When you have brittle ends what do you do?

When you have brittle ends that only go away if you hair is wet what do you do? Reach for the scissors or the deep conditioner?

I would clarify and or chelate before proceeding with my regular routine (moisturize, & seal) if my ends were still crunchy after they dried I would definitely trim a bit.

After a clarify and deep conditioner, if they are still dry and brittle, do a light dusting.

After deep conditioner I use Jamaican black castor oil on my ends. Great stuff smooths them right out and them soft.

I would dust a little and then apply Qhemet Amla & Olive - Heavy Cream on my ends. I now get supple ends

Hey! Roller set your hair tautly. Make sure all of your hair is soaking wet when you roller set. Sometimes putting a serum on your ends (a very small amount is all you need) really helps.

Clarify, Deep Condition, Moisturize (i used Kids Oraganics Shea Butter) and seal (coconut oil). I tried it last nite and I was so happy with the results.

I'd clarify and chelate...then DC...mositurize...seal.

I'd try a lot of things before I trim.

Ok I meant to say Clarify or chelate if I haven't done that in a while...I think if you did both at the same time that might make it worse.

Clarify then DC. Then moisturize and seal every day.

I've found that smoothing my ends with castor oil helps alot. I use a generous amount and then twist into bantu knots overnight.

I agree w/clarifying. Follow up w/a moisturizing DC. Then baggy during the week using whatever moisturizer works on your hair sealed w/oil. When I colored my ends and they were feeling rough I dc'd 2x per week to get my hair back in shape.

Moisturize with Mizani H20 Nightime, Seal with Castor Oil and then protect ends by tucking under and pinning.

on dry hair i would mix your fave conditioner with honey and coconut oil and slather it on making sure to get the ends. sit under a plastic cap for as many hours as possible.
