Sohow do you get rid of split ends?

Any hair product that claims to fix your split ends is pulling the wool over your eyes.

Rather, the treatment can help prevent split ends from getting worse and restore gloss and shine to hair.

A particularly unique method of nixing split ends involves burning them off with an open flame.

Yes, you read that right.

It might sound strange, but could this be the answer to a runway-ready mane?

What is velaterapia?

The process is also referred to as candle cutting and has been a part of Brazilian culture for decades.

A lit candle is passed up and down each section, sizzling off the frazzled ends.

Afterward, your hair is treated with a deep conditioner.

Hair stylist Matt Fugate is also against velaterapia.

Using a flame to cauterize hair strands might not be the best way to remove split ends.

So how should you get rid of frayed tips?

To help prevent split ends, you’ll want to show your hair lots of love.

When shampooing, use a sulfate-free product and focus on cleansing your scalp.

Conditioner should be applied to the length of your hair.

Just don’t forget your routine trims!
