The primary component of hair fiber is keratin. Keratins are proteins, long chains (polymers) of amino acids. Keratin proteins form the cytoskeleton (miniature skeleton within a cell) of all epidermal cells. Keratin filaments run within a cell from the inside of the outer membrane to weave a "basket" around the nucleus of the cell. Keratins are a principle part of the cells in the epidermis, hair, nails, feathers, hooves, horny tissues and the enamel of teeth.
The condition known as split ends, technically known as trichoptilosis, occurs when the hair has been stressed too much and the stress frays the ends of the hairstrand. Common causes of trichoptilosis include damage from heat styling, bleaching, coloring, and use of inferior haircare products. Although some products claim to repair split ends, this just isn't true. The only way to get rid of split ends is to cut them off.

Hair is a fabric like any other fabric. The more you use it and mistreat it the more it wears out. Washing, drying, flat irons, curling irons, gel, pomades etc. wear hair out and it splits. This is why you need to get a hair cut regularly. Just like your favorite pair of jeans, the more you wear them the more they wear out. We need to be good to out hair and use good products, if we are going to use heat of any kind, protect your hair with the right products. Yes hair is made up of dead cells, but the root of our hair is very much alive, that is part of the reason our hair grows. We need to keep it strong and trimmed and it will grow and look good.
