Share pictures of your split ends

I agree! I can do years worth if damage in just half an hour!

Yes I looked into silk pillowcases the other week. I absolutely cannot stand to wear bonnets at night. I get overheated, my ears hurt ect. Do you recommend any special pillowcase? My problem is sliding off them at night. I wish the underside was cotton/linnen and the upperside was silk, that way the pillow would stick better to my sheets. Do you know if there is such a two-side pillowcase?

Hmm, not that I've seen. I've had mine for a couple of years and never had an issue with falling off of it, or having it slide around my bed (the weight of my head and being pinned under me helps there, ) The biggest issue I have with mine is that it slides around on the pillow instead. I bought mine from a bed and bathroom store where I live, but I think the next one I buy will have a zip closure as opposed to the envelope style that's so common for pillowcases. It can't slip around if my pillow's zipped in there! So, if I was going to suggest anything, it would probably be that. If you can, find one with a zipper. And yeah, naturally, you don't have to go with silk. Satin is cheaper, works and looks exactly the same.

Welp, this is what I see every time I brush my hair while it's straightened. I'm babying my ends as much as I can, but those last few inches are still severely bleach compromised (those are the parts that I put sun-in on years ago. NEVER AGAIN.)

As you'll observe, the splits just break off on their own, which is why I'm more concerned about SS knots when S&D-ing. It's amazing really, that the ends are as intact as they are. A good even trim is definitely in my future.



(Side note, silk is a type of fabric, satin is a type of weave. Satin can be woven from any fabric, but only silk is silk.)

Somehow, jute satin just sounds so wrong

Found this while S&Ding. It's amazing how far up this one was.

I get a strange sort of satisfaction finding those "far-up" splits and trimming them off. It's bad that they're there because *damage*, but at the same time they give variety to my split ends.

Is that weird?

I NEED TO GO TO REHAB!

I will have nightmares for the rest of my life. ;( Just kidding. I don't have split ends at the moment, I cut them off.

I also love finding splits high up! Though I'll admit. They always make me super nervous that ALL of my strands are truly split and I can't even tell... because it's traveled up so far. What if every strand I think is its own is actually a long split hair???

I think about it a lot. Truly, in my own hair, I can kind of recognize when a strand is split, even far up, it just... doesn't look right

So I haven't been active in a while, but I've taken pictures of the funny splits I've found during this time.


The triple split.


And the "long split".

Those are some exciting splits!

Those long splits are so dastardly! They're what makes me consider just chopping off an inch or two at the ends and just being done with it.
