Follow these tips for beautiful, healthy hair that will turn heads.
1. Before applying any product to your freshly washed hair, comb through your damp hair with a wide-toothed comb. Try to avoid using a brush, as it will just cause your hair to frizz.
2. Try not to comb your hair every day, as excessive combing can break hair. Rather detangle your hair from the ends when necessary.
3. Limit your heat styling where possible, and always use a lower temperature and heat-protectant spray before applying heat.
4. High-stress styles can lead to breakage and thinning. Don’t wear tight ponytails and heavy braids for long periods of time.
5. Rubber bands can cause tears and breakage. Instead, use a ponytail holder without a metal clip.
6. When it comes to weaves, choose sew-in weaves over glue-in ones, as the glue can rip out hair when they are removed.
7. When relaxing your hair, allow two- to three-month intervals between every relaxer treatment and always try to have it administered by a professional.
8. Allow your hair to breathe every once in a while. If you regularly use braids or weaves, keep your hair natural for a week or two in between styles so that it can relax.
