How to Fix Hair Ends That Flip Out
Hair ends flip out when the cut, cowlicks, or drying direction bend them away from the neck. Re-dampen the ends and set them inward with tension.

The fix
- mist the flipped ends until slightly damp
- apply a tiny amount of smoothing cream
- wrap the ends under with a round brush
- cool the hair on the brush before releasing
Prevent it next time
- Dry the nape and face-framing pieces with downward tension.
- Ask for subtle weight removal if the ends kick out every day.
Notes
Why this works
Reforming only the ends saves time and avoids adding heat everywhere. Tension smooths the cuticle while the inward bend sets.
