How to make the tips of the stroke fade smoothly?

[default8vag7ibdibvx]

Hello. I made this stroke that fades smoothly to the sides, but I want to make the same for the tips. They just end abruptly.

How to?
Thanks.

You could try and apply round stroke ends.

Or you could try a width profile that gets thinner towards the ends.

Hello.
You created it by applying a gradation to the stroke.
That way it can be hard to smooth the edges.
My preferred method is to use "Blur".
First, draw a path with rounded ends,
From the "Effect" menu, select "Stylize"> "Blur"
Alternatively, select "(Photoshop Effects) Blur" from the "Effect" menu.

You could use the stroke width tool. Not that easy but should do the job

Once OK you can save this stroke profiile an  reapply whenever needed to any other stroke
