Does anybody know how to repair your hair and get rid of split ends? I can't get rid of them and I have so many!!

A hair cut. You can't repair split ends. You can make them look better, "seal" them temporarily with product, but at the end of the day they're still there. When split ends arn't removed, the split will actually travel up the hair shaft, causing more breakage (ex: all those fly-a-ways).

If you heat style of any kind (blow drying, flat iron, curling etc.) make sure you're using a good heat protector .

Of course! Too help keep/get your hair healthier, and help hide some of the frizz I can imagine you might have, maybe try something like an argon oil after styling? Just a little can do a lot!

A lot of people like the Treseme(sp?) one for a drugstore brand. How salon brands I really like are, Paul Mitchell's "Hot off the Press" and Redken's "07 Iron Silk" The iron silk is really nice because it has a light weight hold too it, so it helps hold in your style all day, and helps fight against humidity.

First off get a hair cut. Cuz you can't really "fix" split ends. also if you use hot tools to style your hair use a heat protector. I recommend using turn up the heat, you can get it at sallys and it's in an orange bottle:). Next do deep conditions, at home remedys, hair masks, leave in conditioners etc etc etc to prevent from getting split ends and to make your hair more healthy and shiny. Some of my favorite products are pure by Lesh Tech, it's a leave in hair serum and polish. I also love pliable polish by chi, and it's a ten miracle leave in conditioner. These products are a little pricey but they are AMAZING! :) Hope this helped :)

Cut them! Two options:
1. Literally chop 'em
2. Cut 2-3 inches at a time an seal ends. That way u can keep your length with compromising hair style
TIPS
•Reflect on what caused your split ends
•Vow to minimize split ends from this point on
•Got a hairstylist? be VERY VERY VERY clear on how much u want to cut? some of these stylist graduated from Edward Scissor Academy. 😝

a trim and I like tressemes split hair remedy 

I completely agree with Dupe on making sure that your stylist know EXACTLY how much (or how little) you want cut off. If you tell them "just an inch or so," they may very well take off way more than that. My old stylist was terrible about that. It even got to the point where I was like, "Okay, I want the ends of my hair, when wet, to be level with the bottom of the dip between my collarbones," and she would still cut it a couple inches too short.
So, BE SPECIFIC when getting your hair trimmed,
Protect your hair when using any heat on it,
And I also heard somewhere that sitting there and constantly brushing your hair can be somewhat damaging? but don't put too much thought into that, because I'm really not sure how true that is.

There is no way to heal, repair or mend split ends, the only way you can get rid of them is by trimming, and you have to do it quick before the split goes all the way to the root. Products that claim to mend split ends are lying, what they do is disguise the problem with a special conditioner that makes the split ends 'stick' together without actually healing them. Once you get a trim, use hydrating and repairing products to prevent split ends, pro naturals argan oil is great at this and makes your hair stronger, I use it all the time.
