My Split Ender Arrived! - Page 3

@Seamonster

I was told to not glue the hair plate to the device. Jerry said it's best, if it's loose, to stuff a "piece of toilet paper" (his words) in the hair plate to make it hold tighter. He explained that it would be easier to replace the hair plate, if not glued, than replace the whole unit if the hair plate was broken/cracked. Apparently they changed this part of the design at some point since people were dropping the device.

@naturalmanenyc
We have gone through a lot just to get these hairs trimmed

I won't know if I have mine yet until I get home...

Got my hair plate today!

I did not even notice it until just now. I was out all day with friends/kids at a water park and went straight to the shower to wash the chlorine from my hair. I will try the Splitender tomorrow and report back.

I think it worked pretty well. The Splitender did not trim too much of my hair at all. In fact, I am guessing less than 1/4 inch. I did not do my normal overnight deep conditioning process or use my steamer so I did notice some reversion before I was done trimming.

You have some lovely thick hair ma'am!

I used to own this product. I didn't think that it would work, so I gave it away.

After reading this thread, I wonder if I should have held on to it.

I was going to PM you for an update!! I'm so glad you got it and it worked well for you. I liked it too! It didn't trim a lot off for me either and I will definitely be using it to keep my splits away

This company is a hot mess. I ordered a Split-ender last year and while I do like the product the company consistently comes up short. I was supposed to receive the Miracle slik capsules with mine and I never got them. I called dude and he was like well we ran out but we'll ship them to you. That NEVER happened.

I have my split-ender and the extended warranty but I hope I never have to use it cause dealing with them is a nightmare.

naturalmanenyc · #53 08-06-2012, 11:47 AM

@Lynnerie

You should call them for your Miracle Silk capsules. I have no intention of using mine but if they were to come with your package, you should get them.

I bought the extended warranty too.....just in case.

Hey Naturalmane! No, I was home alone so I didn't have anyone to take pics for me but I must say...my ends feel so much better! I follow your blog so I did see your pics

Let me know how you like it once you use it.

I, bandwagon jumper and all, ordered the splitender monday and received it a few hours ago. I havent opened the package (I'm at work and my co-worker is nosy as all hell) but will once I leave and I hope everything is intact and in order. From what I've read so far, I should check to see if there are blades and everything should already be assembled, right?

Yes. Make sure there is a blade in the area you can see through...it is clear.
