C3-Sunday News, March 30, 1980 How to handle split ends Beautiful you By RENE VINCENT Split ends, those ragged tips of the hair, are an in- dication of the damage done to the keratin or protein of the hair shaft. Sometimes this damage indicates that the keratin is crumbling and does not retain its water. But it may also be a mechanical damage caused by hard brushing, hair rollers or bobby pins. When wet, the keratin is weaker. Crushing the hair shaft at this time with pin curls or brush rollers will break the hair and result in split ends, even more so on heavily-processed (permed or colored) hair. Simply cutting off the split ends is not the whole answer because the new end of hair will soon start to split. One must rebuild the keratin in the whole hair shaft. This can be done quite easily by using protein shampoos and Coping with the kids FROM PAGE C1 groups and this programme continues to be well received on the North Shore.

These will tighten the hair shaft and help it retain the water needed by the hair needed by the hair protein or keratin to remain firm and supple. If you pull on both ends of a healthy hair, it will stretch without breaking. Apply a series of protein treatments before cutting split ends and wait and see if this program will repair the damage. If it is too late and the split ends do not disappear, then they should be cut off. The rest of the hair will not fray again because of the protein treatments. In a future column we'll provide you with a list of dos and don'ts on caring for split ends.
