hair tip

Where split starts

The very end of a hair strand, the point farthest from the scalp.

Hair tips are where damage typically shows first—split ends, dryness, breakage.

In haircare, trim your tips means cutting off damaged ends to maintain healthy-looking hair.

The phrase also appears in styling: dip-dyed tips, frosted tips.
