I think it is a nice idea that hair that will not be cut from the beginning of its lifetime will protect itself for split ends. Scientifics say that the usual hair lives 4 or 5 years and then it will be replaced by a new one, so from the theory a women with waist length hair needs no cut.
But it is also known that hair will be damaged through much combing, maybe also through friction with clothes. So it is important to comb the hair very carefully and only if necessary.
I think washing of the hair is necessary because our environment is very dirty and I don`t know how all this stuff influences the hair. Hair is much more sensitive as the skin itself and it is the first one that suffers through radiation. From a coworker I heard that he only uses stuff for body care for hair washing because shampoo is too agressive, even if it is thinned with water. And it helped him to reduce hair loss.
I heard that split ends occur from dry ends, so something like Jojoba oil could help to protect it (or conditioner, but I am not sure if it helps alone).
I know if split ends occur they can grow up and destroy the hair, so a cut seems necessary, but it is besser to do it individually as to cut off all the hair around.
A problem may be that damages of the hair can not always be seen from an outer view, but there exist also women with the best healthy hair one can imagine and they cut it for different reasons, so I think a certain tolerance against hair damages should be allowed.
