First I will state that I agree with you.  I believe that a woman's hair is
her glory.  However, I (as well as my sister) have been raised in a
Pentecostal home.  We have NEVER had our hair cut, trimmed, singed, etc.
yet we have had to "deal" with split ends.  I have noticed that the ends
will go through stages in which there will be many split ends and then
these will eventually break off and there will be less.  This is true for
both of us.   
 
To say that women to have never cut their hair do not have split ends is
false.

The above statement is also true.  You have never heard my sister or myself
complain of this since we have been taught from the time we were very young
that it was not something to be worried about; the benefits of having
"long" hair outweigh meeting the world's standard of "acceptable". 
 
Also, just as an aside - the comment was made: 
>If hair gets too long, then it becomes unmanageable and messy. 
 
I found the opposite was true - once my hair reached my waist it got less
tangled and was easier to manage.
