Hello Ladies,

I'm new here and I wanted to introduce myself. HI!! I was wondering if it is possible to use various products (like leave-ins, grease, oil sheen, etc.) on my ends to repair them so I don't have to cut them.  

Thank you ladies in advance.

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.

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.

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?

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
