no matter how gently i treat my hair, how often i keep it up, how often i S&D and oil my hair, etc....i always have split ends!!! its probably cos my hairs fine but it really gets me down when my hair looks really good but then i look closely and see lots of the little horrors! grrrrrrrrrrr
anyone else have this problem?  :-[

Are you sure those are all splits?It might be new growth which hasn't caught up with the rest yet.
But fine hair really seems to be more prone to splits.When I look more closely,I also see a number of them :P
But I found that doing regular micro-trims gives the hair a more healthy appearance  in general and splits are less noticeable.
Apart from that I keep them down with a leave-in conditioner.(In humid weather,etc.) :D

I figure it would take me a half-hour a day to keep up with my splits, my hair being so fine that there are what seems like billions of strands.  :o

But I try, and the hair looks much healthier without them, now that I'm CO washing only and wearing my hair up most of the time.

I'm just hoping that this new improved hair care routine will result in a significantly decreased split rate, so eventually all can be nicely evened out.

I hope you new routine will help reduce splits.  I too have very fine hair that was prone to splits.  I've managed to minimize the split ends with more careful handling of my hair, but still suffer from breakage  :'(  

Hope things improve for you!
