Epiphany of the Split Ends

Looking at the mirror, I never thought my unkempt and uneven hair almost reached my waistline. Hair grows approximately half inch every month. Mine seems to grow about an inch every month. The length didn’t really bother me that much except for one thing; the split ends.



As the hair grows and for the hair to stay healthy and pleasing to one ’s self and to others as well, a shampoo and conditioner massage are deemed important just as regular combing does. However, too much effort which may suggest hair treatment done in an irregular basis such as a hair relax or rebond done every month to come up with a really straight hair has a relatively negative effect on one’s hair. Too much exposure to chemicals and even regular shampoo massage result to brittleness.



Such happens in a romantic relationship. Too much effort as in unusual everyday dating, everyday phone calls and exchange of text messages more likely brittles a relationship. How is this so? The more a person exposes himself/herself towards the other, like the hair getting more exposed to chemicals in hair rebond/ relax or a regular shampoo massage resulting to brittleness, the more he/she gets used to the other and the more likely he/she gets fed up towards the other.



The same happens and holds true to exerting whether no effort or less effort in a relationship, romantically speaking. No phone calls or exchange of text messages in a week definitely brittles a relationship. If no hair repair is made, if the brittleness is not mended, if a person gets fed up towards the other without resolve, the worst situation is split up. Once the tip of the hair splits up, there is no way for a hair repair but to resort to cutting.



Cutting off the split ends is plainly putting an end to the unpleasantness of the split ends , disremembering the melancholy of the split up.



As I looked at my combed hair on the mirror, the split ends truly bothered me.



I think it’s time to get a hair cut.
