Wondering what split ends look like? You can tell that you have split ends if the ends of your hair strands fray or split into multiple parts. These fraying strands may form "Y" or "V" shapes. If you have split ends, you can trim your hair to maintain a healthy appearance.
To prevent split ends, avoid using heat on your hair, use moisturizing and conditioning products, and use hair masks and serums. Aim to wash your hair no more than 2-3 times a week, and when you do, shampoo only your roots and condition only the ends of your hair.

How do you get a strong, sharp jawline?

I do fine with dating and stuff, and I think I’m otherwise a pretty attractive person, but my jaw has been bugging me a lot recently. I’d love to have a more chiseled, clean look, but I don’t really know how I could do that. Are there workouts or exercises I can use to improve the shape of my face and strengthen the look of my jawline? What would you do?
