Split Ends By Stylist Ashieka Daniels

Here is a helpful tip that Hair Stylist can use when addressing clients with split ends.  First we need to understand as Hair Stylist we may need to be more sensitive in this area for some women more than others. Many women today have split ends and don't want to get a trim for several reasons.  One may be they had a horrible experience at the salon where the hair stylist may have cut much more hair than needed.  Second, some women feel that nothing is wrong with their damaged ends.  In their mind holding on to the length of their hair is some what comforting.  Thirdly, they may not know that their ends need to be trimmed.  Which ever is the reason for their split ends you need to address them with your client as soon as possible.  Not taking proper care of their hair and prolonging clipping their ends could cause additional damage to their hair.  The best way to describe split ends is to take your pointer finger and your middle finger.  Slowly separate them.  This is the same effect your split ends have on your hair.  If not addressed our ends will continue to split up the hair shaft which in turn will cause more damage and more hair that needs to be cut.  My best advice is to clip your clients ends on a regular bases.  For some 8 to 12 weeks would work perfectly.  For those who have extreme damage caused from improper hair care, getting a full hair cut may be the only option.  For those who feel a full hair cut is to drastic you can trim the hair gradually until all the damaged split ends are gone.  Hope this short tip helps. If you have any questions you would like answered please send them in.
