Someone please tell me which is more sad – me having 4 inch long split ends, or me searching for them obsessively with a giant pair of scissors in hand – my mother thinks I’m mad!
Either way, it means my hair is extremely damaged and something needs to be done. Step one was to copy off 4 inches of hair and the next thing to do was find some kind of leave in, anti-break, anti-split end, anti- everything to fix my destressed hair.
(By the way, I am wondering why my split ends are that bad – I don’t blowdry, dye, perm, or use styling tools. The only thing I can think of is that I tease my hair A LOT because of styles/ in need of volume. I’ve heard teasing is terrible for the hair, but is it really that bad?!)
Anyways, I was at my cousin’s house one day, she’s getting married (!!!) and she told me about Redken’s Extreme Anti-Snap product, a “leave-in treatment gently smoothes the cuticle and helps fortify hair that’s prone to breaking, splitting or snapping off.”
I tried some on and this thing is gold!
The smell is delicious and gives my hair that whole “salon fresh” look and smell to it. It was easy to apply, and my hair felt extremely soft and smooth after applying it. Since the product is more of a prevention tool rather than solution, I can’t really document if it’s helping but I believe that it would help – my hair felt really healthy and I assume using this product longer would help even more. I’m on the hunt for my very own bottle.
Does anyone have any other tips on preventing split ends? I think I need all the help I can get!

Renee!! Teasing is VERY bad!! 4 inch split ends? omy god…Found this online::
Because backcombing rubs against the scales of the hair’s cuticle, it can cause serious and progressive damage to the hair’s integrity. Over time, this leads to weakening and breakage.[1] It can also cause tangles near the root that are very difficult to remove.[2] Frequent backcombing is not recommended for people who want to maintain long hair.
So now you will stop?? haha
Nooo…what am I supposed to do now?! I put my hair up all the time so that’s what I do to get it to stay up.
But I don’t think I’ll ever stop backcombing my hair, I have to do it! I’ll just load up on this product and cut my hair really, really frequently I guess :’(
Thanks for the info though, I really appreciate it, and your comment
