My ends are splitting so much more than usual lately. It's driving me crazy. I can't figure out why. My scissors are sharp, I wear my hair up every day, I only wash once a week or so, I oil, I don't comb while wet or even touch it really, I sleep on satin pillows. I haven't changed anything, and I've never had a problem until now. My ends have been really dry lately, and now are splitting a lot. The only thing I can think is that it's still damaged hair from pre-LHC, and it's been dyed and bleached, but I'm not really sure why that would affect it now unless it's just because it's old plus that damage? How do I stop this from happening, what do I do? I was going to wait until classic to start trimming because that's where I wanted to maintain, but I won't reach classic until next September-ish. I don't know if I can wait that long to start trimming because of this. I don't really S&D all that often, should I do it more? I also haven't had an actual trim since January, and wanted to wait until this coming January before trimming again.
Thoughts? Any and all opinions and advice are welcome and appreciated.
I want my hair to be the first thing people notice, the way they describe me, and the only thing they remember.

depression and lack of healthy diets can do that too and yes cut the split ends or they will go through your length, i hope it's temporary and you it will be back fine..may be it needs protein treatment too?
Maybe you could start microtrimming,its been ? while since your last trim. And old damage and no trims for ? long time seem to be the cause of this. Better not to wait out too long on trims is my own experience. Good luck
It could be a combo of older hair that has been damaged plus it may have been what was forming durrng a stressful time or when you werent eating well ect... So the hair wasnt as strong as it should have been anyway. I have patches like that from when my health issues have flaired its fine wirey kinks easily and breaks/splits.
When my ends get like that I coconut oil them in addition to my usual leave-in.

Age gets to hair eventually, so that plus the preexisting damage might have done your ends in. I'm a big proponent of cutting over babying, but that's my own personal opinion from my own experiences. For me, damage travels up and no amount of babying stops that. You may try S&D if you have the patience.
I agree with the "old damage catching up to you" and the solution to "microtrim". My damaged hair is still growing out, it feels really soft and is no longer crunchy but it is still scarred by the damage I inflicted on it over two years ago with dyes and chemical/brazilian straightening. It has grown heaps in two years but until the damage is cut off (which I am doing gradually) it will remain more susceptible than the new growth I've had in that two years.
Once the damaged bits are gone the 'fresher' ends should not split like they are now unless you revert back to bad habits!

I agree with the above posters, but I don't know if there is another factor causing your splits. How long have you not trimmed your hair? You should make S&D a regular habit actually.
Possibly the drier weather? Is your hair longer than it's been for a while? You could just be at a length where your ends are getting all damagey from brushing your hips or something.
Maybe a good trim will help. Also, every time you wash your hair, let is soak in coconut oil at least half an hour, if possible two hours. I think this might help a great deal. Hope you figure it out
