food or their site.
TRY it

Hey Deon I am not familar with this product but if it contains mineral or petreleum oil it is only blocking moisture out. For ends only I love Qhemet Alma & olive heavy cream or pure shea butter because they are thick and creamy like grease without the bad ingredients so they help seal the ends. Also sweet almond oil is suppose to help prevent split ends...you can try using it on your ends nightly or even as a hot oil treatment. HTH

Oil moisturizer with castor oil and aloe good for your hair.  I asked because thats what I use and I know it has my hair looking and feeling good and thats all I put on my ends.
