Split Ender?

[mrslee]

Has anyone purchased and tried the split ender? Does it work?
What were the pros and cons with it?
I am thinking about getting one. Maybe I can cut out my salon visits for trims if I had this.

I've had mine for over a year now and I love it.... I've only used it three times because I don't need to trim all the time.

Pros:
It only cuts the split part of the hair

Cons:
None really, I go really slowly to make sure to catch all the ends.
It takes some getting used to when having to switch hands. There is a small directional switch on the machine that you have to pay attentin to.

READ ALL instructions that come with the machine!

I've heard it can rip the hair right out of the root!

I have one, and I'm not fond of it. It's hard to pull through my thick hair...even in small sections, it also breaks my hair because of that....

When I use my split-ender I make sure that all of my tangles are out. It isn't good for natural styles because of the comb attatchment.
Other than that I have no problems on my end.
If I have NG I don't start the split-ender at my roots. I untangle and begin the machine half way down my length.
