A split end cutting device () is embodied as an attachment (), which can be detachably connected to a hair cutting machine (), where the attachment () has first and second deflecting sections (), which are disposed parallel to and spaced apart from each other by a distance (X). By means of a hinge (), a third deflecting section () can be moved from a first position (A) passing between the first and second deflecting sections () into a second position (B) parallel to the first and second deflecting sections (), in such a way that a lock of hair () placed underneath the first and second deflecting sections () is engaged from underneath by the third deflecting section () and essentially constitutes an upside down U-shape. A cutting head () with the hair cutting machine () is positioned in a stationary fashion in such a way that when the lock of hair () is pulled through over the deflecting sections (), only the protruding split ends () in an upper region (Y) of the third deflecting section () are cut off by the cutting head ().
