Hello
No one likes a split up, especially when the split us is the ends of your hair. Lets just say my hair has had its fair share of break ups. A lot of heat and colour has left my hair damaged and sometimes I find dead ends apon dead ends.

When I received a sample of Tresemme Split Remedy shampoo and condtioner I was a little cynical about what they were claiming it could do. Apparently after 3 uses there will be up to 80% reduction in split ends. Now I'm no hair expert but I'm pretty sure that once you have split ends the only cure is to take a visit to the hairdressers? However, Tresemme were claiming to repair split ends in just three uses! Impressive ey? After looking at their website to try and find the small print where it says that it only works on freshly cut hair that has never been exposed to the sun, heat or any type of damage, I found "Because split ends are negatively charged, the positive charges of the
gel body attach to the inside of the split. During the drying process,
this then contracts to bind split ends together — leaving you with a
smooth, frizz proof look and a just-cut feeling". Well know I was excited to try this, they had definitely done their research and I was ready for my hair to look like I had just been for a good old cut.

I used the little sample but because it was only a small and I have thick long hair it wasn't quite enough so I had to mix it with another brand. Once I had dried my hair I didn't see any different at all but just put it down to the fact that I had mixed it and that you have to use it three times to see a benefit.
The next day I researched to see where the best price was and found that Tesco had them at half price for the shampoo and conditioner, basically buy one get one free. Bargain. While out I also popped into Boots, they had 3 for two so I picked up the leave in treatment for free...Double bargain. So I was all prepared for my split ends to kiss and make up.
I've used the shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment for two weeks now (5 washes) and got to admit I have not seen this 80% repair I was promised! I've seen a difference but nothing major. If I had paid full price for them I would be rather miffed off now, paying £15.67 for something that doesn't work any better than some of the other products I have tried that are cheaper. However because I got the deals and really only paying £4.99 I can't really complain. I'll continue to use them but I wont be repurchasing them unless I start to see a bigger difference in the meantime.
Somehow I think that repairing split ends is impossible and I can feel a hairdressers appointment on the cards.
Can you recommend any products that claim they can repair split ends?
