You can have the shiniest, silkiest hair in all the land up top, but after years of washing and styling it, the ends can wind up looking straggly and frizzy, putting a damper on your ‘do. The sad part is that split ends are inevitable, and worse, irreversible. Once a strand splits, there’s really no way to completely mend it back to health, aside from cutting it off. Thankfully, there are things you can do to prevent them from splitting in the first place. To find out the very best game plan to keep split ends from happening, we caught up with celebrity hairstylist Yene Damtew (who counts Michelle Obama as one of her clients—no big deal) to get her tips on how to get rid of these pesky things once and for all. Spoiler alert: She’s into simple, old-school split end remedies, meaning there’s no fancy hair masks, lotions, or potions required. Keep on scrolling for her game plan to wave buh-bye to split ends forever.  Treat your lengths with love It goes without saying, but the more you treat your hair with care when washing and styling it, the less overall damage it will have. Just being mindful of how you treat your hair will create some improvement, Damtew says.  So that means avoid over processing and coloring your hair as much as possible, and whenever you use a hot tool, make sure to use a heat protectant.
