Unfortunately, you can’t treat or repair split ends. So once the ends of your hair become damaged or frayed, the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off.

That’s why prevention is key to keeping your hair healthy and free of split ends. Although you may not be able to avoid split ends completely, you may be able to limit how often they develop.

Once split ends occur, they cannot be fully repaired or treated. The best way to deal with split ends is to trim them off regularly to prevent further damage and promote healthier hair growth. Using proper hair care techniques, like minimizing heat styling and using conditioning products, can also help prevent future split ends.
