This is one of those questions I get asked with startling regularity—like three times a day. And I think there's a good reason: Unless you're a haircare zealot—by which I mean you see your stylist without fail every six weeks for a trim, you never overshampoo or overstyle with heated tools, and you wouldn't go near a chemical treatment—some breakage and split ends are inevitable. But a few suggestions from master stylist Barry Reitman at the Juan Juan Center in Beverly Hills can help:
Use a moisturizing shampoo (like Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection + Intense Hydration Shampoo, $12) and rinse-out conditioner (such as Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Conditioner, $4), concentrating the product on your split ends.
Rinse with cool water to seal the hair's outer layer.
Detangle with a wide-tooth comb.
Pour a bit of shine serum (try Garnier Fructis Style Brilliantine Shine Glistening Drops, $4.50) into your palm and glide it over split ends.Be sure to dry your hair thoroughly; split ends look worse when they're frizzy.
To camouflage the ends, use a light heat protectant (like Redken Spray Starch 15 versatile ironing spray, $13) when hair is completely dry. Then use a ceramic or Teflon flatiron to straighten the bottom inch of your hair.
