If you want straighten your hair, please avoid using heat as possible as you can. Using some drugstore straightening products then that would definitely be kinder to your hair than a chemical relaxer or a heat tool. Harsh chemicals and heat are the hair's worst enemies.

Split ends cannot be fixed or glued back together. Splits must MUST be snipped off with professional hair scissors or very sharp sewing scissors. The key is SHARP. Get a pair and designate it only for hair (no opening bottles, no cutting construction paper, nada.)

Split ends are where hair unravels at the end and frays like a rope. Hair is made of these fibers that are "wrapped" together by the cuticle (like tree bark). Once this cuticle or "tree bark" is worn down, the inside frays like mad. The farther up it frays, the more hair breaks off. and the more hair will be lost. These splits MUST be cut off, otherwise the hairs will unravel even more and/or break off more. The longer a person waits, the more hair they'll have to cut off.

Too many split ends will make hair look worn out and frizzy, compared to a person with few or no splits.

The best thing to do is prevent splits before they happen:

(1) Avoid using hot water on the hair. Hairwash with warm or cool water and rinse cold if possible.

(2) Condition very very well.. and don't forget a deep conditioning every now and then.

(3) Search and destroy all the splits you can find, in order to prevent more unraveling.

(4) Use gentle hair toys and hair grooming tools. This includes throwing out anything that eats your hair when you take it out. Spring clips, barettes, and the like. Plastic molded combs have a seam that claws at hairs like tiny razorblades (observe in between the teeth).

(5) Most of all, minimize use of heat tools and harsh chemical treatments. This includes blow drying (blow frying), irons, relaxers/perms, dyes, etc...
