During the seventies women used to burn off the split ends. You need not do this. All you need to do is to cut them off using a pair of scissors. You do not have to visit a saloon to cut them off; you can do it at home itself. To get rid of split ends, take a small section of your hair and carefully twist it gently in a downward motion.

Avoid hair-damaging activities like using a curling iron or blow-drying. If blow-drying is necessary to achieve a certain style, then one can reduce split ends by regularly applying conditioner after shampooing. Choose a conditioner for damaged or dry hair to achieve maximum hair protection. As well, leave-in conditioners applied after a shower can help cut down on damage caused by blow-drying.

Hair moisturizing mask made of mashed up avocado when applied to damp hair will prevent split ends effectively. Make sure you leave it on your hair for atleast 15-30 minutes. You can also add hot olive oil to it.

Go to your Salon and ask them to give you a consultation. BC Bonacure and Joico’s Hair Repair Line have earned their reputation. Ask your stylist to suggest the best one for you.

Rub olive oil into the ends of hair 2-3 times per week. Leave the oil overnight and wash out in the morning.

To get rid of split ends, use plenty of conditioner during and after a shower. Some conditioners are good for your hair, and others aren’t. Generally speaking, those conditioners that are more expensive or found in reputable hair salons are the better conditioners. Conditioner will not only help keep your hair feeling luxuriously smooth, but it will also help prevent breakage and the resulting split ends by lubricating your hair. The problem here is that conditioners that make your hair easy to brush tend to leave more residues.

Like everyone else said...get them trimmed. While your at your hair solon or wherever you go maybe ask them if they have a product that can help repair split ends. I have the same problem because i straighten my hair everyday. The woman who cuts my hair reommended Fantastic Repair from Fantastic Sams.It works really well for me. I dont know if you have one near where you live but i would be willing to bet that wherever you go to get your hair cut has a product that will work for you.

Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Your health and diet can affect your hair condition - a low fat diet can cause dull, dry hair which will split faster because there is not enough lubrication on the hair follicle.

Your hair is at its weakest when it is wet. So keep the regular comb and brush away as this will cause breakage.Use a wide tooth comb to gently de-tangle your hair.

You should trim your hair often, as this will help in cutting off the split ends as well. Cut your hair 1 inch above the split end or else the split end will work its way all up till the roots of the hair.
