I was brushing my hair yesterday upside down and I ran my hand over my hair as I brushed it and it felt really dry so I look in the mirror and there are hundreds of tiny split-ends on the under side of my hair. I trimmed a few of them, but I mean there are hundreds of them. And they run up the shaft of the hair. Are my barrettes causing this? I use the plastic ones and I use the cloth covered pony tail holders. I really getting tired of my hair! It's finally growing, which is a miracle in itself, and now I have split ends underneath my hair. Anyone else with this problem? ~k

I put old pillowcases on my> pillows because it can get messy on nice pillowcases.Generally, when I oil my hair I braid it and put a cotton sock over the braid and tie it into place...this keeps my pillow cases from getting oily.

Good luck and hope this helps.Do you leave the jojoba oil in your hair, or rinse it outthe next day?
Hi,I'm a little late to answer here, and this might sound dumb, but I was wondering if you were sure they were actually split ends? New hair growth that was growing in that replaces old hair that is shed daily can stick out and look like split ends. Actual split ends must have a two ends sticking out from the end of the hair strand. I just didn't want you to be cutting off NON split ends! Sorry if this sounds dumb!:)Also, to Carylon B., I like the sound of using Jojoba oil, I wanted to ask if it stings the eyes if you get it in your eyes overnight from sleeping, or even just accidentaly touching your eyes when applying to your hair?Thanks,HollyHolly

Can you believe it? My hair must be really damaged, but I'm trying to get it under control and get my hair back healthy! ~k
