The spread of the novel Coronavirus worldwide has caused many people  to stay home to avoid catching the virus or spreading it to others. While other services deemed essential are still ongoing, the “nonessential” ones have had to be closed down. 

One TikTok user has shared a hack that could help people maintain good hair as the visits to the berbers and salons might remain suspended a little longer. 

 TikTok user stef_fit shared a video showing how to trim off split ends. She claims that the trick was taught to her by her mother.

She states that you first need to separate your hair into sections, then comb through to ensure there are no knots. Presence of knots can affect the cut.

Separate the hair into smaller sections and twist each section around.

Split ends will stick out from the hair you just twisted. You then take a scissors and cut all the hairs sticking out. Be careful not to cut the twisted section. 

There you will have your split ends.

The video elicited different views on TikTok. Different users believe it was a good tip while others were not impressed.

“I’ve been trying to find something like this for so long,” one user wrote.

A dissatisfied user wrote, “can I just say as a hairdresser not to do this”.
