- Hey guys, it's Mindy and Brooklyn.
- Hey guys.
- From Cute Girls Hairstyles.
And today we're gonna be doing a Fab or Fail.
And we're going to be demoing the Split-Ender.
Now, we've had like a million people request that we do this
because, I think this machine is a little terrifying
for the general public
because it actually cuts your hair.
And so, everyone wants somebody else to try it first
before they actually try on their own hair.
- Me.
- Yeah, Brooklyn is gonna be the victim today.
So, we're gonna tell you whether it works,
give it a fab or a fail.
But before we do that, don't forget that
Kamri has officially started her Kamri Noel channel.
If you want to see some of her awesome videos,
you can click this information button right there

Let's go.
Okay, this is what it looks like when it comes.
It comes with the actual Split-Ender,
a hair clip, a comb and a little brush
to clean up the dirty ends when you're done using it.
And the instructions say Split-Ender
will only work on clean, dry hair.
It's not intended for daily use,
just for damaged hair ends only.
And you're supposed to comb your hair
free of tangles before using.
So, we're gonna go ahead and unpackage.
Maybe.
Okay, so here is the actual Split-Ender.
Can you get that out?
Here's the little comb they sent
and the clip
and the brush, which are really in there tight.
Okay, now the Split-Ender itself
has this little comby part right here
that you put the hair through when it's unlocked.
See, that's where you put the hair in and close it.
Has the blades inside and this little thing
to catch all the loose ends of hair.
Then it has a directional switch right here.
You can change, left or right.
And a lock button on the bottom.
See, you can lock it.
So that you can't get your hair in there.
Somebody couldn't accidentally cut their hair.
It says on the direction, it's really important
to remember the direction that you're going.
It always wants you to have it pointing
towards the arrow, towards the ground.
So, if I'm holding it like this,
then I would be flipping it to this direction,
the blades.
And if I were holding it like this,
then I would need to flip to it this way,
so the arrow shows towards the ground.
First, the direction say to separate off
a small section of hair.
Brooklyn obviously doesn't have thin hair,
so we're going to pull some of hers up and out of the way
to create a little bit thinner sections.
And then it says to make sure
that they're nice and smooth and combed out.
So, if you have curly hair,
my recommendation would be blow dry
and probably straighten your hair before you use this.
We have her hair all ready now.
I just divide up a little smaller section,
right here to the side.
Like this.
And then I'm gonna get the Split-Ender ready.
Now, I'm gonna be going like this,
so I wanna make sure the directional button is going down.
I need to unlock it, so that I can put her hair in.
And just so you know, in the spirit of full disclosure,
I have tried this on my own hair just before filming this,
just to make sure I wasn't going to chop her hair off.
- Yeah, I was scared.
- She was like, you can't do this on my hair.
- I was like, you better not chop my hair off.
- So, we know it's not gonna chop hair at this point.
We're just gonna trim it.
So, we're gonna put her hair in
to the middle of the Split-Ender.
Remember my direction is pointing down.
Like this.
And then squeeze it.
And let it all the way down to the hair.
And you can go over it, even more than once,
if you feel like you didn't get a good pass the first time.
Like that.
Now, we're gonna get another section
and continue to do the same thing.
So, if your hair isn't already smooth,
then you wanna just comb it out beforehand
'cause you really want to make sure the Split-Ender,
at least on the direction it says
that it just runs very smoothly through the hair.
Which it is on Brooklyn's.
Okay, so that layer's done
and we're gonna just move up her hair.
Okay, this is our last strand and I wanted Brooklyn
to really feel the texture of her ends.
Her hair is colored so,
she has like a little bit of damage on her ends
so I want her to feel it, really get a feel for it.
And then I'm gonna run it through the Split-Ender
and see if she can tell the difference.
- Okay.
I'm just gonna run it through
and it does say on the package
you can run it through a couple of times.
So, I do one full strand and then I cut like,
twice just over the ends.
So, there is that same piece Brooks.
Feel it and see if you notice any difference.
- Feels a lot smoother.
- Okay, I can see some hair in there
and now it's time to see if it really worked
and how much it cut off.
So, we're going to open this top part
and then I'm going to,
it has a little top, a little trap door thing right here.
So, I'll try to brush the blades off hair.
Okay, so you can see after all that running
that's pretty much it for her hair.
And it really literally is just like,
the bottom, maybe eight or one fourth of her hair strands.
It's just the tinniest, tinniest ends.
- It's like this big.
- Yeah, it's not very big at all.
So, definitely didn't have a scary haircut moment here.
We just barely trimmed up the ends.
Okay, so here's my conclusion about the Split-Ender.
I definitely think that it worked.
It wasn't as terrifying as we thought it might be.
- It made my ends smoother.
- It definitely made her ends smoother and feel better
but it's not gonna replace,
like if your hair is really damaged,
like up two or three inches, it's not gonna work
'cause you just need to go get a haircut.
So, I think this would be great for in between
your regular hair trims,
if you're trying to keep your hair healthy
and you're just noticing a few split ends, from heat damage.
Definitely think it would work then.
The trickiest part for me actually,
in using the machine was putting it back together.
Like, after I cleaned it out,
putting it back together was a little...
- Difficult?
- It was weird to snap it in.
But other than that, I'm definitely gonna give it a fab.
What do you?
- Me too, 'cause I can feel the difference in my hair
a little bit, so I'm gonna give it a fab too.
- Definitely, so it gets a double fab, thumbs up.
