| i use to wonder the same thing but I dont think its possible to mend an end that is already split. But, you do a small trim on them now and take care of them so they dont get any worse. HTH |

Thanks for responding Tee7688 How often should I trim my ends? I've always wondered about this. ------------- 100% Natural BC - 4/21/07 Love All Gods' Creatures |

You can trim split ends... they have conditioners and serums that say they repair split ends. They don't, they are a temporary fix, which seals the splits together. But they in no way, stop the hair shaft from splitting further. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Thanks ladies. Ohh and thanks for the welcome carameldiva.  I'm learing a lot here. So How much of my ends should I trim? All the way up the end of the split or just the ends? ------------- 100% Natural BC - 4/21/07 Love All Gods' Creatures |

I think it varies on how much u should trim ur ends..some people only trim when needed like once a year while others trim every relaxer. i dust my ends after every relaxer(about every 2.5-3 months) and i do a good trim like twice a year.HTH |
