Depending on your hair type and your habits, you may or may not get split ends easily. I used to have long hair but I try to keep it short these days which is kind of difficult because it grows so fast. I've never had a split end problem until my hair had a crisis and would become greasy, even with washing it every day. So I decided to give up using conditioner. I went on like this for a few months and then decided to get my hair cut again. Well the hair stylist told me I had split ends and I told him that my hair had changed and started to get greasy, so he told me something simple in to just condition my ends. If you have long hair, i'd take care to condition your ends and it should reduce your split ends.

Oh, I think I'd like to add that my hair has become much healthier since I started using the Garnier Fructis long and strong products. Expensive, but my hair looks so much better - its silkier and shinier,and I have less problems with split ends.

I use that too! I LOVE it:D I have natural wave to my hair and after I started to use the long and strong stuff, I have curls, not just waves. I'll have to find that last pic taken and post.....my hair was so curly.

Here is that last pic I had taken with my hair done, this was on Sept. 17th. I haven't had my hair trimmed since Feb. by a professional, but I did trim it up myself a few months ago. With the Garnier Fructis, all I have to do is wash my hair, comb it and let it be. It dries on its own and bounces right up!

I should probably get mine trimmed more often, but theres really no point when i already have so many split ends from my straightening iron. So...i dont get it trimmed very often. My hair layered but the longest layer is about mid way down my back.

Also, i definitely recommend doing weekly VO5 hot oil treatments. My hair has never been so soft!

I get mine trimmed about every 8-12 weeks. I had it really long about 4 years ago and then trimmed it super short. Now it's just past shoulder length and as I'm pregnant now, it's really growing! I used to use the Garnier Fructis stuff too but my new favorite stuff is the Sunsilk line, a friend sent me a link for free samples and ever since I got them I've been hooked.

Ooh, just try the gethairapy.com site for the free goodies.

Oh and my hair is funny - I have lots of fine, wavy hair so I need to get it trimmed and thinned or else I have a huge head of hair!
