How to Prevent Split Ends

To prevent split ends from forming in the first place, Kener recommends applying heat protection before using hot tools. Try the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Pre-Iron Spray Leave-In. “Once hair is damaged, the only way to get rid of it is cutting,” she says.

“Think of your hair like a tree: If you don’t trim it, it will just keep breaking,” says Kener. “But if you maintain it and shape it in a way that allows for it to flourish, it will grow.” She recommends getting a trim every six weeks so that strands grow back strong and split-free.
