Mini - The Original Cordless Split End Hair Trimmer Automatic 3 AAA Battery Home Care Clipper 2-in-1 for Dry Damaged Splitting Broken Brittle Straight Curly Frizzy Beauty Styling - Silver

This thing does work! Yes it pulled a few hairs and its not perfect, but it definitely works. I had a lot of split ends after a year of blonding, and was thinking about getting a bob haircut. Decided to give it a try and bought this tool. I love it! The only thing is that I think one needs a hair trim after using Split Ender, because it cuts off split ends and you had then at the bottom of your hair, the hair will look nicer but with an slightly uneven line. So if you like you hair straight and even, plan for a trim after this.

I felt compelled to write a review because I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I feel like an absolute idiot for falling for this. It's like the get-rich-quick scheme of hair trimming! I did some chemical processing on my hair a few months ago and noticed some split ends after everything was said and done, which was expected. I knew I needed a trim, but didn't want to sacrifice much length and had always wondered about this product so I figured I'd give it a shot. I saw mixed reviews for it at the time, but you know how it is--you see what you want to see and go against your better judgment because you're excited to try something new. It arrived and I ran it through my hair and WOW did it look better fast! A lot of my split ends were gone, my hair was soft and more manageable and I didn't lose a ton of my length....I was sold! Until a week later when I noticed that almost every hair on my head suddenly had a split end. I thought it was odd, but figured.....maybe I somehow didn't notice them and the condition of my hair was worse than I initially realized. So I ran it through my hair again and boom....soft hair, no split ends, fantastic! Until a week later when again.....almost every single hair on my head had a split end. I was baffled! I've been colouring and using heat on my hair since high school and have never experienced this kind of damage--and I now use my iron at 100 degrees cooler of a temperature than I did then, with a heat protectant spray. This shouldn't have been happening....it made no sense! I started searching online with the heading "split ender made my hair worse" and I learned a lot. The blades inside the machine aren't razor sharp the way shears are, so it doesn't create a clean cut. It basically chews and rips your ends off instead, causing a fray in the hair fiber which then turns into a split not long after. If you're looking for a trim without sacrificing much length, this is not the godsend it appears to be. I ended up taking shears to my hair and cutting an inch off just to rid myself of all the split ends before they got worse. I ended up losing more length in the end than I would've had I just trimmed it in the first place. I'm so upset with myself for falling for this and I hope that my experience warns the rest of you away from doing the same to your hair. I know it's not ideal when you're trying to grow your hair out, but going and getting a good trim from a licensed stylist with real shears is truly the way to go. If you go regularly, the length lost will be so minute you'll barely notice it and you won't be filled with regret as you gape in awe at your shredded hair a week after using this like I did. Learn from my mistakes, ladies.....save that beautiful hair of yours and do not order this product!!! You deserve better than chewed up, split, fried ends!

Got for someone As gift an she said as well I seen works very well and does not cut more hair then attended.

This product really does preserve hair length, which is what I was most worried about. It only took off about 60-70% of my split ends, but at least it didn't shorten or damage my hair. If you feel it snagging or pulling hairs out, make your sections smaller. The machine can only take a TINY TINY bit of hair at a time. It will take a very long time to do your whole head, so be prepared. I feel like I would use this product for occasional maintenance or right before a big event. It's not perfect, but it'll have paid for itself in 2 uses and I can trust it to not chop off inches of my hair.

I have relaxed hair (natural texture is 4C). The split ender mini worked fine. It wasn't incredible, but it did get my split ends. Some of my hair would snag, even when feeding in small portions. Ultimately, I found myself going back to my scissors.

This product does a great job my daughter uses an it gets the split ends off an make her hair feel softer

I don’t feel like it took hardly anything off and there’s hardly any air in the unit itself to me. It was not what I was expecting or worked as was advertised.

I am beyond pissed about this purchase. I paid $70 for it to not do anything. I usually will base my purchases how many stars they have. While none of the electric hair trimmers available on Amazon had good ratings. I saw that this one at least had more ratings. So I decided to go ahead with this one. I was getting tired of trimming my hair; not knowing if I was doing it right, but not having the money to go to an actual hair dresser. I have been trimming my hair for several years, never fully getting all my split ends. I've struggled with getting my hair to grow for years, and with my finally getting some length to my hair I would like to not have to cut so much of my hair of.I brought this because it says it will trim those split ends while also retain length. I have thick, course kinky hair. After using this hair trimmer for nearly 2 hours, it barely trimmed any thing. I wish I had taken I picture, but literally there was barely any hair in the little compartment after nearly 2 hours of supposedly trimming my hair. This was such a waste of money and time.
