What Are Split Ends?
Hairstylist Adam Frederico says you could think of split ends as splinters in the hair.

What Do Split Ends Look Like?
The cuticle generally protects the hair from the elements (whatever they may be).
This process eventually leads the hair to split from itself.
While some products may claim to mend split ends, any visible improvements are temporary at best.
According to Izquierdo, any solid preventative hair care routine should include regular trims with your hairstylist.
And don’t panic if you find a split end or two.
Federico says it best: “If you see a split end, consider it a messenger.
Your hair needs moisture.
And schedule a trim.”
