There is no real cure for split-ends except trimming them. What this means? All shampoos and conditioners claiming to cure split-ends are a fake glue that just holds the split-ends together until the next wash. Or until they can hold them. What is the Alan Truman Split-ends trimmer? A tool that trims split-ends and fly-aways without reducing your hair length considerably. Works on straight, wavy, curly and very curly hair. It is as easy to use as a hair straightener or a hair brush.
