Gentle Washing: Use a mild sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid washing your hair too frequently, as excessive washing can strip natural oils and weaken hair.
Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to wash your hair. Hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it more prone to breakage.
Pat Dry: After washing your hair, gently pat it dry with a soft microfiber towel. Avoid vigorously rubbing your hair, as wet hair is more susceptible to breakage.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Hairstyles that pull on your hair, like tight ponytails, braids, or buns, can lead to breakage. Opt for looser styles and avoid using rubber bands with metal parts.
Hair Accessories: Use hair-friendly accessories like scrunchies or hairbands made of soft fabric instead of elastics with metal components that can cause friction.
Regular Trims: Get regular trims to remove split ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft, causing further breakage.
