Dull scissors will mess your hair up real bad.

It wasn't you.. It's the scissors!! You should always use hair scissors to cut your hair.

Did you keep using heat?
if you did it could make your ends worse

Yes. its a bad idea. professional scissors cost a crap load of money and are sharpened every couple of months. if I snip my finger during a cut I don't feel it because our scissors are that sharp and clean. ordinary scissors will break the hair and out stress on it causing more damage.

You need hair scissors. I cut my ends myself all the time. Dull scissors will make everything worse.

Agree Kelly. The prof scissors are from a certain mix of metals and are sharpened from a certain angle. I tried once to cut my ends and got them back soon. I cut my hair about 3-4 timesa year at a salon and excepting only the longest part which was bleached my ends don,t split:-)

You have to have the right scissors or it will wreck your hair. I cut my own hair and so I know this.

I've cut my own hair since I was in highschool, and these girls are all right. Hair scissors!! The magic tool buy some and trim those splits and you'll see a big difference :)

In going to guess you cut it dry. That's where you messed up, make sure it's wet next time.

I did the EXACT same thing and the same thing happened to me. And I didnt use heat for 2 weeks. It was just bugging me and I kept staring at itso I did it.

I cut my own hair but I use hair scissors. Next time think about your scissors as an investment. Mine were pretty expensive but it's worthy. Also, when trimming your own hair (which is pretty tricky and I wouldn't recommend anyone to do it) I make sure the hair is in a 90 degree angle with the scissors. That way the split ends can be prevented.
