Our story

The original Split Ender, since day one

Talavera Hair Products has made the patented Split Ender for more than two decades.

Victor C. Talavera, inventor of the Split Ender

The inventor

Born from four hours with a pair of scissors

Victor C. Talavera had long hair and spent about four hours every two months cutting split ends with scissors. Looking for a faster way, he invented an easy-to-use tool that removes the damaged tips in minutes without affecting length: the Split Ender PRO.

Today, people at home and hair professionals around the world use it, and salons offer it as a service to their clients.

How it works

The Split Ender’s patented “Hair Plate” guides the strands evenly through the “Strand Guards”, so each hair stands straight up as it reaches the center of the plate. The blades then snip about 1/8″ to 1/4″ (depending on the spacer you choose), right where burned, dry and split ends are found, and leave the healthy length untouched.
