BAN BREAKAGE
Overzealous detangling is the primary cause of hair carnage. That’s because when strands are wet, they swell, becoming more fragile and prone to tearing. The gentle way to de-snag is with a wide-tooth plastic comb, not a brush. Brush bristles can be too rough for the hair. So comb it with the wide tooth plastic comb only, but before you do that squeeze out excess water and apply a leave-in conditioner so the comb glides right through.
PUT A STOP TO SPLIT ENDS
Three words: Get regular trims ( ideally, every 4 to 8 weeks ). If you have fine hair, tell your stylist to use scissors, not a razor. The latter thins out and weakens ends.
SKIP DAILY SUDSING
Shampooing everyday can strip hair of moisture. Between washes, simply rinse with water and massage your scalp to redistribute oils ( your hair’s natural conditioner ) down the length of strands.
FEND OFF FLYAWAYS
Twice a week, slather on a mask with a hair smoother such as shea butter or protein. The hot to: Divide damp hair into 3 inch sections, apply the cream from root to tips, then twist sections together. This helps the mask permeate deeper inside strands. Leave on for five minutes, rinse and style as usual.
ENHANCE SHINE
Pop you clothes in the dryer continuously and they’ll fade fast. The same thing happens when you bake hair with a dryer. Prevent scorching by setting your dryer on medium or low heat; also hold it about 4 inches from hair and always keep airflow moving- never aim the dryer at one spot for more than 10 seconds.
