BEST WAY TO GET RID OF SPLITENDS

                         SPLIT ENDS 
Each strand of hair on your head is composed of three layers. The outermost of the layers is the cuticle, which consists of dead cells that overlaps each other. The middle layer is the cortex. It is composed of proteins which gives strength and texture to the hair. The innermost layer is the medulla which is responsible for giving the color to the hair.  When the cuticle is worn away then the shine of our hair also goes away and it looks dry. Our hair breaks and split ends occur and our hair starts looking unhealthy.
It is caused when our hair is damaged and due to lack of nourishment in hair. It is very common among women especially who have long hair.
