Short answer

Kérastase products may improve the feel and manageability of dry brittle hair, but persistent breakage needs gentle care and assessment of its underlying cause.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

Why hair becomes dry or brittle

Dry hair has less moisture at the fibre surface, while brittle hair breaks easily when the shaft is weakened. Frequent heat styling, bleaching, colouring, tight hairstyles, harsh washing, and friction can all contribute. Split ends and short broken pieces suggest shaft damage; shedding from the root is a different concern and can have medical triggers. A cosmetic product can condition the outside of the fibre, reduce roughness, and make combing easier, but it cannot repair a split section back together. A scalp examination helps separate breakage from hair loss.

A gentler hair routine

Choose a cleanser and conditioner that leave the scalp comfortable, use conditioner through the lengths, and detangle with a wide-tooth comb from the ends upward. Reduce high heat, bleaching, and tight pulling while the hair recovers. Pat hair dry instead of rubbing it vigorously, and protect it from repeated friction. If there is ongoing shedding, thinning, scalp scaling, or no improvement after changing damaging habits, arrange a dermatology assessment. The clinician may discuss whether Hair Supplement Therapy is relevant, but supplements should follow an evaluation rather than replace one.

When to seek care

Seek a medical review for sudden hair loss, widening parting, bald patches, scalp pain, sores, marked scaling, or breakage with fatigue or other new symptoms. Prompt care is appropriate for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, or a severe reaction after a hair product. Bring the product list and describe recent chemical treatments, diet changes, illness, and medicines.

Questions for your doctor

Ask whether the problem is shaft breakage or shedding, which scalp or hair tests are appropriate, which ingredients or procedures to pause, how long a gentler routine should be tried, and whether a supplement has a clear role for you.

Questions people ask

Can Kérastase fix split ends?

It can make damaged ends feel smoother, but a split section usually needs trimming because cosmetic products cannot fuse it permanently.

When is brittle hair a medical issue?

Persistent breakage with scalp changes, sudden shedding, thinning, or other symptoms deserves assessment for causes beyond surface dryness.
