If you never trim your hair it can lead to your hair developing split ends or dead ends or even just damaged hair and tangled hair.
By not cutting or trimming your hair, you're actually risking the length rather than letting it grow.
It seems counterintuitive, although frequently trimming your hair means that you'll prevent breakage by removing the dead, fragile ends.
The difference between dead ends and split ends is that split ends look like one piece of hair that splits up the middle, whereas a dead end is usually a broken piece of hair.
What this means is that the strand may be brittle, frizzy or dull in appearance.
When you still have split ends after a haircut it can be that the scissors used to cut the hair could be dull or rough.
Other causes of split ends after a haircut can be due to how you're combing, brushing or styling your hair or not keeping your moisturized.
Anything that is harsh on your hair strands can push them to their (literal) breaking point.
Basically, if you style or manipulate your hair in any way, split ends are bound to turn up to some extent.
When cutting split ends avoid use of regular scissors that have a blunt, rough blade as they can slash, tear or pull your hair.
You should instead use some good hair cutting scissors for cutting split ends to prevent further damage.
You can cut your own split ends off using a good sharp pair of scissors.
To cut your split ends off your hair hold the scissors so that they're perpendicular to the strand of hair, making it easy to snip off the split ends that you see sticking out.
Then slide your fingers down the strand of hair slowly, continuing to clip off split ends as you go.
You only need to clip off about 0.13 inches (0.33 cm) of hair.
Hair oil does not fix split ends although hair oil can help to tame the split ends and prevent further split ends of occurring.
The only way to fully fix split ends is to trim them off or cut the split ends off.
Hair oil such as marula oil, argan oil or other hair oils can tame split ends and nourish the ends which also disguises the split ends.
If using a curling iron or straightening iron you should use the hair oil after the irons to avoid sizzling hair strands.
To prevent split ends of your hair be sure to get regular trims and haircuts such as every 6 weeks, avoid washing your hair daily, choose and use an all natural shampoo to wash your hair without any harsh ingredients.
Also use a hair conditioner after you use the shampoo or use a leave in hair conditioner and use a wide tooth comb to untangle your wet hair.
Using a moisturizing shampoo will help keep split ends at bay.
And your hair will then grow longer and stronger as a result.
And be sure to make sure to follow up your shampoo session with a good deep conditioning treatment at least once a week if you want to keep your hair thoroughly hydrated and those split ends at bay.
To get rid of split ends once they occur the only option is to get out the scissors and cut off the split ends to allow for new growth.
Cutting off or trimming the hair with the split ends is the only way to fix split ends and prevent future split ends and further hair damage.
The split ends are often a sign of a problem with your hair that should be addressed soon as the split ends can prevent new hair growth and cause your hair to snap.

Split ends lead to breakage which is hair that was torn off at the end and the torn hair can split again.
If split ends reach your scalp the split ends can lead to shorter hair over time from breakage.
The hair will continue to grow at the root although if the split ends cause your hair to break off faster than growth then the hair will seem to be at a standstill in it's length and appear to not be growing although it is still growing.
Split ends do not ever go away on their own without cutting or trimming the hair and using damaged hair products and conditioner to protect the hair from further damage.
The best treatment for split ends is to first trim or cut the split ends off and use damaged hair products, and once or twice a week, use a hair mask to lock moisture into dried out ends.
And make sure you use a conditioner after every shampoo.
Your hair will grow back if you cut your split ends just like when you cut your hair normally the hair eventually grows back and once you cut the split ends the hair grows back and when you maintain the health of your hair you can prevent future split ends from occurring.
