How to Get Rid of Split Ends?
Plagued with split ends? Even if you don’t dye or chemically treat your hair, everyday blow-drying and styling can do their worst: drying out your hair. Whether it’s thick and wavy, super curly or straight and on the thin side, very dry hair often means that split ends aren’t far away.
Of course, a trim is the most effective way to get rid of split ends, but there are things you can do now (hint: starting with a split-ends serum) to improve the appearance of those forked tips, and to prevent broken ends in the future. Read on to find out how to get rid of those crunchy, split ends and get back to healthy, shiny, manageable hair.

Read on to find out how to get rid of those crunchy, split ends and get back to healthy, shiny, manageable hair.
What Causes Split Ends?
First, let’s look at the science behind the dry, damaged hair that leads to split ends. Just like with your body, when your hair is nutrition-deficient, things start to go wrong. When hair is healthy, the cuticle – the outer envelope of the hair shaft – lies flat and smooth, and hair is soft, shiny and manageable, right down to the tips. In addition to the cuticle, the lipids that coat the cuticle also protect the hair fibre from external damage that leads to damaged, split ends and broken hair.
Over time, hair loses its substance – lipids and proteins – eroding the protective layer and chapping the cuticles. In its malnourished, weakened state, your dry hair is even more susceptible to damage from external aggressions like changes in the weather, chemical treatments and heat styling. It looks rough and dull and feels dry and brittle. And from there, split ends aren’t far away!

Essential Nutrients for Dry Hair and Split Ends
The Kérastase Nutritive range is formulated with the kind of essential nutrients your hair needs to stay strong, healthy, and easy to handle, between salon visits.
Plant-based proteins. Wheat, corn, and soy whole grains act like a nourishing supplement, feeding your hair right down to those extra thirsty dry tips. The plant-based protein complex in Nutritive Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum contains 17 amino acids that are naturally present in the hair fiber. They work to enhance the proteins after chemical damage, repair split ends, and aid in hair repair.
Vitamin blend. A blend of vitamins to provide a stronger boost to the nourishing and reinforcing properties of the Nutritive products.
Niacinamide. This derivative of Vitamin B3 helps to strengthen the fibre. Once reinforced, the hair fibre is more resistant to breakage from aggressive combing, brushing and styling.
