I recently cut 3 inches off my hair. I never blow dry, I use a ceramic flat iron (I think it's this (http://www.amazon.com/Remington-S9500-Collection-Digital-Straightener/dp/B003V249L0/ref=dp_ob_title_hpc) one, but apparently I paid full price a few years ago) on it's lowest setting maybe 3 times a week, always condition, don't wash every day, use argon oil, use a deep moisturizer once a week.

Why oh why are there so many damn split ends!

In the grand scheme of things, I know this is petty. :)

No idea, but regular use of a flat iron is tough on my hair. I blow it dry straight every other day vs. not blowing dry and using a flat iron.

It is the flat iron! I have long blonde color treated hair. My old strategy was to wash, blow dry part way and leave it. I'd wash every other day or even every three. My hair stayed healthy for YEARS this way despite the blow drying and color. My sister gave me a flat iron last year and within 3 months i had horribly damaged hair! My stylist told me to stop using the flat iron and now (one year later) it looks much better again! I know flat irons seem to work fine for a lot of people but they definitely damage my hair!

I sympathize! I don't even own a flat iron or curler, and yet I have a ton of split ends. I hate it! I have long color treated hair, and only blow it dry. And not just the ends, but at all lengths.

:yeahthat: except I don't even have color treated hair. I've straighten it couple of times, blow dries may be once a month. I try to keep it natural as much as possible and I have of split ends all over.
