Hello everyone, I have a really serious problem with split ends on my hair so I think I am pretty much going to have to start all over again. I'm looking at the bright side though, at least I can try to get a better job while I have short hair and then grow it once I get the job. I think instead of just getting one haircut it would probabley be better for my hair if I trim a bit off every other day, that way it will stimulate the hair to grow rapidly so I can quickly have long hair again once I get rid of those split ends, not to mention I won't have to put up with all the bullshit on one day of everyone noticing a day and night difference saying things like "Oh, you finally got a haircut, you look sooo nice.". SO what do you guys think everyone, do you think it is worth it to temporarly have a short haircut to get rid of the split ends and find a better job? How can I prevent split ends from happening again? Anything else I can do to make my hair grow faster? thanks
Some will tell you never to cut, but I offer a different strategy. Cutting your hair will not stimulate it to grow. But cutting of 1/2 inch might get rid of some of the split ends that would prevent your hair from tangling and help you to comb it more gently thus not breaking more. If that is so, it would appear to grow faster. But if you have a trim, make sure the Barber is following your directions: Take no more than 1/2 inch off the ends, and not that if there is no damage. If you cut more I will not pay you because you have not followed my work order.

THANKS JAMES, BUT I THINK MY SPLIT ENDS ARE A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN JUST A 1/2 INCH. I CAN SAY THAT WHEN I DO GET A TRIM OF AN INCH IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD THE DAY AFTER FOR A WHILE, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT FEELS STIMULATED OR SOMETHING (AND I LIKE IT), MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER, I FIGURE THAT IF YOU GET THAT FEELING A WHOLE LOT THEN YOUR HAIR WILL GROW MORE RAPIDLY I JUST FIGURED THAT SINCE MY SPLIT ENDS ARE SO SERIOUS THEY GO INCHES, MAYBE I COULD CUT AN INCH OFF AND ENJOY THAT FEEL FOR A DAY OR 2 AND THEN CUT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE PLACE WHERE IT IS SPLIT, AND FROM THEN ON I WILL GROW MY HAIR LONG AGAIN BUT IMMEDIATLEY TRIM 1/2 AN INCH OR 1 INCH EACH TIME SPLIT ENDS START TO FORM. ALSO SOMEONE ELSE TOLD ME THAT WHEN YOU CUT YOUR HAIR AND GROW IT LONG AGAIN IT COMES BACK BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON I AM THINKING OF GETTING SHORT HAIR.
