What is a common method to remove split ends?

Trimming is a widely recognized and effective method for removing split ends. When hair develops split ends, it means that the protective outer layer of the hair has worn away or been damaged, leading to fraying at the tips. The only reliable way to eliminate split ends once they occur is to cut them off. Regular trimming, ideally every 6 to 8 weeks, helps maintain the hair’s health by preventing these splits from traveling up the hair shaft, which can lead to further damage.

While products such as split end serums may temporarily help in managing the appearance of split ends by coating the hair, they do not actually repair or remove them. Similarly, deep conditioning and applying hair oil can improve the overall health and appearance of the hair but do not eliminate the split ends themselves. Trimming is the most effective way to maintain healthy hair and prevent further splitting.
